雅思阅读文章中，对考生们来说比较有难度的问题就是长难句的问题，我们在平时碰到类似的长难句时应该如何解析呢？下面我们整理了一些实例，供大家参考：

1. The scent she carried in her samples and on her body was a message to the other bees that this was the one they were looking for.(剑4, General Training Test B section 3)

分析：本句的主句为“The scent was a message to the other bees”；“she carried in her samples and on her body”为定语从句，做The scent的定语，关系词在定语从句中做宾语，因此被省掉；“that this was the one they were looking for”为that引导的同位语从句，做a message的同位语；“they were looking for”为定语从句，做the one的定语，关系词在定语从句中做for的宾语，因此被省掉。

　　2. James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as 'fitted up like a counting house' with a long desk running down the middle at which the copying clerks would work standing up.(剑5, Test 1 passage 1)

分析：本句主句为“James Boswell described the garret as 'fitted up like a counting house'with a long desk.”；“his biographer”为James Boswell的同位语；“where Johnson worked”为定语从句，做the garret的定语，关系词为where；“running down the middle”为现在分词短语做定语，做a long desk的定语；“at which the copying clerks would work standing up”为定语从句，做long desk的定语，关系词为which。

3. The teacher-subject was told that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question, a shock was to be administered, beginning at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wrong answer. (剑5，Test 1 passage 2)

分析：本句的主句为“The teacher-subject was told that...”；“that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question, a shock was to be administered, beginning at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wrong answer”为that引导的宾语从句，做tell的宾语；在该宾语从句中“a shock was to be administered”为主句，而“whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question”为whenever引导的时间装语从句，在该宾语从句中做时间状语，“beginning at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wrong answer”为现在分词短语做状语，在该宾语从句中做伴随状语。

　　4. He was also helped by six assistants, two of whom died whilst the dictionary was still in preparation.(
