☆注意：舉例有時可以換成短語，如介詞短語、不定式短語等等;還可以換成有兩個破折號引起的插入語成分。例如：

　　It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and jounals and to producing video materials on ASL and deaf culture—is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution.(2004.6)

　　時間過了37年。現在Stoloe致力于撰寫和編輯關于美國手語和聾啞人文化的書籍和雜志，以及制作相關的錄像材料。

　　5、并列句連用使得句子變長(主謂賓都可以并列)

　　并列句是四級閱讀理解中的主要句式。出題人會把幾個成分相同的并列句子，通過剔除多余成分從而使其合并為一個很長的句子。

　　解決方法：破解這樣句子的關鍵是要弄清楚兩個句子的邏輯關系，補全成分后重新還原為幾個單獨的句子即可。例如：

　　To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. (2004.6)

　　翻譯：對政府來說，更糟糕的是，不久得知的消息是，王妃的安哥拉之行得到過外事辦的批準，并且她事實上非常了解安哥拉的形勢和英國政府關于地雷的政策。

　　相當于拆分成三個句子：

　　(1) To make matters worse for the government

　　(2) It soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office.

　　(3) It soon emerged that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines.

　　6、多重復合句疊加

　　所謂多重復合句疊加，就是說一個長句子當中可能包含了好幾種句式(并列的定語從句、狀語從句、介詞短語等等)。

　　解決方法：分清主從句，理清句子邏輯關系至關重要。通常采用圖表法。例如：

　　(1)Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. (2006.1)
