二、考研英语每日一句长难句

昨天留的家庭作业:

Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals,are her increase “opportunities” for stress.

【核心词汇】

add [æd] v.增加,添加 

dose [dəʊs] n.剂量

stress [stres] n.压力;强调

【考点透析】倒装句

【结构分析】

Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals(介词短语置于句前作表语)∥are (系动词)∥(her increase “opportunities” for stress)(主语).

【具体分析】

本句是一个倒装句,其还原形式应该是 Her increased“ opportunities” for stress are adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals。

【技巧点拨】

在处理倒装句的问题时,可以先将其还原成正常语序。

【参考译文】

妇女增多的压力“机会”正在使女性因压力产生的化学物质增加。

今天的家庭作业: 

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．
