2017考研英语阅读理解考点总结（三）

考研英语文章一个明显的特点就是多长难句，也是考生理解的关键障碍所在，而有些关键的障碍往往会成为出题的考点。因此，考生需要有扎实的长难句分析功底，对于句子的主要成分必须要划分清楚，如此才能有理解正确的可能，比如：同位语、插入语、定语、不定式、分词、各种从句等。大家平时练习中应该有意识地去分解这些句子，理解其中的句子层次和逻辑关联。例如2000年的这篇真题：

If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny—must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf.

27.It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if______.

[A] its returns well compensate for the sacrifices

[B] it is rewarded with money, fame and power

[C] its goals are spiritual rather than material

[D] it is shared by the rich and the famous

理解这个句子，我们首先要抓出主干，即：the rewards of ambition must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices.雄心的回报必须要值得为此所付出的牺牲才行。A选项说他的回报必须要能补偿其牺牲，正好符合原文含义。所以理清枝叶成分，抓出句子主干非常重要。再来看一个2014年的英语二真题。

In fact, those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other markers for having higher self-esteem.

28. Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______.

[A] underestimate their insecurities

[B] believe in their attractiveness

[C] cover up their depressions

[D] oversimplify their illusions

句子主干：those... corresponded with those.... 这两类人是一致的，然后those的后边个跟了一个定语从句，说明了具体人群。由此我们可以定位题干所问的people with higher self-esteem应该和who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real 是一致的，所以答案是B。

总之，考研英语文章多见长难句，且阅读量偏大大，所以大家一定要关注重点考点位置，学会抓句子主干，从而快速破解长难句，正确定位答案位置，2017考研英语高效的做题!
