考研英语长难句解析:

第25题:

【分析】复合句。本句的主干是 They would try todecide...。decide 后跟两个并列的宾语从句,分别由 what和 how much 引导。

【译文】它们会试图判定人类智力的用途,而不仅仅是人类有多少智慧。

第26题:

【分析】复合句。主句主干为 The idea is one of those hypotheses。 第一个 that 引导同位语从句补充说明 idea,第二个 that 引导定语从句修饰 hypotheses。

【译文】有一种观点认为,某些民族的智商可能要高于其他民族,这种观点是一种不敢冠之以名的假设。

【点拨】dare not speak its name 为一个固定结构,意为"不敢说出名"、"不敢冠之以名"、"无法说出口"。

第27题:

【分析】多重复合句。主句主干是 He helped popularizethe idea。that...infections 为 idea 的同位语从句,其中not previously...cause 作 diseases 的后置定语;which 引导的非限定性定语从句修饰 the idea;when引导时间状语从句,其中代词 it 也指代 the idea。

【译文】他曾经使一种观点广为人知,即某些以前被认为不是由细菌导致的疾病实际上也是传染病,这一观点在首次提出时就引起了很多争议。

【点拨】1) arouse (not little/much/a lot of)controversy 意为"引起(不少)争议"。 2) suggest 意为"提出"。

第28题:

【分析】多重复合句。主句主干为 he is publishing a paper。 which 引导定语从句修饰 paper;该从句中又包含 not only...but also...连接的并列句。在 not only分句中,that 引导宾语从句,作 suggest 的宾语;在 but 分句中 that 引导定语从句,修饰 process。

【译文】他携手其他两位科学家一起发表了一篇论文,其中不仅表明有一个人类族群比其他族群更聪明,而且还解释了导致这一结果的过程。

【点拨】bring about 意为"引起;带来"。
