托福长难句分析：股东阶层代表
Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.
结构分析：这个句子的主干是…manipulation…increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class…。其中an element 是class 的同位语。representing irresponsible wealth 是现在分词，作定语修饰前面的element, detached from是过去分词作后置定语，相当于是省略了which is 的定语从句。and 连接两个detached from, 都修饰前面的wealth。
参考译文：这种大规模地、非个人性地对资本和企业进行操作，极大地增加了作为一个阶层的股东的数量和重要性，作为国民生活的一部分，股东阶层代表着不承担责任的财富与土地拥有者应尽义务的分离，而且同样与企业的责任管理分离。
托福长难句分析：房地产开发热潮
The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl.
(宾语从句what we now know as)
现在可以获得这些环绕几乎每个大城市边缘地区的土地，这一可能性激发了一场房地产开发的热潮并造成了我们现在称为城区无计划扩展的现象。
分句1：The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled
分句2：what we now know as urban sprawl
分句1嵌套分句 2，即分句1是主句，分句 2是宾语从句，主句结构经过精简应该是 The new accessibility of land sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled urban sprawl。
本句的理解困难还来自于抽象词fuel，它作为名词的含义广为人知，是能源、燃料，作为动词的时候的意思就可以引申为促使、造成。
