1. Most striking among the many asymmetries evident in an adult flatfish is eye placement： before maturity one eye migrates，so that in an adult flatfish both eyes are on the same side of the head. (3+)

　　在一條成年比目魚身上顯著存在的諸多不對稱(asymmetry)特征中，最為吸人注目的是眼睛的擺位：在成年之前，一只眼睛發(fā)生移動，因此在成年比目魚身上，兩只眼睛均位于頭部的同一側面。

　　難句類型：倒裝、省略

　　解釋：本句的倒裝本質上與我們早就的一種倒裝結構是一樣的，即形容詞放在句首時，主語和謂語倒裝。本句的主干的正常語序應該是：Eye placement is most striking;倒裝后成了Most striking is eye placement。但是這種倒裝在GRE考試中出現(xiàn)，又有了新的特色，被提到句首的Most striking被長長的狀語among the many asymmetries evident in an adult flatfish與后面的主語和表語分開，造成閱讀困難。

　　意群訓練：Most striking among the many asymmetries evident in an adult flatfish is eye placement： before maturity one eye migrates，so that in an adult flatfish both eyes are on the same side of the head.

　　2. A critique of Handlin’s interpretation of why legal slavery did not appear until the 1660’s suggests that assumptions about the relation between slavery and racial prejudice should be reexamined , and that explanations for the different treatment of Black slaves in North and South America should be expanded .(4)

　　一個對于H的關于為何法律上的奴隸制沒有在17世紀60年代以前出現(xiàn)的原因所作解釋的批評顯示，關于奴隸制和種族偏見之間的關系的假說應當重新檢查，而且顯示出，對于在北美和南美之間的對黑怒的不同處理的解釋應當被擴展。

　　難句類型：復雜修飾、省略

　　解釋：句子的主干清楚：A critique suggests that…, and suggests that…。但是因為句子的結構復雜、修飾成分多，再加上后面的and 之后的suggests被省略，所以句子的結構很難被讀出來的。

　　本句的suggest不再是暗示，而是顯示、說明的意思，其同義詞有point,indicate,imply。本句的兩個suggest之后的賓語從句都根據(jù)語法要求使用了虛擬語氣。
