长难句分析：
Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate
system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of
one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the other parts.

句意：大多数先辈的公民对贯穿自然界的复杂和微妙的系统知之甚少或一无所知，这意味着，就
像在活体中一样，一部分的不健康状况迟早会对其他所有部分有害。
句子主干：Citizens knew little or nothing about the system.公民对系统知之甚少。
其中 ①that引导的定语从句 runs all through nature，修饰限定前面的system。
② and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be

的that引导宾语从句。

【真题演练3】
The first hotels were very different from today’s hotels. They were small inns built along the road.
Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located
near railroad stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms.
Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take

their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space
for so many cars.
People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay

that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to
reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists’ problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These
new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of
HOTELS.
Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more

convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels. Best of all, there
was more than enough room for cars to park.
Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money

to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts (近郊) of cities.
Motels have become a big business in the United States.
