雅思阅读中经常会有些长难句，成为我们阅读过程中的障碍。今天小编给大家带来了雅思阅读训练之长句子专项分析，希望能帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
多年朗读英文造成的悲剧性后果就是很多学生不把看到的东西念出来，他就读不下去，看不懂文章，这样的阅读其实是在读音节，而其阅读的速度会大大减慢，正确的读法应是读意群(word group),所谓的意群就是指几个相邻的表示同类意思的词，而读意群就是说把这几个词用一眼看下来，可以使阅读速度成数倍的提高。这种能力的训练是帮你拿到雅思阅读6.5分以上的最重要的训练。
当然在短时间内拿到理想的分数，我们在课堂上所讲述的雅思5大题型的技巧是分不开的，但是如果只有技巧，只能帮助你在短时间内找到绝大多数题目的位置，可是毕竟某些能力的题目需要精读的技能，这就是从句式结构开始训练。
例句： The methods that a community devisesto perpetuate itself come into being to preserve aspects of the culture legacy that thatcommunity perceives as essential.
这样的句子，我们完全不用一个一个单词的来读，因为英语中有许多虚词，只有语法意义而无实际的意思;还有许多词组，只有几个词放在一起才有完整的意义，如上述的例句的前3个词the methods that,我们可以看出，the methods是名词，that 是一个连词，因为that 的后面是句子a community devises toperpetuate itself。
即that所引导的句子为定语从句，是修饰that methods,即什么样的methods，而come into being是谓语， come into being意思指的是：come into existence or 简单点 is made，to preserve是目的，即protect，aspects of the culture legacy,这是一个A OF B的名词短语，在此短语中，culture legacy,是重要的部分，而后面有两个that,前一个that不言而喻是连词，后一个that 是介词，指代thatcommunity,culture legacy是名词，后用that的句子在后做修饰，因此为定语。上句只须读为：
The methods come into being to preserve culture legacy.大致的意思都应能理解了，所以不论多复杂的句子都能把他的复杂性转为简单来阅读即可，即句子的主谓宾。
All this time，running from walkers，you forget what people do，have always done!
这么久以来， 我们一直逃避行尸，却忘了活人的丑恶，他们一向如此丑恶!
Y’all look to him and then you blame him when he’s not perfect.
你们依靠他还责怪他的不完美!
You don't get to do that, to come into somebody's life, make them care and then just check out.
你不能这样, 走进某人的生活, 让他在乎你后又一走了之.
If you don't have hope ，what's the point of living ?
I’d rather have you pissed off at me and alive , than liking me and dead!
我宁愿你活着恨我，也不想你死了爱我!
People believe what they want to believe .
We always think there's gonna be more time，then it runs out.
我们总以为还有很长的路要走，却不知不觉已到尽头。
If it feels easy ，don't do it ，don't let the world spoil you.
Life was always a test.
From The Economist print edition
How shops can exploit people’s herd mentality to increase sales
1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is， how ants， bees or any social animal， including humans， behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.
2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome， Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani， a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology， described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted： for instance， by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store， forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes， also of the Florida Institute of Technology， set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that， if a certain product is seen to be popular， shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.
3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani’s supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag， a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information， and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods， a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high， he is more likely to select it too.
4. Mr Usmani’s “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts. And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is， the one everyone else bought. The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world， mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work， and testing will get under way in the spring.
5. Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could， indeed， be boosted in this way. Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14，000 people downloaded previously unknown songs. The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded， they followed the crowd. When the songs were not ordered by rank， but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed， the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced. People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.
6. In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies. The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category， and the rankings are updated weekly. Icosystem， a company in Cambridge， Massachusetts， also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.
7. And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet. Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers. Even in the privacy of your home， you can still be part of the swarm.
