考研英语阅读理解真题名师点评 第8篇

　　难句解析：

　　1. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want。

　　【结构分析】 本句主干是“this project has turned out to be…findings”，“mostly low-level”是“findings”的定语。“about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes”是介宾短语做定语。“combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want”是一个过去分词引导的伴随状语，其中“about what in the world those readers really want”是“puzzlement”的定语。

　　2. There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the“standard templates”of the newsroom seem alien to many readers。

　　【结构分析】 主句是“there+系表结构”。“which”引导一个非限定性定语从句，该词指代前面一句话。而在这个定语从句“which helps explain why the ‘standard templates’of the newsroom seem alien to many readers”中，又出现一个“why”引导的宾语从句。

　　3. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class。

　　【结构分析】 本句的主句中，“it”代表上文提到的“a troubled business”，即“备受困扰的新闻界”。“now focused narrowly on race and gender”是插入语，也是修饰“program”的定语。后面有两个并列谓语“would open up”和“(would)look for”。这里需要注意的就是一个意思上的问题，那就是“虽然报业也有多样性项目，招收不同的人当记者，但是这样的多样性仅仅局限于性别和种族，而报业需要多招收那些具有不同的人生观、教育以及来自于不同阶级的人”。
