字號:

GRE,全稱Graduate Record Examination,中文名稱為美國研究生入學考試,適用于除法律與商業(yè)外的各專業(yè)。由美國教育考試服務處(Educational Testing Service,簡稱ETS)主辦,GRE是美國、加拿大的大學各類研究生院(除管理類學院,法學院)要求申請者所必須具備的一個考試成績,也是教授對申請者是否授予獎學金所依據(jù)的最重要的標準。 另有,Generic Routing Encapsulation(通用路由封裝)也簡稱GRE。
    71. Open acknowledgement of the existence of women’s oppression was too radical for the United Stated in the fifties, and Beauvoir’s conclusion , that change in women’s economic condition , though insufficient by itself , “remains the basic factor ” in improving women’s situation , was particularly unacceptable . (4+)
    公開對婦女壓迫的存在的承認對于50年代的美國而言有些過分激進,而且B的結論,即婦女經(jīng)濟狀況的變化,經(jīng)管它本身不是一個充分的因素,但是“仍然是提高婦女地位的根本因素”的觀點,尤其無法令人接受。
    難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
    解釋:本句是由and所連接的兩個分句,前一個分句的主語雖然有一些修飾成分,但整體而言還算好讀;后面的分句中的修飾成分就比較難讀;主語Beauvoir’s conclusion后面被加上了同位語從句that change in…,而且在從句的主語和謂語之間還加了一個插入語;我們好不容易把同位語從句中的成分補齊,后面又看到系表結構was particularly unacceptable的時候,想不起來主語是誰,不禁心中茫然;如果是沒有練習過難句的人,也只好黯然神傷。
    意群訓練:Open acknowledgement of the existence of women’s oppression was too radical for the United Stated in the fifties, and Beauvoir’s conclusion , that change in women’s economic condition , though insufficient by itself , “remains the basic factor ” in improving women’s situation , was particularly unacceptable .
    72. Other theorists propose that the Moon was ripped out of the Earth’s rockymantle by the Earth’s collision with another large celestial body after much of the Earth’s iron fell to itscore. (4)其他的理論家提出,在地球的大部分鐵沉入到地核之后,由于地球與另一個龐大的天體發(fā)生碰撞,月亮便從地球那石質(zhì)的地幔中撕裂開來而形成的。 Rip:撕開;撥去;在本文是撕開的意思。
    難句類型:復雜修飾
    解釋:這個句子雖然還算短,但結構并不簡單,句中共有三介詞結構作狀語。結構的復雜在本句中給讀者帶來了真正的閱讀困難:月亮、地球、大型天體之間的關系如何?三個事件之間的先后順序怎樣?另外的一個難點在于,在the Moon was ripped out of the Earth’s rocky mantle這段話中,be ripped out of something可以作兩種解釋。Rip既有撕開的意思,又有剝?nèi)サ囊馑?,而此處的be ripped out of something很被讀者理解成被剝奪走某物的意思。實際上,根據(jù)對上下文的理解,這里應該理解成從某物中撕裂出來的意思。

    73. However , recent scholarship has strongly suggested that those aspects of early New England culture that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan, such as the strong religious orientation and the communal impulse, were not even typical of New England as a whole, but were largely confined to the two colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut. (4)
    然而,進來的學術研究強烈的顯示那些看來最為明確的請教徒的早期新英格蘭文化的一些方面,比如強烈的宗教導向和團體意識,就整體而言卻不是新英格蘭的典型特征,而是在很大程度上只局限與馬薩諸賽和康涅狄格兩個州。
    難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
    解釋:賓語從句的主語those aspects后面跟著長長的修飾成分of early New England culture that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan。不但如此,主語和表語之間又被長長的插入語such as分開,而且表語也不是一個,而是were not,but were的結構,使得句子十分難讀。

    74. Thus,what in contrast to the Puritan colonies appears to Davis to be peculiarly Southern— acquisitiveness,a strong interest in politics and the law,anda tendency to cultivate metropolitancultural models—was not only more typically English than the culturalpatterns exhibited by Puritan Massachusetts and Connecticut,but also almost certainly characteristicof most other early modern Britishcolonies from Barbados north to RhodeIsland and New Hampshire.

    因此,那些與(北方)清教殖民地形成鮮明對比、并在戴維斯教授的心目中顯得具有特殊南方色彩的特征——占有欲、對政治和法律的濃厚興趣、以及培養(yǎng)大都市文化模式的傾向——不僅僅要比清教的馬薩諸塞州和康乃涅克州所展現(xiàn)出來的文化模式更具有典型的英國色彩,并且?guī)缀鹾翢o疑問地構成了絕大多數(shù)其它早期近代英國殖民地的特征,從巴巴多斯北至羅得島和新罕布什爾州。 感謝您閱讀《歷年GRE閱讀材料難句精選100句(八) 》一文,出國留學網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
