281.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to toprated schools and universities.

英語四級譯文:
一些日本的家長認為，如果孩子參加以大學為基礎的課程，將來就會有更多的機會上一流的中學和大學。

四級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是parents believe that。that引導的是believe的賓語從句，其中if引導的是條件狀語從句。名詞和動詞過去分詞構成的合成詞university-based為program的定語，top-rated為schools and universities的定語;eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities為介詞of的賓語。attend此處的意思是“參加”。

increase the chance of 的意思是“增加……的可能性、希望”。如:
This decline has increased the chance of banking crises.這次衰退增加了銀行危機爆發(fā)的可能性。

admit sb. to的意思是“接收某人(入學)，準許某人加入(組織)”。如:
Only women are admitted into the club.該俱樂部只接納女會員。

英語四級考點歸納:

Only a few people attend the funeral.只有少數(shù)人出席了葬禮。
