修飾成分——①雙破折號(hào)之間內(nèi)容為grade inflation的同位語,對(duì)Grade inflation進(jìn)行解釋說明;②介詞短語of a consumer era作后置定語,修飾名詞product;③介詞短語in higher education作定語,修飾名詞短語 a consumer era;④最后一部分為in which引導(dǎo)的定語從句。
難點(diǎn)分析:
?、偻徽Zthe gradual increase in average GPAs(grade-point averages) over the past few decades,其中in average GPAs(grade-point averages) 為介詞短語作后置定語,修飾gradual increase; over the past few decades定語,修飾average GPAs。②定語從句 in which students are treated like customers to be pleased,屬于分隔結(jié)構(gòu),修飾a consumer era。其中,從句中的主干是students are treated,為主謂結(jié)構(gòu);like customers to be pleased為狀語。
