名師GRE長(zhǎng)難句完整版(9).

　　14. Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size，number，arrangement，and interconnection of the nerve cells，but as far as psycho neural correlations were concerned，the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences. (4 -)

　　盡管其他實(shí)驗(yàn)顯示在神經(jīng)細(xì)胞的大小、數(shù)量、排列和相互連接上有一些小的差異，但是就心理-神經(jīng)的關(guān)系而言，這些感官區(qū)域彼此之間的明顯的相似性看起來比起微小的差異更為令人注目。

　　難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語

　　解釋：在前后兩個(gè)分句之間有一個(gè)插入語as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned。在后面的分句中，主語the obvious similarities之后的、修飾主語的成分較長(zhǎng)、以至于有很多讀者看到相隔很遠(yuǎn)的more remarkable than時(shí)一下子反應(yīng)不過來是什么比后者更明顯。其簡(jiǎn)化形式應(yīng)為：similarities seemed more remarkable than differences。

　　意群訓(xùn)練：Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size, number, arrangement, and interconnection of the nerve cells, but as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned, the obvious similarities of these sensory fileds to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.

　　15. Although some experiments show that，as an object becomes familiar，its internal　representation becomes more holistic and　the recognition process correspondingly more parallel，the weight of evidence　seems to support the serial hypothesis，　　at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar. (4+)

　　雖然某些實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，隨著一個(gè)物體變得熟悉起來，其內(nèi)心再現(xiàn)圖像亦更具整體感，辨認(rèn)過程相應(yīng)地更趨于平行，但證據(jù)的砝碼似乎在支持序列假設(shè)(serial hypothesis)，至少是對(duì)于那些不甚簡(jiǎn)單、不甚熟悉的物體來說。

　　難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語、省略

　　解釋：在Although引導(dǎo)的分句中，謂語shows后面跟著一個(gè)長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的賓語從句，從句中先出現(xiàn)一個(gè)插入語as an object becomes familiar,之后的內(nèi)容是由and 連接的兩套并列的主謂賓。其實(shí)and前后就是兩個(gè)句子，只不過作者省略了后面的句子中與前面相同的引導(dǎo)詞that和謂語become。

　　句子中有一個(gè)生詞holistic，其實(shí)即使不認(rèn)識(shí)，也能用合理化原則猜出它是后面serial的反義詞、parallel的同義詞，大約是統(tǒng)一、完整或同時(shí)的意思;其實(shí)只要能理解到其是與serial相反的意思即可。

　　意群訓(xùn)練：Although some experiments show that，as an object becomes familiar，its internal　representation becomes more holistic and　the recognition process correspondingly more parallel，the weight of evidence　seems to support the serial hypothesis，at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar.

　　16. In large part as a consequence of　the feminist movement，historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in　various periods. (3+)

　　在很大程度上，由于女權(quán)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)(feminist movement)的緣故，史學(xué)家近年來匯聚了大量的注意力，來更為準(zhǔn)確地確定婦女在各個(gè)歷史時(shí)期的地位。 Focus A on B;

　　難句類型：倒裝

　　解釋：focus A on B指把A集中于B，本句中介詞on的賓語determining/more accurately the status of women invarious periods中有一個(gè)小倒裝，正常語序應(yīng)該是determining the status of women in various periods more accurately。

　　意群訓(xùn)練：In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods.
