【真题例句】But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the new media. (2007-48)

【真题例句】The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. (2008完形)
【结构分析】本句的主干为一个主系表结构充当The idea…is…主语idea后跟一个that引导的同位语从句,说明其具体内容。句末hypotheses后的that引导定语从句that dare not speak its name,that在从句中作主语指代先行词hypotheses。

【真题例句】He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not previously thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested。(2008完形)
【结构分析】句首部分为本句的主干He helped popularize the idea,同位语从句that some diseases not previously thought to…说明idea的具体内容。从句中的主干为some diseases were actually infections,过去分词结构not previously thought to have a bacterial cause为后置定语,修饰diseases,逗号后为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰限定前面的idea,关系代词which在从句中作主语。在此定语从句中,又包含一个when引导的时间状语从句,代词it也指代前文的idea。

(二)名词性wh-从句
由wh-词引导,包括who, whom, whose, whoever, what, whatever, which, whichever等连接代词和where, when, how, why等连接副词。Wh-从句的语法功能除了和that从句一样外,还可充当介词宾语、宾语补语和间接宾语等。
1.Wh-引导主语从句
【真题例句】What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. (2000阅读5)
【结构分析】本句逗号前为既包含主语从句,又包含表语从句的主句。其中主语部分由what引导的名词性从句充当,表语部分由that引导的名词性从句充当。中间插入的部分as easily and openly as once they could使用了比较结构作状语,修饰前面的动词短语confess fully to their dreams。句末的lest引导了一个虚拟的从句,构成形式是should+do,should被省略。此从句中使用了被动语态be thought,并列的三个形容词pushing, acquisitive and vulgar作补语。
【参考译文】事实上,人们不能像从前那么轻松公开地坦承自己的梦想,以免被人看作是爱出风头、贪婪和庸俗。
【真题例句】What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents。(2000阅读5)
【结构分析】本句是一个主系表结构。what引导主语从句What is odd,在主语从句中充当主语,that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents是表语从句,注意从句中代词that指代ambition。
