2021年考研英语长难句每日一练（3月3日）

Consider how life-enhancing — and even life-saving — technologies have failed to be taken up. ‘Vaccine hesitancy’ is more a social phenomenon than a technical one, and the main cause of measles return. Solutions depend not on medical breakthroughs, but on insight from anthropologists, who have done much to understand people’s decisions about whether to vaccinate themselves and their children.

思考题：

According to the author, solutions of measles return depends on______.

A.the efforts of social science researchers

B.the novel medical achievements

C.the insight and belief of the public

D.the effects of vaccination.

<第一句：Consider（动词） how life-enhancing — and even life-saving — technologies have failed to be taken up（宾语从句）. 这是一个祈使句。

参考译文：想想那些能改善生活甚至挽救生命的技术是怎样不被采用的。

第二句：Vaccine hesitancy’ is more a social phenomenon than a technical one（表语并列成分1和2）, and the main cause of measles return（并列成分3）.more A than B；是A，而不是B=与其说是B，不如说是A）

参考译文：疫苗犹豫与其硕士一种技术现象，不如说更是一种社会现象，也是麻疹死灰复燃的主要原因。

第三句：;Solutions depend not on medical breakthroughs, （宾语1）but on insight from anthropologists（宾语2）, who have done much to understand people’s decisions about whether to vaccinate themselves and their children（定语从句）.

词汇：

1.Anthropologists 人类学家 (不认识这个词吧，这是一个大纲词汇，他们就是社会而科学研究者=Social science researchers)

2. vaccinate (动词：接种疫苗)名词形式=vaccination

3. insight 洞见

参考译文：解决方案不取决于医学突破，而是人类学家们的洞见，他们为理解人们是否给自己和孩子接种疫苗的决定做了许多工作。

所以A. the efforts of social science researchers(社会科学研究者的努力)

这是正确选项，而且大家体会一下effort这个单词，非常模糊，一看就具备正确选项的气质。

出题人非常喜欢用这个词来替换原文中具体的词汇。

比如：I read three books= I make the efforts.

B. the novel medical achievements

作者明确说了不靠医学突破，所以不对。

C. the insight and belief of the public

民众的洞见和信仰。

文章没有提及，所以不对。

D. the effects of vaccination.

作者不认为取决于医学的突破，所以不选这个和医学相关的选项。
