GRE閱讀：長句、難句解析

1. even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model,such as the critique developed in divided society,attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and socialmobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of puerto ricans as a colonial minority. (4+)

即使是對這一主流研究模型的激進(jìn)批評,諸如《分裂的社會》(divided society)一書中所提出的那種批判,亦將少數(shù)民族同化問題過分機(jī)構(gòu)地與經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會移動性的因素聯(lián)系起來,因此無從闡明波多黎各人作為一個殖民地少數(shù)民族的文化從屬關(guān)系。

難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語、省略、抽象詞

解釋：本句實(shí)際上是由and連接的兩個句子,閱讀的一個難度在于,and之后省略了they(此處指前面的主語the radical critiques,)而are thus able to 又與前面離得太遠(yuǎn),使讀者難以找到主語。

另外,句中的固定搭配attach a to b和illuminate c as d當(dāng)中的a、b、c,全部既長又抽象,理解起來較為困難。

意群訓(xùn)練：even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model,such as the critique developed in divided society,attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of puerto ricans as a colonial minority.

2、it is not known how rare this resemblance is,or whether it is most often seen in inclusions of silicates such as garnet,whose crystallography is generally somewhat similar to that of diamond; but when present,the resemblance is regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and inclusions are truly cogenetic. (4)

現(xiàn)在尚不知這種類似稀少到何種地步,也不知道是否它最常見于象石榴石一類的硅酸鹽內(nèi)含物中,而這類物質(zhì)的晶體結(jié)構(gòu)普遍地在某種程度上類似于金剛石的晶體結(jié)構(gòu)。但一旦存在,這種類似就被視作極有說服力的證據(jù),證明金剛石與內(nèi)含物確是同源的。

難句類型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語

解釋：本句的句子既長,專有名詞又多,從句層出不窮,故而難懂。在本句中出現(xiàn)的專有名詞中,除了silicates硅酸鹽這個單詞常常出現(xiàn)于理科文章中,需 要記憶之外,其他單詞閱讀現(xiàn)場簡單處理一番既可：inclusions可以猜出是被包含的物質(zhì);garnet作首字母提煉叫 g:crystallography只要能從詞頭推出這個單詞與晶體有關(guān)即可。

意群訓(xùn) 練：it is not known how rare this resemblance is,or whether it is most often seen in inclusions of silicates such as garnet,whose crystallography is generally somewhat similar to that of diamond; but when present,the resemblance is regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and inclusions are truly cogenetic.
