英語四級閱讀關(guān)鍵句：281. Some Japanese parents believe t

281. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.

譯文

一些日本的家長認為，如果孩子參加以大學為基礎(chǔ)的課程，將來就會有更多的機會上一流的中學和大學。

點睛

本句的主干是parents believe that。that引導的是believe的賓語從句，其中if引導的是條件狀語從句。名詞和動詞過去分詞構(gòu)成的合成詞university-based為program的定語，top-rated為schools and universities的定語；eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities為介詞of的賓語。attend此處的意思是“參加”。

increase the chance of的意思是“增加……的可能性、希望”。如：

This decline has increased the chance of banking crises. 這次衰退增加了銀行危機爆發(fā)的可能性。

admit sb. to的意思是“接收某人（入學），準許某人加入（組織）”。如：

Only women are admitted into the club. 該俱樂部只接納女會員。

考點歸納

除表示“參加”外，attend還有以下常見含義：
