1. "So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns." (2004. 閱讀. Text 2)
【譯文】“因此,你所在的組織支持的是允許中產(chǎn)及上層階級擁有氫彈而窮人只能用手槍防身,毫無自保能力?!?br> 【析句】復(fù)合句。主句what your association is backing is a program,其中what your association is backing作主語從句,賓語a program后which would allow...to acquire a bomb作定語從句,最后while作并列連詞,表對比,這里指的是窮人與中產(chǎn)及上層階級的對比。

2. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's 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 government's policy regarding?landmines. (2004. 閱讀. Text 4)
【譯文】對政府來說更糟糕的是,公主的訪問已得到外交部的批準(zhǔn),而且事實(shí)上她對安哥拉的形式和英國政府關(guān)于地雷的政策了如指掌。
【析句】復(fù)合句。句首,to make matters worse for the goverment為不定時(shí)作結(jié)果狀語,主句it emerged that引導(dǎo)主語從句,it是形式主語。注意有兩個并列的that主語從句,第一個是that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign office, 第二個是that she was very well-informed about..., 都是簡單句。

3. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels. (2005. 閱讀. Text 1)
【譯文】1998年進(jìn)行的上個政府調(diào)查預(yù)測凍土下有三百萬到六百萬桶原油,但沒人確定凍土下埋藏原油的準(zhǔn)確數(shù)量。
【析句】復(fù)合句。主句no one knows how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, 其中,how much...earth是knows的賓語從句,buried beneath the frozen earth為過去分詞作定語修飾crude oil。主句后with the last goverment survey projecting output...是with伴隨結(jié)構(gòu),兩個逗號見conducted in 1998為過去分詞作定語插入語。
