1、高一英語閱讀理解專講專練含答案及解析八抓主干，理枝葉長難句增加，是近年高考閱讀理解試題不可忽視的現象之一。英語的長句可分為兩類：含有數量較多的定語或狀語的簡單句和含有數量較多的各種從句的并列句或復合句。閱讀長句的基本方法是抓主干，理枝葉。抓主干就是抓句子的主體部分，也就是主語和謂語，它們是傳達信息的主要載體；理枝葉就是分析句子的附加部分，不論它們有多長，有多復雜，它們都是輔助成分，我們只要明確它們與主體的關系就可以了。如： The moon is so far from the earth that even if huge trees were growing on the mountain

2、s, and elephants were walking about, we could not see them through the most powerful telescopes which have ever been invented. 這個長句的主干就是The moon is far from the earth，其他部分，如狀語從句、定語從句等，都是為突出主題服務的。 Passage A 閱讀理解 The Winter Olympics, which is also called the White Olympics, were first held as a separa
