2009年考研英语阅读理解精读100篇（高分版）TEXT 11

难句突破：

(1)    This week Louis Gallois, the boss of EADS, the Franco-German aerospaceconsortium that owns Airbus, added substance to warnings a week earlier by the planemaker's chief executive, Tom Enders, that the dollar's decline was "life-threatening" for the firm.

[主体句式] Louis Gallois added substance to warnings.

[结构分析] 这是一个复合句，the boss of EADS是主语的同位语，而the Franco-German aerospaceconsortium that owns Airbus又是EADS的同位语；最后that引导的定语从句是用来修饰前面的warnings。

[句子译文]法德航天财团EADS（空中客车属于该财团）老总路易斯·Galloi本周强调了一周前飞机制造首席执行官汤姆·恩德斯的警告，恩德斯指出美元的贬值对于公司有生命威胁。

(2)    A few weeks ago Mike Bair, the executive responsible for the 787 programme, who was recently moved sideways after mounting production delays, launched a withering attack on some of the companies recruited to build the plane.

[主体句式] Mike Bair launched ...

[结构分析] 这是一个复合句，短语the executive...是主语的同位语，后面who 引导的定语从句是修饰主语的。

[句子译文]负责787项目的主管迈克·Bair因为延误了生产近期被移往别处了，几周前他对一些已被征募造该飞机的公司进行了毁灭性的攻击。
