理解、分析长难句策略
句子结构分析法是理解英语长难句的有效方法。在分析长难句的时候,可以先判断句子是并列句还是复合句。如果是复合句先确定主句,再找出主句中的修饰成分。去掉从句和修饰成分,句子变为简单句,就容易理解了。
Part 2 教材原文助读
“WELCOME,XIE LEI!”
BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES
Six months ago,19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to① her family and friends and boarded② a plane for London.It was the first time that she had left China. “I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn't know what to expect,” Xie Lei recalled③.
在“It was the first time that...”句型中,that引导的从句应用过去完成时。
①say goodbye to...跟……说再见
②board vt.& vi.上飞机(车、船等)
board a plane for sp.登上去往某地的飞机
③recall/rI'kɔːl/vt.& vi.记起;回想起
“欢迎你,谢蕾!”
商学院学生搭
建文化传播之桥
6个月前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的飞机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很兴奋,也很紧张。我不知道会发生什么,”谢蕾回忆说。
Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification④ at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long⑤ exchange programme. “I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about global business and improve my English. My ambition⑥ is to set up a business⑦ in China after graduation,” she explained.
此处是不定式短语作表语,表示主语的内容。当作主语的名词是ambition,purpose,wish,dream等时,通常用不定式作表语。
④qualification/ˌkwɒlIfI'keIʃn/n.[C](通过考试或学习课程取得的)资格;学历
academic/professional qualifications学术/专业资历
qualify/'kwɒlIfaI/vt.& vi.(使)具备资格;(使)合格
⑤year-long adj.持续一年的
a year-long study of the problem对该问题持续一年的研究
[构词法]year-long为“名词+形容词”构成的形容词,类似的单词还有duty-free (免关税的)、praiseworthy (值得表扬的)等。
⑥ambition/æm'bIʃn/n.[C]追求的目标;夙愿;[U]野心,雄心;抱负
⑦set up a business创业
set up开办;创建
谢蕾在中国的一所大学攻读商科,她来我校参加为期一年的交换项目。她解释说:“我选择这个交换项目是因为我想了解全球商业,同时提高我的英语水平。我的愿望是毕业后在中国创业。”
At first,Xie Lei had to adapt to⑧ life in a different country.“You have to get used to⑨ a whole new life,” she said.“I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn't know the English names for. When I got lost,I had to ask passers-by⑩ for help,but people here speak fast and use words I'm not familiar with.I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!”
句中的两个“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构并列作learn的宾语;定语从句I didn't know the English names for修饰先行词things,关系代词在定语从句中作宾语,故可省略。
⑧adapt to适应(to是介词)
⑨get used to习惯于;适应(to是介词)
⑩passer-by n.[C]过路人;行人
[构词法]passer-by为“名词+介词”构成的复合名词。类似的还有looker-on (旁观者)等。
[注意]这些名词变复数时,应在中心名词后加-s,如passers-by、lookers-on等。
起初,谢蕾必须适应在不同国家的生活。“你必须习惯全新的生活,”她说。“我不得不学会如何使用公共交通工具,以及如何询问我不知道英文名字的东西。迷路时,我不得不向路人求助,但这里的人说话很快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我要请他们重复很多次!”
Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation⑪,Xie Lei chose to live with a host family⑫,who can help with her adaptation⑬ to the new culture.“When I miss home,I feel comforted⑭ to have a second family,” Xie Lei said.“When there's something I don't know or understand,I can ask them.They are also keen to learn⑮ about China. Laura,the daughter of my host family,wants to study in China in the future.We take turns to cook each evening.They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs⑯! Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it,so I taught her how to cook it,too.”
此处是who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a host family,who在从句中作主语。
此处是定语从句,修饰先行词something,从句中省略了关系代词。
⑪campus accommodation大学宿舍,校内住宿
⑫host family寄宿家庭
⑬adaptation/ˌædæp'teIʃn/n.[U]适应;[C]改编本
⑭comfort/'kʌmfət/vt.安慰;抚慰n.[U]安慰,舒服,安逸;[sing.]令人感到安慰的人或事物
⑮be keen to do sth.渴望做某事;热衷于做某事
⑯stir-fried tomatoes and eggs西红柿炒鸡蛋
stir-fry vt.翻炒;炒
虽然一些外国留学生住在学校宿舍,但谢蕾选择与寄宿家庭一起生活,他们可以帮助她适应新的文化。“想家的时候,我为自己又拥有一个家庭而感到安慰,”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以问他们。他们也渴望了解中国。我寄宿家庭的女儿劳拉以后想去中国学习。我们每天晚上轮流做饭。他们真的很喜欢我做的西红柿炒鸡蛋!劳拉说她每次闻到这道菜就觉得饿,所以我也教了她如何做这道菜。”
Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements⑰.The first time that she had to write an essay,her tutor⑱ explained that she must acknowledge⑲what other people had said if she cited⑳ their ideas,but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own㉑.
