startle （使吃惊）即start+le，start开始，le拼音“了”，监考老师说：考试“开始了”，于是同学们“大吃一惊”。Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.诗歌应当既不寻常又不唐突，它深入人心不是以其本身，而是以其主题使心灵震动或惊奇。
feverishly （激动地，狂热地）←fever+ish+ly。
indefinitely /（不确定地）即in+de+fin+ite+ly，in-否定前缀，de-向下，fin词根“界限”，-ite形容词后缀，-ly副词后缀，“不能下定界限地”→不确定地。definite（明确的）←de+fin+ite。
restriction （限制，约束）即re+strict+ion，re-一再，strict单词“严厉的”，-ion名词后缀，“一再严厉的事”→约束；动词形式为restrict←re+strict。Read your job description but never be restricted by it.读工作任务条例但不可受其限制。
molecular （分子的）即mole+cul(e)+ar，mole单词“痣”，-cule后缀表示“小”，-ar形容词后缀，于是“像小痣一样的”→分子。分类记忆：molecule分子；atom原子；neutron中子；proton质子；nucleus原子核；ion离子。If the molecules in one drop of water could be converted into grains of sand, there would be enough sand to build a concrete highway, half a mile wide and one foot thick, from New York to San Francisco.假如一滴水里的分子可以变为沙粒，形成的沙子就足以建造一条半英里宽、一英尺厚的混凝土公路，从纽约直到旧金山。
legislation （立法；法规）看作leg+is+lat(e)+ion，leg词根“法律，is是，late迟的，-ion名词后缀，“法律是迟的”→旧法律难以适应新事物→所以要不断“立法”→“立法”之产物即“法规”。Inflation is the one form of taxation that can be imposed without legislation.通货膨胀就是那种无须立法便可实施的征税方式。
consensus （意见一致）即con+sens(e)+us，con-一起，sense感觉，-us名词后缀，“共同的感觉”→意见一致。consensus —①the security blanket of the insecure ②the negation of leadership 多数人的意见——①不安全的安全覆盖物②领导的对立面。
nuclear （核的，原子核的）即nuc+le+ar，nuc=nut坚果，-le后缀表示“小”，-ar形容词后缀，“像小坚果一样的”→原子核的。nucleus（核心，原子核）←nuc+le+us名词后缀，复述形式为nuclei /5nju:kliai/或nucleuses。Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.职业足球有如核战争，其中没有赢家，只有幸存者。
embryo （胚胎；胚胎的）即em+bryo，em-“使”，bryo词根“膨胀的”（联想bra），“正蓬勃生长的”→胚胎。
impose （v.强加；征税）即im+pose，im-加强前缀，pose词根“放”，“强制性地放”→强加→引申为：征税。When one has had to work so hard to get money, why should he impose on himself the further hardship of trying to save it?已经是为了赚钱而不得不如此辛苦地工作，为什么还要把极力省钱这种更苦的事强加给自己呢？
ethical（伦理的，合乎道德的）←eth+ical，eth词根“道德”，-ical后缀；ethics（伦理，伦理学）←eth+ics后缀表“学科”←研究道德的学问。ethics — aesthetics from within 伦理学——出自内心的美学。
explicitly （明晰地；坦率地）即ex+plic+it+ly，ex-(=out of)，plic词根“折叠”，-it形容词后缀，-ly副词后缀，“没有折叠地”→完全显露地→清楚地。参complicated（复杂的；难解的），2002年Text 2。

When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment — although no one had proposed to do so — and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. That group — the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) — has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.
　　NBAC will ask that Clinton's 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law. But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells — routine in molecular biology. The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.
　　In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning." Shapiro explained during the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.
　　NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo's life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.
　　NBAC members also indicated that they would appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still "up in the air."

1.
NBAC will ask that Clinton's 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.
▲这个句子的主语是NBAC，谓语ask后面是两个并列的宾语从句，从句都用了虚拟语气的谓语形式，即省略了should，谓语动词用原形be。第一个从句的主语是ban，这个词前后都是修饰成分；第二个从句还是用that引导，句式简单。要注意的是，如果把第二个从句补齐的话，应该是and possibly ask that it be made law。△找出ask的两个宾语从句是理解这个句子的关键，同时注意虚拟语气的运用，明白谓语动词为什么用be动词原形。
2.
The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.
▲这个简单句的宾语agreement跟了一个on引导的短语，说明的是agreement的内容，即a crucial question；question后面有一个whether引导的不定式短语，其中包含了一个宾语从句，从句的主语缺省，应该是legislation。在这个从句中有一个形式宾语it，真正的宾语是后面的for... to...结构。△whether引导的不定式短语是这个句子的关键，注意其中的宾语从句以及it作为形式宾语所替代的真正宾语
3.
In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning".
▲这个简单句的主干其实就是Shapiro suggested that从句。主语前面的部分是该句的状语，其中recommendations后面的过去分词结构是表明时间的修饰成分。主句的宾语从句中包含了一个consensus的同位语从句，解释的是consensus的内容，这个同位语从句中的it充当的是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning。△该句的主要信息集中的两个地方，一个是the panel... found... consensus...，另一个是对于consensus的解释，尤其是对其中形式主语的理解。
4.
Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos(the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo's life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.
▲在这个主从复合句中，前面是because引导的原因状语从句，这个从句的宾语是use，of短语说明了use的对象（federal funds），随后是两个并列的不定式短语，表明的是用途（create embryos；to knowingly endanger an embryo's life），其中括号里的内容是对embryos的解释，然后才是主句，注意介词on（关于）的用法。△这个句子的关键在于use后面的修饰成分，尤其是两个to不定式的意义，说明了禁止的内容。再者注意括号里对embryos的解释。

注意虚拟语气的使用：
Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment — although no one had proposed to do so — and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.
