托福阅读长难句可以说是考试中的一个重大难关，想要克服它就需要积累足够的应对经验。考生需要在日常备考中多做一些长难句分析理解方面的训练才能有效提升应对能力。来看下面的具体分析。
托福阅读长难句实例
原句案例：
For example, some early societies ceased to consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them, nevertheless, they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness.
词汇讲解：
cease /siːs/ v. 停止，中止
well-being n. 幸福;(尤指) 健康
retain /rɪ'teɪn/ v. 保持或保留;
结构划分：
For example, some early societies ceased to consider certain rites (essential to their well-being) and abandoned them, nevertheless, they retained (as parts of their oral tradition) the myths (that had grown up around the rites) and admired them (for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness.)
深度分析：
修饰一：(essential to their well-being)，修饰rites，
中文：对于他们的幸福健康是必要
修饰二：(as parts of their oral tradition) ，介词短语，修饰myths，这里有一个短语retain…as，本来myths要放在retained之后，但是由于myths后面有从句，宾语较长，所以置后了，大家要注意这里语序的问题。
中文：作为它们口头传统的部分
修饰三：(that had grown up around therites) ，从句，修饰myths
中文：从仪式里发展出来的
修饰四：(for their artistic qualitiesrather than for their religious usefulness. ) ，介词短语，修饰them，这里有一个很重要短语rather than，表示而不是
中文：因为他们的艺术性而不是用途
主干：they retained the myths
参考翻译：
例如，一些早期社会不再认为某些仪式对于他们的幸福健康是必要的，便取消了那些仪式，但是，他们保留了那些从仪式里发展出来的神话作为口头传统的一部分，并因为他们的艺术性而不是用途而喜爱它们。
