1. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world. (2012年text1)

【题目考点】定语从句，宾语从句，方式状语，目的状语

【解析】句子主干为Tina Rosenberg contends that；这里的that出现在contends动词之后，故that引导宾语从句, 该宾语从句的主干是peer pressure can also be a positive force; 宾语从句后through what she calls the social cure为介词短语作方式状语，该方式状语中嵌套了一个由what引导的宾语从句：what she calls the social cure 作介词through的宾语；in which 引导定语从句，识别方式为：介词in which；该定语从句修饰前面的名词：the social cure, 该定语从句的主干是organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics，定语从句后to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world 是to do不定式做目的状语。

【重点词汇】contend声称；认为；peer pressure同行压力；the social cure 社会治疗；

【译文】但是，蒂娜·罗森伯格在她的新书《加入俱乐部》中认为，同辈压力也是一种积极的力量，通过她所说的社会治疗，相关组织和官方人员可以利用群体力量去帮助个人提高他们的生活，而且也有可能提高整个人类世界的生活。

2. The company, a major energy supplier in New England, provoked justified outrage in Vermont last week when it announced it was reneging on a long standing commitment to abide by the strict nuclear regulations.（2012年英语一text2）

【题目考点】同位语；定语从句；宾语从句省略；后置定语

【解析】句子主干为The company provoked justified outrage；中间的a major energy supplier in New England是the company 的同位语，同位语的作用是解释说明；随后的when引导的是定语从句，很多同学会存在误区认为只要是when引导的从句，就是时间状语从句，注意当出现n when；这里的n如果是和时间相关的n，那么n when结构中，when引导的是定语从句，在本句中出现的是last week when，那么when定语从句是在修饰last week, 该定语从句的主干是it announced, 主语it 代词，指代the company, 后面的it was reneging on a longstanding commitment to abide by the strict nuclear regulations其实是announced的宾语从句发生了省略从属连词的情况，宾语从句中to abide by the strict nuclear regulations不定式结构是commitment的后置定语。

【重点词汇】energy supplier 能源供应商；provoke 激起；outrage 义愤；announce声称，宣布；renege on 违背，食言；commitment承诺；abide遵守；regulations法规，规则；

【参考译文】作为新英格兰地区的主要能源提供商，该公司上周声称不准备履行遵守佛蒙特州严格的核能法规的长期承诺，激起了当地人们的义愤。
