1. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found. (2010. 閱讀. Text 1)
【析句】復(fù)合句。主句children are robbed of these ancient freedoms,due to problems like...odd new perceptions about...這句中，due to作原因狀語(yǔ)，like這里是介詞。about后what is best for children是about的賓語(yǔ)從句，that is to say作插入語(yǔ)，最后有兩個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾things并由rather than連接。
2. Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition to academiamore attractive, according to Lee. (2010. 閱讀. Text 2)
【析句】主句的主干是the demand for scientists... is forcing universities to make..., 具體說(shuō)來(lái)，with a wealth of experience..作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。這個(gè)句子難理解的部分在前面，Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is more significant, 要注意the ladder不是生活中的“梯子”，在這里含有指代意義，尤其指代職場(chǎng)上職位、地位的高低。higher up the ladder在結(jié)構(gòu)上是形容詞短語(yǔ)作伴隨，并且還有where引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句修飾。
3. They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain. (2011. 閱讀. Text 1)
【析句】整句話有兩個(gè)分句組成，重點(diǎn)在后一分句。主干由and連接兩個(gè)句子組成，前句they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, 有兩點(diǎn)需要注意：一是whatever引導(dǎo)for的賓語(yǔ)從句，二是短語(yǔ)get one's hands on意為“得到某物”；后句and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades,抽象名詞prioritisaton作主語(yǔ),后面是meaning現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨，meaning后有賓語(yǔ)從句 a generation was brought up with food ，并且food后是that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句。
