雅思阅读中有很多学生在阅读时由于原文的句子较长，虽然句子中的词基本都认识，但是往往整个句子的意思理解不了，或理解的错误，究其原因主要是由于没有掌握将长句读短的技巧，其阅读技巧如下：
一、长句如何化繁为简：
1. 标点：逗号、分号、冒号、括号等；
2. 连词：and, but, or, rather than…
3. 从句标志： that, which, where, when…
4. 并列介词结构： from…, from…to…, assign… to…
5. 固定短语： so…that, such that…
e.g. 1. How many skills are required in the society?
What is important is that the child develops the range of social skills -- being able to express a preference, knowing how to take turns, being able to stand up for themselves, being able to get into a group, being able to make decisions, being able to share, having confidence to go off on their own. These all require careful nurturing.
2. How many possible reasons are there accounting for intellectual disabilities?
For the majority of intellectual disabilities, there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented. They include: brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen-prolonged labour during childbirth; brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella, drug or diet-related problems; damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis or accidents; hereditary defects in the genes; abnormal chromosome count resulting in, for example, Down Syndrome.
二．确定句子的主干
如何确定句子的主谓宾（SVO）---排除定状补成分：
1. 舍弃逗号、破折号、括号之间的信息；
2. 舍弃介宾结构；
3. 舍弃从句结构；
4. 舍弃非谓语成分（视具体情况，因为非谓语成分也可充当主语和谓语）（-ing和-to do)
1. All dinosaurs, whether large or small, quadrupedal or bipedal, flee-footed or slow-moving, shared a common body plan.
2. However, assuming the build-up of greenhouse gases is responsible, and that the warming will continue, scientists – and inhabitants of low-lying coastal areas – would like to know the extent of future sea level rises.
3. Only Germany, with incentive to business to encourage the employment of older people, and France, with the introduction of legislation making it illegal to use age barriers in recruitment – or to make employees redundant because of their age – have done anything substantive(实在的） to combat age discrimination.
4. Recent work by oceanographers, using a new model which takes into account a number of subtle facets of the sea-including vast and complex ocean currents – suggests that the rise in the sea level may be less than some earlier estimates had predicted.
