2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（29）Gilbert ’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.”译文：吉尔伯特对新音乐的兴趣已经广为人知：古典音乐评论家亚历克斯·罗斯曾将他描述为一个能够把爱乐乐团变成“一个截然不同的、更加有活力的团体”的人。
分析：本句由两个分句构成，以冒号隔开。
第一个分句的主干是…interest …has been …noted ，运用了被动语态。
冒号后的部分是对前面主句的解释说明，该部分主干结构是Alex Ross …has described him..。
主语Alex Ross 后是对其进行解释说明的同位语，宾语him 后接宾语补足语as a man …，该宾语补足语中包含由who 引导的定语从句，用于修饰man 。

2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（23）As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on.译文：由于董事会迫于股东们的压力而严格审查公司的接任方案，那些未获得许可的主管们也可能会想辞职。
分析：本句的主干为…executives…may wish to move on，主语executives后是由who 引导的定语从句，对其进行说明。
谓语为“情态动词may+动词原形wish”，表示一种推测。
句首是由as引导的原因状语从句，该从句的主干结构为…boards scrutinize succession plans…，而in response to shareholder pressure为该从句的原因状语。
【词汇指南】shareholder [,ʃeə'həuldə](n.)股东(2007年-阅读4、2011年-阅读2)(share-股份，holder-持有人,所有人→股东,利益相关者)nod [nɔd](vt.)点(头);点头表示(中考词汇)(2011年-阅读2)(no=not-词根,知道，d=head-头→“知道”某件事后，“头部”做出的一个反应。
)1个扩展词：●noble ['nəubl](adj.)贵族的,高贵的;高尚的,宏伟的(n.)贵族(高考词汇)(2005年-阅读4)(no=nod-点头，ble=able-能够的,可以的→“点头”示意可以…的、有决定权的——即“贵族的,高贵的”，引申为“高尚的,宏伟的”。
考研英语核心词汇总结(2017英语二Text 1)
2017英语二Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon1 began with a dozen friends and has inspired2 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed3 by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy4” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches5. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run—up to 2012—but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved6. Obesity7 has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections8continue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation.” The success of Parkrun offers answers.Parkrun is not a race but a time trial9: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes10. The dual aim11 was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating12 for newcomers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd13in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally “grassroots”, concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in14providing common goods—making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave15tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision16 of all these activities in schools. But successive governments17 have presided over18selling green spaces, squeezing19money from local authorities20and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive21. Or at least not make them worse.21. According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has ________.[A] gained great popularity[B] created many jobs[C] strengthened community ties22[D] become an official festival22. The author believes that London’s Olympic “legacy” has failed to ________.[A] boost population growth23[B] promote sport participation24[C] improve the city’s image25[D] increase sport hours26 in schools23. Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it ________.[A] aims at discovering talents[B] focuses on mass competition[C] does not emphasize elitism[D] does not attract first-timers24. With regard to27 mass sport28, the author holds that governments should ________.[A] organize “grassroots” sports events[B] supervise29 local sports associations[C] increase funds for sports clubs[D] invest30 in public sports facilities3125. The author’s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is ________.[A] tolerant32[B] critical33[C] uncertain34[D] sympathetic35【干货笔记】1. phenomenon n. 现象（写作词汇）2. inspire v. 激励；鼓舞（= encourage）inspiration n. 激励；鼓舞（= encouragement）3. staff ed v. 雇用( staff的过去式和过去分词); 担任…的职员（或雇员）;为…配备工作人员;4. legacy n. 遗产legacy business 传统行业legacy product 传统产品，老字号产品5. level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches让全国的运动爱好者远离他们的沙发6. halved v. 平分; 减半7. obesity n. 肥胖, 过胖; 肥胖症8. retrospection n. 回顾9. trial n. 试验；试用；审判；审讯；磨难；努力trait n.特质; (人的个性的)特征，特性，特点10. elite athletes 精英运动员11. dual aim 双重目标12.【恐吓，威胁】①threat n. 威胁，恐吓；构成威胁的人（或事物）；凶兆，征兆；（律）恐吓，威胁②terrorists n. 恐怖分子；恐吓者③horrifies v. 惊吓;使厌恶;恐吓horrify的第三人称单数④intimidate v. 恐吓，威胁13. absurd adj. 荒谬的；荒唐的; 无理性的，杂乱无章的；荒诞主义的，荒诞的14. get involved in参与15. pave v. 铺设pave tennis and netball courts 铺网球场和投球场16. provision n. 供应, 提供; 准备; 预备; 规定, 条款; (pl.) 食品供给, 粮食; 供应品17. successive adj. 连续的, 相继的successive governments 历届政府18. preside over 主持19. squeeze v. 挤, 榨, 捏; 压榨, 压迫20. local authorities 地方当局21. thrive v. 茂盛；兴隆；蔓延；成功；致富；繁茂22. strengthen ed community ties 加强了社区联系23. boost population growth 促进人口增长24. promote sport participation 促进体育运动的参与25. improve the city’s image 改善城市形象26. increase sport hours 增加运动时间27. with regard to prep. 关于28. mass sport 群众体育29.【监视，监督，监管】①supervise v. 监督；管理；指导；审阅；审查supervision n. 监督, 管理；指导；督学职权②monitor n. 班长；监视器v. 监听，监督③oversee v. 监督；管理;偷看；偷窥；偶然看到;30. invest v. 投资31.【设备】equipment n. 设备instrument n. 乐器；设备devices n. 元器件；设备facility n. 设备；设施；场所；有利条件32. tolerant adj. 宽大的, 容忍的; 有耐药力的33. critical adj. 批判的; 至关重要的34. uncertain adj. 不确定的（=dubious adj. 不确定的; 可疑的）35. sympathetic adj. 同情的。

