Pearson has pieced together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.
在句子中标出加粗加黑的部分为该句的谓语动词,如果有考生将to work,to produce以及to take place 也视为谓语动词的话,这类考生是没有区分非谓语动词中的不定式结构;接下来,既然在句子中出现了三处谓语动词,那么这个句子中必然会出现2个从句或者小句。不难发现,gives前出现了that,且that在后面的句子中承担主语成分,且由that引导的that gives the latest dates 则作为一个定语来修饰前面的“a unique millennium technology calendar”;在can expect前面出现了when we这两个词,同时在when前面又出现了其指代的the latest dates具体时间,因此在这里又嵌套了由when引导的定语从句。
