2018考研英語復習正在進行中，***老師的每日一句每年都很受關注，在長難句解析拆分句子的方法也講解得十分到位，新文道考研官網匯總了***2018考研英語每日一句，下面是***每日一句第244句。

今天的題目：

(昨天的文章和題目不一致，大家再重新做一下。)

But as recently as in 1968, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons of supposedly superior intelligence, education, and moral character. Although the Supreme Court of the United States had prohibited intentional racial discrimination in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of Strauder v. West Virginia, the practice of selecting so called elite or blue ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws.

The practice of selecting so called elite jurors prior to 1968 showed .

[A] the inadequacy of antidiscrimination laws

[B] the prevalent discrimination against certain races

[C] the conflicting ideals in jury selection procedures

[D] the arrogance common among the Supreme Court judges

來，凱文接著開講!

今天，我們要回答的一個核心問題，如何尋找線索句(有資格和選項進行比對的句子。)仔細讀題干就顯得非常關鍵了。

The practice of selecting so called elite jurors prior to 1968 showed_________

題干中提取出來的定位詞就應該是：

1. prior to 1968 ()

2. selecting so called elite jurors

我們需要找到包含這兩個元素的句子。

返回原文找到：But as recently as in 1968，….直到1968年，… ( )

也就符合第一個元素，1968年前;

但是第一句中沒有包含第二個元素，加上第一句定了整段的時間，所以繼續看后面的句子;

第二句也沒有第二個元素，那就找第三句，第三句中找到了：the practice of selecting so called elite，這樣第三句就是線索句(有資格和選項進行比對的句子!)

既然：the practice of selecting so called elite or blue ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws. 這種方式可以繞開這種或者其他的反歧視法，這就說明反歧視法是有不足的，所以答案選擇A

[A] the inadequacy of antidiscrimination laws

當然很多同學其實是讀不懂第三句的。

那就只有靠排除法了。

[B] the prevalent discrimination against certain races

(對于某個種族盛行的歧視)

B選項的錯誤就在race,文章講的是對種族歧視的禁止，而不是盛行。

[C] the conflicting ideals in jury selection procedures

(陪審團員選擇過程中相沖突的理念。)

你是看到了第一句和這個選項有點關系。

But as recently as in 1968, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals

(直到1968年，陪審團的選擇過程都與這些民主理念相沖突。)

但等你翻譯完了以后你是不是覺得出題人在耍你了啊。

[D] the arrogance common among the Supreme Court judges

(最高法院法官中普遍存在的傲慢。)

這在原文中是沒有提及的。

明天的題目：

The system also failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid-20th century. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898, it was not until the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless they personally asked to have their names included on the jury list. This practice was justified by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative of women through the 1960s.

38. Even in the 1960s, women were seldom on the jury list in some states because .

[A] they were automatically banned by state laws

[B] they fell far short of the required qualifications

[C] they were supposed to perform domestic duties

[D] they tended to evade public engagement
