学习目标
还原否定倒装、强调结构、比较省略及嵌套从句,不改变逻辑范围。
在复杂句中保留推测、限制和条件,写出准确中文释义。
在本课主题中理解新增词块的语境用法,并把其中相关词项迁移到新的完整句子。
核心讲解
从四级向六级提高,不是把每个短词换成长词,而是增加信息密度、抽象关系与论证限制。本课程在这一层加入嵌套结构、谨慎论断和多个解释的比较;不声称真实考试每句必然比四级长。
Only after the team checked the records did it realise that the apparent increase reflected a change in reporting. Only+状语放句首,主句部分倒装did it realise;that从句仍为陈述语序。还原The team realised…only after…。“直到核对后才意识到”,不能漏only。
Not until the costs were included did the proposal appear less attractive. 还原The proposal did not appear less attractive until the costs were included。这里did后appear原形;不要写did appeared。倒装发生在主句,不在until从句。
What matters is not whether the tool is new, but whether it helps users complete a task. What引导主语从句,相当于the thing that matters;两个whether从句是并列的表语内容。not…but…否定“新不新是关键”,肯定“是否有助完成任务才关键”。
The policy, if applied without exceptions, could disadvantage people whose schedules are irregular. if applied=if it is applied;省略前提是主语可从policy恢复。could是可能,不是已证实。whose schedules说明“那些人的时间表”。
The second survey included fewer first-year students than the first did. did代included,比较的是两次survey包括的一年级学生人数,不是总学生人数。as much a question of access as of motivation表示同样涉及可达性与动机,并非二选一。
处理密集名词短语也要恢复关系:the effect of reduced staffing on evening access =减少人手对晚间可使用情况的影响。先找effect中心词,再分清of原因和on受影响对象。
例题解析
Had the researchers relied only on completed forms, they would have overlooked people who could not use the online system.
Had置首是不带if的过去反事实条件:If the researchers had relied…。主句would have overlooked表示本会漏掉。译:“研究者如果当时只依赖已填完的表格,就会忽略那些无法使用在线系统的人。”它不是在陈述“研究者确实只依赖表格”;条件形式告诉我们不要把假设误读为事实。

参考答案与解析
1
The pattern became clear only when the sample was enlarged. “只有在样本扩大后,模式才变得清楚。”不是样本扩大前就清楚。
2
“仍不清楚的是,试行结束后这种改善是否会持续。”whether为间接疑问;will last属于待确认内容,不是作者保证。
3
if it is updated regularly。it=the guide,含被动。整句“指南如果定期更新,可能多年保持实用”;不是说已定期更新。
4
“并非所有容易衡量的益处都是最重要的益处。”not all不同于none;定语从句限制benefits的范围。
5
If the team had consulted users, it would have noticed the barrier earlier. 过去反事实语境通常表示当时并未这样做;不能当成“已咨询并发现”。
6
表示这次修订提出的问题与解答的问题一样多,通常暗含仍有不少待解之处。as many…as…是数量比较,不是“没有回答任何问题”。
7
Syntactic analysis helps us recover the omitted verb and distinguish the claim from its restriction of scope. help后动词并列,distinguish A from B。6分:信息3,搭配2,句法1。
8
The counterfactual condition does not describe an event that actually happened; subsequent analysis must preserve this distinction. 分号连接,actually happened受否定describe辖制。6分:信息3,词块2,句法1。