这个句子的主干是“her tutor explained that...”。句首的“The first time that...”是时间状语从句,其中the first time用作连词。主句的谓语动词explained后面是两个 that引导的宾语从句,第二个宾语从句的连接词that不能省略。
⑰academic requirement学业要求
⑱tutor/'tjuːtə(r)/n.[C](英国大学中的)助教;导师;家庭教师
⑲acknowledge vt.致谢,(公开)感谢
⑳cite/saIt/vt.引用;引述
㉑form a wise opinion of one's own形成某人自己明智的见解
谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过导师主要是想知道她自己是怎么想的!谢蕾很困惑,因为她觉得自己知道的比别人少。她的导师建议她多读一些资料,以便形成自己的睿智见解。
Xie Lei also found many courses included students' participation㉒ in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas㉓,offer examples,apply concepts,and raise㉔ questions,as well as give presentations㉕. At first,Xie Lei had no idea what she should say,but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up㉖ in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success,which boosted my confidence㉗,” she said.“I'll use these skills back home for presentations. They'll help me build a strong business in the future.”
本句是由but连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,what she should say是what引导的同位语从句,解释说明idea的内容;在第二个分句中,what surprised her是主语从句,what在该从句中作主语;that she found...a few weeks是表语从句。
㉒participation/pɑːˌtIsI'peIʃn/n.[U]参加;参与
participate/pɑː'tIsIpeIt/vi.参加;参与
participate in参与;参加
㉓generate ideas产生想法
generate vt.产生,引起
㉔raise vt.[熟词生义]提及,提出
raise questions提出问题
㉕presentation/ˌprezn'teIʃn/n.[C]报告;陈述;[U]出示;提出(或展示、解释等)的方式;拿出
give presentations进行陈述
㉖speak up大声点说;明确表态
㉗boost sb.'s confidence增强某人的信心
boost vt.使增长
谢蕾还发现,很多课程都把学生的课堂参与作为最终成绩的一部分。学生需要产生想法、提供实例、运用概念、提出问题并进行陈述。刚开始,谢蕾不知道该说什么。但使她惊奇的是,没过几周,她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我对中国传统艺术的介绍非常成功,这增强了我的信心,”她说。“回国后我会使用这些技巧来做报告。它们将帮助我在未来建立一个强大的企业。”
Now halfway through㉘ her exchange year,Xie Lei feels much more at home㉙ in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her.“Engaging㉚ in British culture has helped,” she said.“As well as㉛ studying hard,I've been involved㉜ in social activities.British people are fascinated by㉝ our culture and eager to learn㉞ more about it,so I'm keen to share my culture with them.While I'm learning about business,I'm also acting as㉟ a cultural messenger㊱ building a bridge between us.”
画线部分是主语从句,what在从句中作主语。
㉘halfway through在……中间;在……中途
►They left halfway through the meeting.
他们在会议进行到一半时离开了。
㉙feel at home舒服自在,不拘束
㉚engage/In'ɡeIdʒ/vi.参加;参与(活动)vt.吸引(注意力、兴趣)
engage in参与;(使)从事
㉛as well as用于句首时,后面通常接名词或动词-ing形式,意为“除……之外”。
㉜involve/In'vɒlv/vt.包含;需要;涉及;影响;(使)参加
get involved in参与;与……有关联;卷入
㉝be fascinated by...对……着迷
㉞be eager to do sth.渴望做某事
㉟act as担任;扮演
㊱messenger/'mesIndʒə(r)/n.[C]送信人,信使
现在一年的交流时间已过半,谢蕾感到她在英国的学习和生活自如多了。以前看起来很奇怪的事现在对她来说似乎很正常。“融入英国文化很有帮助,”她说。“努力学习之余,我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化很着迷,也渴望了解更多,所以我很想和他们分享我的文化。我攻读商科的同时也是一个文化使者,在中外文化之间架起了一座桥梁。”
We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions㊲,but for now,we wish her all the best.
㊲edition/I'dIʃn/n.[C](报纸、杂志)一份;(广播、电视节目)一期、一辑;版次
我们将在以后的版次中继续关注谢蕾的进展,但是现在,我们祝她一切顺利。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head for Paris for a study period, perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete—forms to fill in, meetings to attend—the list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.
Once I had finished classes for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in. Maybe you can read books about Paris and talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, and the colors as the seasons change all add to the ecstasy that I experienced in Paris as an exchange student.
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door and every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying “bonjour” to the passers-by.
On my last day in Paris, I confidently said “Bonjour Monsieur” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part of going on an exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me—my own little pieces of Paris.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为交换生去巴黎的经历,作者体会到了当地特殊的文化和温暖的氛围。

Los Angeles native Randall Bartlett sat under the rooftop of a traditional Chinese scholar's studio, occasionally turning a page of his book. The scene was in the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.
Phillip E. Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, they decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats (隐居处) in Suzhou.
The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful American businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.
To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to collaboration between American and Chinese architects, contractors and designers. In all stages of construction, artisans (工匠) from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.
After three years of expansion from 2018 to 2020, Liu Fang Yuan reopened to the public with 4.6 hectares of new landscape, making it one of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens in the world. The additions include courtyards displaying penjing, a scholar's studio, a pavilion (亭子) situated at the garden's highest point,etc.
Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. “A lot of volunteers come to different lectures and exhibitions about Chinese culture that we hold regularly,” Bloom said. By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang Yuan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two countries.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。流芳园是一个按照苏州古典园林的风格建造的花园。通过中美合作,这座园林成为世界上最大的中国古典式园林之一。该园林展示了中国植物、中国哲学和中国文化,推动了中美之间的文化交流,弥合了两国之间的文化鸿沟。

答案:D
