并列句是四級閱讀理解中的主要句式。出題人會把幾個成分相同的并列句子，通過剔除多余成分從而使其合并為一個很長的句子。

　　解牛方法：破解這樣句子的關(guān)鍵是要弄清楚兩個句子的邏輯關(guān)系，補全成分后重新還原為幾個單獨的句子即可。例如：

　　To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines.

　　翻譯：對政府來說，更糟糕的是，不久得知的消息是，王妃的安哥拉之行得到過外事辦的批準(zhǔn)，并且她事實上非常了解安哥拉的形勢和英國政府關(guān)于地雷的政策。

　　相當(dāng)于拆分成三個句子：

　　To make matters worse for the government

　　It soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office.

　　It soon emerged that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines.
