本文主要讲述人们现今认为,大多数历史学家对工业革命持批评态度是错误的。全文中在长难句方面,难度较低,几乎没有从句嵌套。下面就其中的典型例句进行分析:
【典型例句1】:They admitted that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the average man.
【例句解析】:句子主干是:They admitted that…。that引导宾语从句。of living介词短语作后置定语,修饰standard。
【难点点拨】:in the long run:长期/长远来看;average:普通,平均
【例句释义】:他们承认,从长远来看,工业化极大地提高了普通人的生活水平。
【典型例句2】:But they insisted that its immediate results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the bulk of the English population.
【例句解析】:句子主干是But they insisted that…。that引导宾语从句。during the period from 1750 to 1850作状语。
【难点点拨】:immediate:直接的;the bulk of:大多数…
【例句释义】:但是他们坚持认为它(工业化)所造成的直接后果给大多数英国民众带来了普遍的贫困和不幸。
【典型例句3】:By contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to 1750, when England was still a completely agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.
【例句解析】:句子主干是they saw…a period of…。when England was still a completely agricultural country作为插入语,when引导时间状语从句。of great abundance and prosperity介词短语作后置定语,修饰a period。
【难点点拨】:preceding:在前的,先前的;abundance:充裕,丰富;prosperity:繁荣
【例句释义】:通过对比,他们认为先前的一百年(1650-1750)是一段富足繁荣的历史时期,那时英国还基本算是农业国。
【典型例句4】:This view, however, is generally thought to be wrong.
【例句解析】:句子主干是This view…is…。however表转折,为插入语。is thought to…为被动语态。
【难点点拨】:generally:普遍地,一般地
【例句释义】:然而,人们现今普遍认为这种观点是错误的。
【典型例句5】:Specialists in history and economics, have shown two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was marked by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.
【例句解析】:句子主干是:Specialists…have shown two things…。in history and economics作状语。冒号后面补充说明two things。两个that引导定语从句,修饰two things。was marked by…为被动语态。
【难点点拨】:specialist:专家;worsen:恶化;populance:平民
【例句释义】:历史学和经济学专家已经证明了两点:第一,极端贫困是1650年至1750年这段时期的标志;第二,工业化肯定没有使大多数民众的生活状况恶化,或许,正是工业化才真正改善了大多数平民的生活状况。
总之,本篇完形填空难度较低,基本都为简单句,主要考查词语搭配,对语法尤其是长难句辨析考查较少。考生应在备考期间,打牢词汇基础,才能在词汇的基础上对语法灵活运用。
