攻克考研英语长难句要有恒心和耐心，一点点的去积累去提升，正是寒假小长假复习阶段，大家不妨每天看一看练练，既能积累词汇，还能提升翻译阅读能力。下面来看今天的句子。
Among the most popular: paternity and kinshiptesting, which adopted
children can use to find theirbiological relatives and families can use to
trackdown kids put up for adoption. DNA testing is alsothe latest rage among
passionate genealogists-andsupports businesses that offer to search for
afamily's geographic roots. 译文：其中最受欢迎的是父子和血缘关系检测，被收养的孩子可以利用它找到自己的血亲，家庭成员可以用它来追踪到被收养的孩子。DNA检测最近也大受热心的族谱学家的追捧，并且给那些寻找家族地理根源的商业活动提供了支持。 点睛：第一句结构较为复杂，主干部分Among the most popular: paternity and kinship
testing省略了谓语动词，该部分在语句功能上相当于Among the most popular is paternity and
kinshiptesting.which引导的两个并列的定语从句adopted children can…和families can…修饰paternity
andkinship testing。第二句的主干为：DNA testing is the latest rage…and supports
businesses。
rage在句中意为“狂热，风行”，如：
My girlfriend has a rage for light music.
我女朋友对轻音乐有狂热爱好。
考点归纳：与rage相关的短语还有：
