在2010年12月四六级备考期间，读书人编辑整理了一些资料供大家参考：
长难句练习：
1.They were fined a total of just over ?116 million as part of a leniency deal offered by the watchdog to companies that owned up quickly to anti-competitive behaviour.
2.The National Consumer Council gave warning that the admissions would dent consumer confidence in leading high street names and that people would become sceptical of their claims.
3.But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide.
长难句解析：
1.主体句式:They were fined a total of just over ?116 million as part of a leniency deal…
结构分析: 这是一个复合句，其成分比较复杂。offered by the watchdog to companies作为一个分词短语来修饰前面的deal, 而后面that引导的定语从句又修饰companies。
句子译文:他们总共的罚金只有差不多一亿一千六百万，这是监察部门对积极坦白反竞争行为公司的一种宽大处理。
2.主体句式： The National Consumer Council gave warning…
结构分析： 这是一个复合句，句子的宾语warning 带着两个同位语从句，以that 引导;第一个同位语从句中，confidence in 后面是一个分词短语作介词的宾语。
句子译文：全国消费者委员会警告说长此以往会损害消费者的信心，人们也会逐渐怀疑委员会的声明。
3.主体句式：But then Sylvia Plath committed suicide.
结构分析：这是一个同位语带有定语从句的复合句。whom和who引导的两个定语从句修饰a young American poet，整体作为Sylvia Plath的同位语。
句子译文：但是在1963年，西尔维亚·普拉斯自杀了，这个美国年轻诗人与他第一次见面是在1956年的剑桥大学，而当年夏天又成为了他妻子。
附：经典写作佳句背诵：
No invention has received more praise and abuse than Internet.
没有一项发明像互联网一样同时受到如此多的赞扬和批评。
People seem to fail to take into account the fact that education does not end with graduation.
人们似乎忽视了教育不应该随着毕业而结束这一事实。