2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（7）长难句是考研英语阅读和翻译的难点，攻克它是必要条件，但同样也是一件不容易的事，对于长难句的理解和把握还需要一点点积累，多研究如何拆分，如何再组合理解，凯程网考研频道分享每一句长难句的解读翻译，取材自理念真题，希望大家能够在余下不多的时间里日积月累，逐步提升。
2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（7）Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’marketing, andmay help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.译文：展示其他营销者的产品信息除了可以带来收入，也能使该网站看起来公正客观，并使企业有机会得到宝贵信息，了解其他公司市场营销方式的吸引力，还有可能增加所有相关企业的用户流量。
分析:本句的难点是主干中并列的谓语和宾语多，容易在分析时出现混乱。
句首的介词短语Besides generating income是句子的状语，全句的主语为the presence of other marketers，后面接三个并列的谓语部分。
第一个谓语部分的动词为makes，宾语为the site，宾语补足语seem objective用于说明the site的特征，即“看起来公正客观”;第二个谓语部分的动词为gives，后面跟了双宾语结构，companies 是间接宾语，opportunities是直接宾语，动词不定式是直接宾语的后置定语，解释opportunities的内容。

2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（9）We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment.译文：我们将这种售出媒介定义为访问量巨大、足以吸引其他机构把内容或电子商务引擎放在上面的自有媒介。
分析：本句的主干为We define such sold media …。
宾语后面由as 引导的所有内容都是宾语补足语，用于说明such sold media 的性质和特征。
whose 引导的定语从句修饰先行词owned media 。
该定语从句中包含一个so …that …句型，that 引导的从句是该定语从句的结果状语，其中主语为other organizations ，谓语为place ，宾语为their content or e-commerce engines ，后面还跟了一个地点状语within that environment 。
【词汇指南】traffic ['træfik](n.)交通,通行;交通量(中考词汇)(2011年-阅读3)(traf=drift-漂流,漂泊，fic-词根,做 → 最早的“交通”方式就是驾船在水上做漂流——即“交通,通行”，引申出“交通量”。

1. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century.2. This modern faith in medicines is proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of the Health Services is mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise.3. This overlooked the fact that the poor nations now can borrow the technologies of more developed nations, some of which will be readily adaptable to their own environments, and improve their techniques of production very rapidly.4. Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated men are in this condition, and even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions.5. As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.6. We have enriched our lives by creating physical mobility through the motor-car, the jet aeroplane, and other means of mechanical transport; and we have added to our intellectual mobility by the telephone, radio, and television.7. He extends his own energies by the generation and transmission of power and his nervous system and his thinking and decision –making faculties through automation.8. On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.9. Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a great capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of other people and, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, the minds and feelings of children.10. This is the world out of which grows the hope, for the first time in history, of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear.11. This trend began during the Second World War, when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishments cannot generally be foreseen in detail.12. Webb argues that the colonial legislative assemblies represented the interests not of the common people but of the colonial upper classes, a coalition of merchants and nobility who favored self-rule and sought to elevate legislative authority at the expense of the executive.13. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant –not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.14. Proponents believe that may permanently change the baby's structure, functioning and metabolism, setting it up to be more vulnerable than normal to the development in adulthood of heart disease and related disorders such as high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.15. Moreover, I can feel strong emotions in response to objects of arts that are interpretations, rather than representations, of reality.16. New forms of thoughts as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance.17. Never mind something as complex as conversation: the most powerful computers struggle to reliably recognize the shape of an object, the most elementary of tasks for a ten-month-old kid.18. Few changes in the domestic American economy in the postwar period appear to me to be as significant and as inadequately recognized, particularly by national policy makers, as those changes—heavily influenced by technology—which increasingly bind the domestic economy to the rest of the world, and make it a more independent sub-element of a larger and more powerful economic system.19. While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.20. In a critique published this week in The Lancet medical journal, scientists conclude that the reported link between low birth weight and higher blood pressure later in life, an early cornerstone of the theory, may not be as strong as previously thought.21. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage.22. For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man.23. The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers.24. The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons.25. In 1993, there was an explosion in a population of rodents in southwestern United States that spread hantavirus syndrome, a lung infection, after a drought that killed off the rodents' predators was quickly followed by heavy rains that expanded the rats' food supply.26. She adds, “Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down(使不突出)their visibility.”27. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our epoch is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called "human nature."28. The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text.29. As surgeons watch a three-dimensional image of the surgery, they move instruments that are connected to a computer, which passes their movements to robotic instruments that perform the surgery.30. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to abandon their old way of life for a radically new survival strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease.。

The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad wouldbe in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter,healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run －up to 2012 －but the generalpopulation was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to "inspire a generation." The success of Parkrun offers answers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally "grassroots", concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providingcommon goods－making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pavetennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21.According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has .

It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family. Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents’faces to try to understand their world, and if those faces are blank and unresponsive—as they often are when absorbed in a device －i tcan be extremely disconcerting foe the children. Radesky cites the “still face experiment”devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s. In it, a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomes increasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’s attention. "Parents don't have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance and parents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child’s verbal or nonverbal expressions of an emotional need," says Radesky.On the other hand, Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids' use of screens are born out of an “oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting”with their children: “It’s based on a somewhat fantasized, very white, very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you’re failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.” Tronick believes that just because achild isn’t learning from the screen doesn’t mean there’s no value to it－particularly ifit gives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break from their child. Parents, he says, can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way. This can make them feel happier, which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.26.According to Jenny Radesky, digital products are designed to .

今天的句子：
特斯拉是Elon Musk的电动车，之前的两款车都是面对高端人群，这些人很在乎自己的环保形象，家里都不只有一部车，所以不会介意特斯拉充电不方便等很多问题。
但是限制特斯拉准备推出Model3 面向大众人群。
这样的客户对象那可就是指着这款车带给生活方便啊。
所以特斯拉将面对新的挑战。
It is unclear how well suited it will be to the task of designing
and churning out cars at far higher rates than now.特斯拉过高的估值一直都是让外界感到困惑的。
这里可能会有解释：
So, Tesla's ultimate aim may be more to create a platform for slick electric, autonomous cars that can also be built by others, in the way that various smartphone brands run on Google's Android operating system. In that case, how well the Model 3 sells may not be the main determinant of the firm's value.。
