Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a guard of honor of six pretty girls, Jimmy set off down the main street of the city, riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.

从上面可以看到,分解出的几个句子其结构是相当基础的,包含的都是基础语法。所以要想很好地分析理解长难句,高中时必须打下良好的基础语法功底。如果考生对于长难句分析感到困难的话,跨考教育英语教研室老师建议同学们先买一本语法书恶补一下基础语法。语法学习是比较枯燥无味的,一味死记硬背语法规则往往事倍功半,而且非常容易遗忘。在这里给大家分享一位跨考教育魔鬼集训营优秀学员经验,在掌握一个语法的时候,并不去记忆这个语法的规则,而是“背诵”这个语法的例句,然后反复阅读这些例句,以至于在大脑皮层中形成这种语法的感觉。这种感觉能让你以直觉判断出哪些句子的语法是正确的,哪些是错误的,这个过程完全是一种感觉,一种直觉。
