阅读是四级英语中重要的得分点和难点，对长难句的分析则决定了对阅读的彻底理解，也是学习语法，积累高级词汇、句型不可或缺的来源。以下新东方网为广大考生整理了一些英语四级阅读真题长难句解析，供广大考生参考。
1. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. (1998. 阅读. Text 1)
【译文】如果父母不够真心实意，不能言传身教，那么当孩子们逐渐长大，能够独立思考时，可能就会觉得困惑，感情上没有安全感，并且意识到某种程度上他们被骗了。
【析句】复合句。主干是and连接的两个句子their children may grow confused...insecure,and realize...,前句末when they grow old...themselves为时间状语从句。主干前If they are not sincere and dont not practise...为条件状语从句，practice后what they preach是宾语从句。
2. Nonsmokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. (1998. 阅读. Text 1)
【译文】 非吸烟者者所记得的最重要的信息比频繁吸烟者多19%以上，而实验前被禁止吸烟的吸烟者比实验前吸过一支香烟的参与者表现要好。
【析句】复合句。两个句子由and连接，前句为简单句，Nonsmokers remembered...information than active smokers，注意这里比较级的结构是数字+more of+名词;后句由主句和定语从句组成，主句deprived smokers bested those,定语从句为who had smoked a cigarette...。
3. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading. (1998. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】由于这些原因，要有效地阅读报纸，就意味着在最短时间内没有遗漏地选择你需要的内容，意味着当你纠正和应用这些阅读技巧时需要技巧和自我意识。
【析句】复合句。主句reading newspapers efficiently demands skill and self-awareness, 后接as引导时间状语从句。主句主语后，which引导的定语从句作插入语，which means getting..., 而定语从句中又包含其他从句，what you want from them作getting的宾语从句。
