托福閱讀長難句解析 Cleisthenes’ principal contribution to the creation of democracy at Athens was to complete the long process of weakening family and clan structures, especially among the aristocrats, and to set in their place locality-based corporations called demes, which became the point of entry for all civic and most religious life in Athens.
難句類型:
插入+并列+從句

解釋:
1 主語修飾部分極多,容易疏忽核心詞為contribution.
2 表語從句后 to complete…容易讀丟。The process of.. 中weakening的賓語包括family和clan structures.
3 插入句“especially among the aristocrats”修飾“family and clan structures”
4 第二個and并列關(guān)系,是to complete… and to set…
5 后置定語 called domes 修飾 corporations.
6 which..從句修飾domes.
意群練習(xí):
