2009年考研英语阅读理解精读100篇（高分版）TEXT 1

难句突破:

(1) They were fined a total of just over £116 million as part of aleniency deal offered by the watchdog to companies that owned up quickly to anti-competitive behaviour.

主体句式: They were fined a total of just over £116 million as part of aleniency deal...

结构分析: 这是一个复合句，其成分比较复杂。offered by the watchdog to companies作为一个分词短语来修饰前面的deal, 而后面that引导的定语从句又修饰companies.

句子译文:他们总共的罚金只有一亿一千六百万多点，这是监察部门对积极坦白反竞争行为公司的一种宽大处理。

(2) The National Consumer Council gave warning that the admissions woulddent consumer confidence in leading high street names and that people would become sceptical of their claims.

[主体句式] The National Consumer Council gave warning...

[结构分析] 这是一个复合句，句子的宾语warning 带着两个同位语从句，以that 引导；第一个同位语从句中，confidence in 后面是一个分词短语作介词的宾语。

[句子译文]全国消费者委员会警告说长此以往会损害消费者的信心，人们也会逐渐怀疑委员会的声明。
