高中英語覆蓋了全部的英語句式結構，這其中有簡單句、并列句、復合句等結構句式，也有倒裝句、強調句和省略句等特殊句式。在平時的閱讀和練習時，我們讀到、練到了許多相對比較容易辨別的“單式”結構，如：
The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that it brings parents and children closer together.
這是一個名詞從句，其語句結構是：
The…idea… is that it brings parents
主語 系動詞
and children…together
名詞從句做表語
再如：
Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others, , of course , made the others envy him.
A. who B. that C. what D. which
答案為D。which引導非限定定語從句，代指前面說的事情。
但我們還讀到和練到了將多種句式疊加在一起的很多句子，這些句子出現(xiàn)了較難辨別的“復式”結構，同學們會感到句子很復雜，有時候不知道句子在說什么。由于不能很快捕捉出句子結構信息，導致在閱讀理解和答題時不知所措，如：
Decision thinking is not unlike poker — it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.
不到30個詞的一個句子，涵蓋了前面的一個簡單句和后面的復合句(名詞從句做賓語)，而且是句子套從句，從句里又套從句。
又如：
The place ___ the bridge is supposed to be built should be____the cross-river traffic is the heaviest.
A. which; where
B. at which; which
C. at which; where
D. which; in which
答案為C。整個句子結構為：
The place (+定語從句)should be+名詞從句。
第一個空為at which引導定語從句，修飾the place，第二個空為where引導名詞從句做表語。
在閱讀和單項選擇中，快速辨別句子結構，分解出疊加進去的不同的句式，要首先具備最基礎的簡單句和句子成分的知識；在此基礎上，將復合句結構對應到句子中，其中定語從句是修飾語，相當于形容詞；名詞從句是句子成分，相當于某一個名詞做成分；狀語從句主要是要學會辨別從屬連詞。對于特殊句式，如倒裝句、強調句和省略句等，要熟悉其結構和判斷方法。如果做到上面的要求，那么，分解復雜句也就易如反掌了。
下面分析幾個典型的題目，從中可以掌握分解復雜句子的方法。
例1 Great changes have taken place in that school. It is no longer ______ it was 20 years ago, _____ it was so poorly equipped.
A. what; when B. that; which
C. what; which D. which; that
答案為A。第一個空為what連接的名詞從句做表語，“學校再也不是二十年前的樣子了”；第二個空為when引導非限定定語從句，指代“二十年前”。
例2 I just wonder ____ that makes him so excited.
A. why it does B. what he does
C. how it is D. what it is
答案為D?？吹筋}干和題項中的“it is…that…”，可以在試選擇時，先考慮本句是否疊加了強調句結構。去掉“it is…that…”后，題目就變成了：
I just wonder ____ makes him so excited.
這樣就一目了然看到了應當選擇“what”，引導名詞從句做賓語。
例3 It was only on the way back home that _____ he was cheated by the girl.
A.he realized B.did he realize
C.he was realizing D.realized he
答案為A。題干中出現(xiàn)的“it is…that…”，說明有一個強調句；如果不是疊加在強調句中，以only on the way back home置于句首，應當使用倒裝結構，即：
Only on the way back home did he realize he was cheated by the girl.
但由于“did he realize he was cheated by the girl.”這部分在強調句that之后，屬于從句的位置，因此，不能使用疑問語序，故改為陳述結構，選擇A。
例4 ——Where did you get to know her?
——It was on the farm _________ we worked.
A.that B.there
C.which D.where
答案為D。本題極易誤選為A。本題中it不是強調結構沒有任何意義的“it”，而是代指地點的“it”，它有含義?！澳阍谀睦镎J識她的？”“是在(我們工作的)農(nóng)場?！眞here為關系副詞引導定語從句，修飾farm。
高考試題常常采用強調句和倒裝以及復合句的句式疊加來設空置項，考查同學們的句式結構能力，在平時的訓練中，要加強語句特別是復雜句式的辨別和分析，從而在考試時回答此類問題能夠得心應手。
