陈琦-戈弋GRE长难句300例unit-7

1.However, none of these high-technology methods are of any valueif the sites to which they are applied have never mineralized, and to maximize the chances of discovery the explorer must therefore pay particular attention to selecting the ground formations most likely to be mineralized.但是，如果这些方法所应用的地点没有被矿化的话那么这些高科技方法就毫无价值。

因此，探索者为了最大化发现矿产的机会，必须对选择最有可能被矿化的地质构成给予特别的关注。

2.Rather，the coincidence of increased United Statesgovernment antidiscrimination pressure in the mid-1960s with the acceleration in the rate of black economic progress beginning in 1965 argues against the community theorists’view.20世纪60年代中期，美国政府反对歧视的压力不断升高，与此同时，从1965年开始，黑人经济状况改善的步伐越来越快。

确切的说，这两个事件的同时发生违背了连续性理论家的观点。

3.Although at first the colonies held little positiveattraction for the English—they would rather have stayed home—by the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity.虽然起初对于英国人来说没有什么正面的吸引力，他们宁愿呆在家里，但是到了18世纪的时候，越来越多的人移民到美国，因为他们将美国视为一片充满机会的土地。

4.Although surveys of medieval legislation, guildorganization, and terminology used to designate different medical practitioners have demonstrated that numerous medical specialties were recognized in Europe during the Middle Ages, most historians continue to equate the term “women medical practitioner”, wherever they encounter it in medieval records, with “midwife”.虽然关于中世纪的立法、行会组织和用于命名不同医术人员的术语做了许多调查，而且这些调查证明了中世纪欧洲的许多医学专家都被正式认可，但是大部分历史学家只要在中世纪文献中遇到“女性医护人员”这个术语时，还是会把这个术语等同于“接生婆”。

5.One might conclude that the older labor-intensive machinerystill operating in United States integrated plants is at fault for the poor performance of the United States industry, but this cannot explain why Japanese integrated producers, who produce a higher-quality product using less energy and labor, are also experiencing economic trouble.或许有人会总结道，老式的、密集劳动型的机制依旧在美国的大型工厂中运作，正是这些机制应该为美国工业不尽人意的表现负责，但是这并不能解释为什么即使日本的一体化生产商可以利用更少的资源与劳力生产出更高质量的产品，但他们也依旧处于经济困难的状态。

6.Moreover，the almost simultaneous abolition of Russianserfdom and United States slavery in the 1960s—a riveting coincidence that should have drawn more modern scholars toa comparative study of the two systems of servitude—hasfailed to arouse the interest of scholars.更为甚者，俄国农奴制与美国农奴制在19世纪60年代同时被废除。

这个巧合非常有意思，现代学者本应对这两个奴役体系进行比较研究，但是这一巧合并没有引起学者的兴趣。

7.Thomas V Carroll has proposed that the conclusions drawn byprevious researchers are attributable to their myopic focus on the premise that, unless right-to-work laws significantly reduce union membership within a state, they have no effect.Thomas V Carroll认为，先前研究者缺乏远见，认为除非各种禁止公会存在的法律大幅减少某个州的公会人数，否则这些法律无效。

在这种前提下，先前研究者得出了这些结论。

9.One argument against my contention asserts that, by nature,text books are culturally biased and one argument against my contention asserts that I am simply underestimating children’s ability to see through these biases.一个与我的观点相对立的观点认为教科书本质上都存在文化偏见，而且认为我低估了小孩看穿这些偏见的能力。

10.C ompeting for votes, parties seek to offer differentsections of the electorate what they most want; they do not ask what the majority thinks of an issue, but what policy commitments will sway the electoral decisions of particular groups.为了尽可能多的获得选票，政党尝试着给不同的选民许诺他们最想获得的东西；这些政党并不考虑大部分选民对某个议题的看法，而是考虑什么样的政策许诺能够改变某些特定群体的投票决定。

11.H e insisted that there could be no return to traditional,preindustrial; only by accepting wholeheartedly the political and technological revolutions of the nineteenth century could the architect establish the forms appropriate to a modern, urban society.他坚持认为不可能再回到传统的、前工业化时代的模式；只有全心全意的去接受19世纪的政治和科技革命，建筑师才能建立起适合现代都市社会的模式。

12.T his preference for exogamy, Gutman suggests, may havederived from West African rules governing marriage, which , though they differed from one tribal group to another, all involved some kind of prohibition against unions with close kin.Gutman认为，这种与外族通婚的偏好源自于西非地区在婚姻方面的规定，虽然这类规定在每一个部落都不尽相同，但是所有这些规定都禁止近亲结婚。

当这些差异与心理体验的诸多方面以可能的方式联系起来时，其重要性仍然微不足道。
