攻克2009年12月英语六级语法必备练习(第二十期)

　　1.After all, a little healthy worrying is okay if it leads to constructive action-like having a doctor look at that weird spot on your back.(06.12阅读)

　　2.Data show that economic downturns tend to postpone marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead.(04.1阅读)

　　翻译句子

　　Taylor defined culture as a complex whole which includes beliefs,arts,morals,law,custom,and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.

　　1.【解析】该题考察条件状语从句的用法。If 引导条件状语从句，主句是a little the healthy worrying is okay。Like having a doctor look at that weird spot on your back是插入成分，表示举例说明建设性行为。

　　【句意】毕竟，存在一些对健康状况的担忧还是好的，如果他能够导致建设性行为的话——比如让医生检查你背上的那块奇怪的斑。

　　2.【解析】该题考察原因状语从句的用法。该句为双重复合句。That引导宾语从句，作show的宾语。宾语从句中有一个because引导的原因状语从句，它的主句是economic downturns tend to postpone marriage.

　　【句意】数据表明，经济的衰退往往会使人们推迟婚姻，因为双方都没有经济能力建立家庭或者担忧以后的困难险阻。

　　翻译句子：【妙译】泰勒把文化定义为包括信仰、艺术、道德、法律、习俗以及包括作为社会成员的个人获得的其他任何能力、习惯在内的一种综合体。

　　【点拨】本句主干为“Taylor defined culture as a complex whole”，其余部分为定语从句修饰“complex whole”。定语从句中，过去分词短语“acquired by man as a member of society”作定语修饰“capabilities and habits”
