necessary — the dangers of drug interactions, for example — and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn’t clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. ▲在這個(gè)主從復(fù)合句中,前一個(gè)分句是由while引導(dǎo)的讓步從句,這個(gè)從句由兩個(gè)并列句組成,中間用and連接。破折號(hào)之間的部分是舉例說明warnings的內(nèi)容,and后面的many省略了warnings,state與federal共用regulations。主句部分本身也是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句,主句用了一個(gè)形式主語(yǔ)it,真正的主語(yǔ)是that引導(dǎo)的從句,注意這個(gè)從句中有個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)protect... from...,后面是一個(gè)if引導(dǎo)的條件從句?!魇紫纫盐者@個(gè)句子的主旨,那就是主句中所闡明的warnings對(duì)manufacturers and sellers的保護(hù)作用還很不明朗。注意破折號(hào)之間的部分對(duì)warnings的解釋作用以及it作為形式主語(yǔ)的替代作用。②As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn’t have changed anything.▲在這個(gè)主從復(fù)合句中,前一個(gè)分句是由as引導(dǎo)的伴隨狀語(yǔ)從句,注意這里的claims是個(gè)名詞;主句的時(shí)態(tài)用的是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),表示的這種狀況正在開始。這個(gè)主句有一個(gè)較長(zhǎng)的狀語(yǔ)短語(yǔ),原因是cases后面跟了一個(gè)where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾cases,這個(gè)定語(yǔ)黑暗版考研英語(yǔ)歷年閱讀真題解析從句的主干是warning label not change anything,解釋的是什么樣的cases?!髦骶湟廊皇亲プ【渥哟笠獾年P(guān)鍵,該句所要表達(dá)的就是some courts beginning to side with defendants,再者要注意cases后面定語(yǔ)從句指出了哪類cases尤為如此。③In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet.▲這個(gè)句子的主干是... president... successfully fought a lawsuit...。句子的主語(yǔ)是Julie Nimmons,后面逗號(hào)之間的部分是她的職位,賓語(yǔ)部分a lawsuit有一個(gè)較長(zhǎng)的動(dòng)詞現(xiàn)在分詞involving所引導(dǎo)的短語(yǔ),involving的賓語(yǔ)是a football player,后面跟了一個(gè)who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句中有一個(gè)while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),還原成句子就是while he was wearing a Schutt helmet。找出其中的關(guān)鍵部分:... president of Schutt... successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player... paralyzed... while wearing a Schutt helmet。④At the same time, the American Law Institute — a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose remendations carry substantial weight — issued new guidelines for tort law stating that panies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones.▲這個(gè)看起來很長(zhǎng)的句子其實(shí)是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句,主干是... the...
