不是没看到提问格式，而是因为我的问题是有些地方看不懂，想请教一下，不是题目来着，望大家给予解答

1.         Modern explorers are divided on the question of the utility of simple prospecting methods as a source of new discoveries of gold deposits.读不懂

a)         请问这里divided on是什么意思，

2.         the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women.请问这里的import into是引进的意思吗？

3.         job segregation by sex in the United States was perpetuated by those textile-mill owners who argued in favor of women’s employment in wage labor.这个perpetuate是什么意思？

4.         The new tax law allowed corporations to deduct the cost of the product donated plus half the difference between cost and fair market selling price, with the proviso that deductions cannot exceed twice cost.请问这句里面half the difference between cost and fair market selling price是不是和cost of the product并列？

5.         Describing the conditions prevailing before a given event in such a way that the contrast with those prevailing after the event appears more striking than it actually is.这句话是什么意思（这是一道题目的答案，但是不知道是什么意思？）

6.         Although this approach was preferable to victimizing other geographical areas by taking their jobs, it also had its shortcomings “到底有没有taking other areas’ jobs，还是没有呢?”理解起来很奇怪啊“这个方法的好处是通过占取别人的工作来牺牲其他一些地理区域，同时它也有很多缺点”be preferable to do sth是什么意思啊？

7.         og143题里面”renegade” theory，这里是不是引号表示否定的意思？

8.         the author presents appreciation of the attitude of many Black workers in the 1920’s toward unions.其中appreciation什么意思（是不是正确的评价地意思？）

9.         Perhaps the most brazen (marked by contemptuous boldness) case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt (rock salt: n.岩盐，石盐), used to de-ice roads. The bizarre aspect of the complaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for (cry for: v.吵着要, 恳求) help against a United States company with foreign operations. The “United States” company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate, while the “Canadian” companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.上面两处划线部分看不懂，请nn指教啊！！

10.     “Reform” in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as it were, for the disenfranchised.看不懂，是什么意思！！

谢谢啦

很多词语，都是og阅读里面的，是原文里面的，而不是题目里面的，所以就拿到这里来问了，还请大家帮忙指教一下啊！！

1. 在....方面存在分歧

2. 差不多....

3. 使持续

4. 是的

5. Describing the conditions prevailing before a given event in such a way that the contrast with those prevailing after the event appears more striking than it actually is. 通过前后对比使得事物比它实际上显得更突出。

6. be preferable to do sth <----这是不对的，是be preferable to DOING sth：XXX较YYY更优。虽然这种方法较牺牲其他地区工作机会的方式较可取，但仍有其缺陷。

7. 原文？

8. appreciate的意思很丰富。我记得这一题appreciate的意思比较关键。详细见词典。

9. conglomerate，集团企业；词典里应该有吧~~

The “United States” company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate, while the “Canadian” companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.

那个叫嚷着受到伤害的“美国”公司实际上是一个荷兰集团的分支；而那个“加拿大”公司却在芝加哥有个分支，该分支是国内第二大的岩盐提供商。

10. 这句是来自那片很难的大全2吧...

“Reform” in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as it were, for the disenfranchised.

这句话按偶的能力不能翻译得很漂亮。这篇文章不读也罢。

xealot, 太感谢了！

不过第二个解释里面：

the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes（做order的同位语） associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women

import into引进的意思。这个理解对吗/

别客气...

import into就是"进入"
