48.This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom。

【考查分析】本题考点： 省略、介词短语、复杂表语

【答案解析】本句的主体结构为：This seems a justification and a rationalization。 本句的难点在于运用很多介词短语作后置定语，介词短语套介词短语，使得宾语非常复杂。“for neglect of those in need”修饰“justification”、“of exploration”、“of the superiority”“of the inferiority” 修饰rationalization。而“of those at the top”和“of those at the bottom”又分别修饰superiority和inferiority。

【参考译文】这种说法似乎为忽视需要帮助的人找到了借口，使剥削合理化，令上层人优越，底层人卑微。

【考查分析】本题考点：并列从句，定语从句。

【答案解析】本句主体结构是：circumstances seem to be designed to…., and if we feel that… then we are unlikely to… “环境好像是为…,而设计，如果我们感受到…,我们就不可能…”； “bring out” 是产生、使…显示出来；“wronged” 是“被冤枉，被委屈”的意思，“be (un)likely to do” (不) 可能做某事；

【参考译文】环境似乎旨在激发我们的最大潜能，如果我们总感觉“上天不公”，那么不太可能会自觉地努力脱离现状。

50.The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.

【考查分析】本题考点：主系表结构、分词短语的用法、连词where引导的状语从句。

【答案解析】本句主体结构为The upside is the possibilities，译为“正面意义在于可能性”。Contained in knowing that everything is up to us，是过去分词结构作后置定语。分号后面是一个有连词where引导的状语从句。Where 在这里是“在某种情况下(in what situation, to what point)的意思。

【参考译文】积极的一面是，既然万事都取决于我们，那么就有无限可能。以前，我们能够熟练应对种种局限；现在，我们把握着未来的可能。
