考研英语，一直是考研小伙伴费时的重要科目，要掌握好考研英语，必须要长期的训练，今天小奇和大家来说说考研英语里面的一个长短句的案例。

原文：

It’s been 10 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — a highly controversial piece of legislation that represented a sweeping, bureaucratic intrusion into the healthcare industry at taxpayer expense, or an opportunity to expand healthcare coverage, curb insurance abuses, and pave the way to a new delivery model through experimentation— depending on your perspective. The ACA was sold as being built upon our existing healthcare delivery framework. One of the problems with this was that the framework itself was (and still is) fundamentally flawed.

句子解析：

第一句：

It’s been 10 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — a highly controversial piece of legislation（同位语） that represented a sweeping, bureaucratic intrusion into the healthcare industry at taxpayer expense(定语一）, or an opportunity to expand healthcare coverage, curb insurance abuses, and pave the way to a new delivery model through experimentation（定语二）— depending on your perspective.

主干：

It’s been 10 years

状语：

since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

同位语：

a highly controversial piece of legislation

并列定语1：

that represented a sweeping, bureaucratic intrusion into the healthcare industry at taxpayer expense

that=ACA

并列定语2:

that represented an opportunity (to expand )healthcare coverage, curbinsurance abuses, and pave the way to a new delivery model through experimentation.(三个动词不定式并列，后面两个省略了to）

that=ACA

状语：

depending on your perspective

这取决于你的角度。

参考译文：通过平价医疗法案已经十年。这项极具争议的立法或是代表了以纳税人为代价的对医保行业的全面官僚性侵扰，或是代表了一个扩大医保覆盖、遏制保险滥用并通过试验为新的交付模式铺平道路的机会。这取决于你的角度。

第二句：

The ACA was sold as being built upon our existing healthcare delivery framework.

参考译文：平价医疗法案的卖点是它建立在我们现有的医疗服务交付框架之上。

第三句：

One of the problems with this was that the framework itself was (and still is) fundamentally flawed.

参考译文：其中一个问题在于，这个框架本身（现在仍然）存在根本性缺陷。

思考题解析：

The Affordable Care Act has been promoted as______.

平价医疗法案作为____来推广的

 promoted as=sold as 

这样就对应第二句：

第一句说了，这取决于你的角度！

所以第一句的内容是在列举别人的观点。

不是卖点所在，答案只能来自第二句！

B. a reform based on existing structure（基于现有架构的改革）

B选项正确。

=built upon our existing healthcare delivery framework.

同义替换！

A.a bureaucratic intrusion of health care

定位错误，这是一些人的看法！

C.a way to experiment with big data

没有提到！

D.a chance to control insurance abuses

定位错误，这是一些人的看法！

是不是很厉害！点在看去！你必须尊重题干！

It’s Been 10 Years Since The ACA Passed – What’s Been The Impact

通过平价医疗法案已经十年—其影响如何

背景：美国的平价医疗法案（奥巴马医改方案）被国会通过已经十年有余。其宗旨是改革现行医疗体制，一方面降低总体医疗成本，另一方面通过扩展医保覆盖率来提升全民健康水平。福布斯的这篇文章认为，虽然平价医疗法案让个人和小企业能通过政府医疗保险市场为个人及员工购买医保，将数千万原本无法获得医保的公民纳入了医保范围，但这个只在原来框架上渐进性改革的法案从开始就走错了路。作者认为，原有的框架存在根本性缺陷，所以雪花般的监管规则只会让医生变得越来越像医保系统的员工，让医院成为保险系统的一部分。而兼并并非好事，许多机构都没能实现赢利。让人难以接受的真相是，规模并不是全能的保护伞，即使是慈善机构也需有严格的财务底线。
