阅读语言点精讲导学案

长句取自 Reading 原文，例句与练习用武汉场景。

一、阅读里的四个长句

1. Located to the south of the equator, below many other countries on the globe, it's often informally referred to as “down under”.

Located … 是过去分词作状语，逻辑主语是后面的 it（澳大利亚），可以还原成 Because it is located …。

两个地点状语，一个说纬度（赤道以南），一个说在地球下方，都修饰 it。

refer to … as 是“把……称作”，as 不能省，也别换成 like。

例句：Located where the Han River meets the Yangtze River, Wuhan, which boasts more than 160 lakes within its administrative area, is often referred to as the "City of a Hundred Lakes".

2. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground, among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.

主干其实很简单：Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks，其余都是修饰。found on the ground 是过去分词作定语，修饰 sticks。

among which 是“介词 + which”引导的非限制性定语从句，which 指前面的 sticks。called the didgeridoo 也是过去分词，修饰 an amazing instrument，一层套一层，读的时候要会拆。

例句：Most of the time-honored snack stalls along Hubu Alley are small family businesses run by third-generation owners, among which a few century-old shops have attracted food bloggers from all over the country.

3. He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo.

by 后面跟动名词，说明“靠什么方式”做这件事。

while 是“一边……一边”，breathing in 和 breathing out 同时进行；and into the didgeridoo 接在 breathing out 后面，气最后送进管子。

through 表示路径，through his nose、through his mouth。

例句：Many long-distance runners finish the 42-kilometer Wuhan Marathon by breathing in through their nose while breathing out steadily through their mouth, a rhythm that helps them save energy over the final 10 kilometers.

4. Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture, minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants.

although 引导让步从句，主句前面千万别加 but。

play a part in doing 是在……中起作用，in 后面接动名词 shaping。

with 复合结构是 with + 名词 + 过去分词，contributed by immigrants 修饰 influences，说明这些影响是谁带来的。

例句：Although the main architectural style of the old concession district in Hankou has been Western neoclassical since the late 19th century, local craftsmen have also played a part in shaping these buildings, with many decorative brick patterns added by workers from Hunan and Anhui.
