1. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. (2002. 閱讀. Text 2)
【譯文】例如，如果你把手機放在口袋里，說話間對自己的動作毫無意識，那么你很有可能忘記，現(xiàn)在手機就在衣櫥里的上衣里。
【析句】復合句。主干由主句和if引導的條件狀語從句組成。主句you'll forget+賓語從句that the phone is in the jacket hanging in your wardrobe。而if條件狀語從句由兩個并列句子組成，if you put your mobile phone和don't pay attention to what you did,what you did作短語pay attention to的賓語從句，最后是because引導的原因狀語從句。

2. It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. (2002. 閱讀. Text 3)
【譯文】藍鯨的行跡很難跟蹤。這種最大的海洋生物由于商業(yè)捕鯨幾乎慘遭滅絕，如今被列為瀕危物種。
【析句】復合句。主句It is hard to track the blue whale, it是形式主語，真正的主語是不定式。隨后的內(nèi)容都是修飾成分，the ocean's largest creature是the blue whale的同位語，而which has almost been killed...and is now listed as...則是前句的非限制性定語從句。

3. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies. (2002. 閱讀. Text 3)
【譯文】隨著冷戰(zhàn)后海軍共享及部分公開其建立幾十年來用于跟蹤潛在敵方船只的全球水下監(jiān)聽網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)，跟蹤鯨魚僅僅是這一嶄新領域的一個例子，這一領域剛剛對民間科學家開放。
【析句】復合句。主句Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world,as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover...system為時間狀語從句，主句和從句各有分詞作定語，opening to civilian scientists修飾an exciting new world, bulit to...修飾underwater listening system。
