302. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.
如果沒有被分到尖子班,很少會有麥克阿瑟獎的獲得者--因創造性成就而獲此獎項的人--為他們大學前的學習生涯說好話。
六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是Few...fellows...had good things to say...。winners of...accomplishment是主語的同位語,for引導的介詞短語作定語修飾Award;about引導的介詞短語作后置定語修飾things;if引導一個條件狀語從句。
accomplishment意為“成就,成績”,該詞還可表示“完成”。如:
Time will be crucial to the accomplishment of these objectives.
要實現這些目標,時間是至關重要的。
precollegiate schooling意為“大學前的學習生涯”。place在句中作動詞,意為“安排,歸類”。如:
The office is placed under the economic department.
這個辦公室被劃歸經濟部門領導。
考點歸納:
掌握place作動詞時的更多用法,有利于閱讀理解。
表示“放置,安置,安排”。如:
Please place the CDs back onto that shelf.
請把這些CD放回架子上。
Daisy has been placed at the head of her department.
黛西被任命為她那個部門的負責人。
表示“使……處于某處境/環境”。如:
His girlfriend placed him in a very embarrassing position.
他的女朋友使他處于非常尷尬的境地。
表示“定名次,排名次”。如:
John will be responsible for placing the winners.
約翰將負責評定選手名次。
表示“歸類,劃分”。如:
The problem can be placed under the division of philosophy.
這一問題可納入哲學的范疇。
表示“提出問題以供參考”。如:
The debate about reform should be placed before a larger audience.
有關改革的問題應提出來讓更多的人來討論。
