不知不觉间2018的日历已经撕掉了一沓，小伙伴们是初识托福君呢，还是已经相看两厌，却迟迟不得分手呢？沈阳托福培训机构培顿教育看来，我们都有着分手不得，欲罢不能的苦衷，今天就让我们一起看一看怎么搞定托福阅读长难句这只让我们又（jiù）爱（zhǐ）又（yǒu）恨（hèn）的“拦路虎”吧!

下面我们先来看几个在托福阅读中出现的句子：

1. Possibly these objects merely block light behind them, but it is also possible that turtles are sensitive to the shape of suchobjects and process these shapes as signals that the sea is located in someother direction.   

2. And finally, because what they eat is oftenbioluminescent, many of the transparent deep-sea creatures have red or blackstomachs to hide the potentially flashing contents of ingested bioluminescentcreatures.

3. Since the pioneering work of W. H. Thorpe onchaffinches (a common European bird), many species have been studied, and ithas become clear both that learning plays an important role for all species andalso that there are constraints on what they are able to learn.

4. Similar reasoning suggested that one could estimatetotal elapsed geologic time by dividing the average thickness of sedimenttransported annually to the oceans into the total thickness of sedimentary rockthat had ever been deposited in the past.

小伙伴们看到这里，是不是已经心力交瘁了呢？

但是，没关系，沈阳托福培训机构培顿教育会告诉你一系列的小妙招。相信或多或少会对你有帮助。

首先，我们要学会“切割”长难句，然后再逐个击破。

而我们“切割点”就是连词（连接句子的连词）（不认识什么词是连词的同靴自行去蹲墙角吧。）所以第1个句子就可以切割为以下四个分句：

分句1:  Possiblythese objects merely block light behind them

分句2:  but it isalso possible

分句3:that turtles are sensitive to the shape of suchobjects and process these shapes as signals

分句4:that the sea is located in some other direction.   

接下来，小伙伴肯定会问了，我能切割也能理解各个分句，可是我怎么把它们放在一起理解呢？

所以就到了我们的第二个妙招，判断各个分句之间的关系。具体技巧就是，有连词的句子是从句，不带连词的句子是主句，从句为主句服务，具体扮演什么角色取决于它的位置。

以上面的4个分句为例，很容易判断出分句1和2是主句，其他2个是从句。

分句2和分句1之间的连词是but，所以是转折关系，而分句2和分句3其实是一个完整的句子，只要你熟悉it 做形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的句子，也就是it is …that 句式。

而分句4的that从句出现在分句3的名词signal后面，就是我们Z熟悉的定语从句啦。

所以整句话的理解就是：或许这些东西只是挡住了自己身后的光线，但海龟对于这些东西的形状是很敏感的，而且，海龟会把这些形状当做信号来判断出大海其实是在别的方向的。相信小伙伴们这个时候有了一定的收获，也会有稍许疑惑。感兴趣的话，可以自己练习剩下的3个句子。但不得不承认的是，语言本身有其灵活性和复杂性。我们很难有“万灵药”。如果你愿意，就来沈阳托福培训机构培顿教育和我们一起学习吧。这里还有不尽的妙招等你哦。
