Question

With the conclusion of a burst of activity, the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids, leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted, via oxidative metabolism, by the liver into glucose, which is then sent (in part) back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis.  标志：   /With the conclusion of a burst of activity/, the lactic acid level is high   /in the body fluids/, /leav   ing the large animal   /vulnerable to attack/ /until the acid is reconverted   , /via oxidative met abolism/, /by the liver   / into glucose,［which   is then sent (in part) back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis］/ /.  解释：   本句中的修饰成分极多，以分词修饰和介词结构修饰为主，作各种类型的状语。前面的状语和主句还好理解，从leaving开始句子变难：leaving引导的直到句末的结构来做整个句子的状语；分词中又包含了三个状语，其中的两个（/via oxidative metabolism/, /by the liver   /）又起到了插入语的作用，把be converted into   拆成两段。本句的另外一个特征是其中充斥着专有名词。其中的body fluids、oxidative和resynthesis通过字面的意思或者根据词头、词根，我们是应该猜出其意思的；lactic acid、metabolism和muscle这三个词在生物类文章中极其常用，大家应该背下来；而glycogen这种东西则没办法，只能作一个首字母提炼。但是请记住，GRE和GMAT文章中只要出现了这种专有名词，出题者是一定会在文章中把它在文章中所用到的词义解释清楚的，所以读者遇到文章中做了解释的专有名词，应该力求把解释看懂。本句验证了笔者的一个观点，那就是：阅读现场与其分析句子的语法，倒不如光看句子的意思来得更方便。不信看一看本句的标志，令人眼花缭乱。 4 gre
