接下来继续为同学们分享“如何简化托福长难句”的第二部分内容，备考咨询、素材敬请关注北京新航道官网。

　　这句话的原句本身就比较简单，而且两分句由whereas连接存在着的对比。先找出原句的逻辑：Whigs—areas fully integrated into market economy[ whereas表转折]Demo—areas: farming, isolated, languishing

　　再来看选项

　　A：Whigs—only in wealthiest parts[ because] Demo—other areas, 这个选项不仅滥用了词only,而且无中生有了不存在的因果关系，可以排除。

　　B：Whig and Demo influence areas were naturally split. 原文并没有提，排除。

　　C：Demo’s farming areas 愈发isolated←?(弱因果)Whig’s control.捏造了愈发isolated和因果关系，可以排除。

　　D：Demo—areas: poorer[while表转折]Whig—areas: market was fully operating.这个选项和原文的逻辑基本相同，只是把两个分句的位置变了，所以这个可以选~

　　再来看个TPO上的例子~(Cave art in Europe—TPO 4)

　　Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.

　　Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

　　A.Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that if they drew a human image in their cave art, it would cause death or injury.

　　B.Many contemporary people believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, so they, like Upper Paleolithic people, rarely depicted human figures in their cave art.

　　C.If Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, this belief might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.

　　D.Although many contemporary peoples believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, researchers cannot explain why Upper Paleolithic people rarely depicted human figures in their cave art.

　　这个句子读上去比上个例子稍微复杂一点，但是让我们来分析一下：

　　[Upper Paleolithic believed that (drawing could cause death/Injury)] || [if so] —explain (弱因果)—[ why figures rarely depicted]

　　是不是很清晰呢?然后来看一下各选项：

　　A.UP believed that (if they drew…, it would cause death/injury).在次审查时候，它的逻辑与选项的前半部分比较吻合，先过关

　　B. [contemporary people believed that (drawing cause death/injury)]—因果—they rarely depicted figures. 选项因为原文的定语like contemporary people而试图偷换主语，引出的结果自然也是不存在的~排除

　　C. [If UP believed that (drawing could cause death/injury)] || this explains — [why figures rarely depicted].选项的逻辑和原句很吻合，先过关

　　D. [Although contemporary people believe (drawing could cause death/injury)]—转折—[researchers can’t explain (why figures rarely depicted)].选项是一个转折关系复句，表达的逻辑也和原文有比较大的出入，排除

　　选项中有两个在轮剩下，那么我们再看一遍原句，看一下之前缩句有没有忽略重要的程度副词，原句的前半个分句有一个perhaps，所以A选项中表达的句意只是有可能，并不准确，于是可以肯定的排除。其实从另一个角度说，在遍审查的时候，A选项只表达了原句一半的意思，而遗漏了后面重要的半句，因此并不能成为原句的替换，本是可以排除的。但是我在这里还是稍微保守了一点，看完所有选项，再从优选择~谨慎一点比较好呢。

　　不管长句短句，我们的方法却是普遍使用滴~所以遇到长难句千万不要慌，用我们的步骤1234来排除小怪兽，你会发现句子简化题完全不可怕。
