1. 真题例句（Text 1）： “The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible-sounding but largely untested theory called the ‘two-step flow of communication’.”
踩坑点： 句子主干是 “importance derives from a theory”，中间 “plausible-sounding but largely untested” 和 “called...” 全是定语，修饰 “theory”。一看到长定语就容易晕，找不到主谓宾。
破解口诀： 先找主谓宾，定语往后扔。抓住 “重要性源于理论”，其他都是修饰这个“理论”的。
2. 真题例句（Text 1）： “They found that the principal requirement for what is called ‘global cascades’—the widespread propagation of influence through networks—is the presence not of a few influentials but, rather, of a critical mass of easily influenced people.”
踩坑点： 破折号插入解释，句子被割裂。“the presence not of A but of B” 结构，核心是 “the presence of B (a critical mass of people)”。
破解口诀： 破折号里外先别看，抓住 “requirement is the presence of...”，注意 “not...but...” 转折重心在 “but” 后面。
3. 真题例句（Text 2）： “Now the nation’s top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago.”
踩坑点： “scale back on” 是谓语动词组，后面 “which” 引导非限定定语从句修饰前面整件事。
破解口诀： “appears ready to do” 是主干，逗号后 “which” 指代前面整个观点，从句主谓 (“which have been”) 要认清。
4. 真题例句（Text 2）： “The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should ‘reconsider’ its State Street Bank ruling.”
踩坑点： “stating that... and that...” 两个并列宾语从句。第二个从句里套了定语从句 (“it wants to evaluate”) 和表语从句 (“whether it should...”)。
破解口诀： 看到 “A and B” 并列结构，先拆开。第二个 “that” 从句里，找到主干 “one issue is whether...”， “it wants to evaluate” 是修饰 “issue” 的小尾巴。
5. 真题例句（Text 3）： “The theory also seems to explain the sudden popularity of certain looks, brands, or neighborhoods. In addition to the fact that...”
踩坑点： 这是两句话，但经常被误读成一句。第二句 “In addition to” 开头是个介词短语，必须接名词性成分，后面跟了 “the fact that...” 同位语从句。
破解口诀： 句号是铁律，分开看清晰。“In addition to” 后面必跟名词（或动名词），这里跟的是 “the fact”。
6. 真题例句（Text 4）： “European ministers instantly demanded that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) do likewise.”
踩坑点： “demand that...do...” 是虚拟语气，省略 “should”，谓语用动词原形 “do”。
高频考点： 表示“要求、建议、命令”的词（demand, suggest, order等）接宾语从句，常用 “(should) + do” 虚拟语气。
7. 真题例句（Text 4）： “And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.”
踩坑点： “which” 引导定语从句修饰 “banks”，从句谓语是 “will not sell... yet are reluctant to buy...” 的并列结构。
破解口诀： 定语从句再长，也是修饰前面的名词（banks）。抓住从句里的并列动词 “不卖” 和 “不愿买”。
8. 真题例句（新题型）： “Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade.”
踩坑点： “mandates that” 后接宾语从句，从句主干是 “homework may no longer count...”，“with the exception of...” 是插入的状语。
破解口诀： 先忽略插入语，抓住 “政策规定作业不再占超过10%”。插入语通常用逗号隔开，临时拿掉不影响主句完整。
9. 真题例句（翻译）： 原文略，举一反三。
踩坑点： 考研翻译长句核心是拆分重组。定语从句、插入语、分词结构通通拆成短句，按中文习惯（时间顺序，先因后果）重新组装。
答题技巧： 拆！拆！拆！英文长句变中文短句，用逗号或短句连接。被动语态多转主动。
10. 真题例句（完形/阅读常见）： “It turns out that...”
高频考点： “It turns out that...” 固定句式，意思是“结果表明/事实证明...”。“It” 是形式主语，语是 “that” 从句。直接翻译成 “事实证明...” 即可，别在 “It” 上纠结。
