考研英语阅读理解真题名师点评 第6篇

　　难句解析：

　　1. Nevertheless, the word“amateur”does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values。

　　【结构分析】 本句的主句是“the word‘amateur’does carry a connotation”，后面有一个“that”引导的同位语从句，解释“connotation”，而这个同位语从句中有两个并列谓语。

　　2. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom。

　　【结构分析】 本句的主干是“The trend was naturally most obvious… and can be illustrated…”。主语是“the trend”，两个谓语部分为“was obvious”和“can be illustrated”。前一个部分中“based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training”是过去分词做后置定语修饰“areas of science”。

　　3. 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。

　　【结构分析】 本句的主干结构是“The overall result has been to do sth。”。逗号后面只是一个名词性的短语，其关键词是“a result”，是前面句子主语的同位语，在其内部主要是一个“that”引导的定语从句，而定语从句中又有两个并列的状语“first by..., and then by.。.”。

　　4. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way。

　　【结构分析】 这是一个并列句，由“whereas”(而)连接两个分句，说明了两种情况，前一个分句的主干是“A process of differentiation has led to professional geologists”，而后面说“the amateurs have tended either to remain…or to come…”。
