　　1. Primary care physicians who refuse to compromise quality are either driven out of business or to cash-only practices, further contributing to the decline of primary care. (09.12 Passage 2)考试用书

　　结构分析：主干：…physicians… are either driven out of business or to (cash only) practices…

　　Physicians有前置定语primary care和who引导的定语从句修饰。句末的现在分词短语contributing…作状语，表示伴随are driven…而来的结果。

　　译文：不愿降低服务质量的初级护理医生要么被迫停业，要么提供只收现金的服务，这进一步加剧了初级护理服务的下滑。

　　2. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. (09.6 Passage 1)

　　主干：...London has become (quite) unaffordable.www.Examw.com

　　这是个简单句，句首的“with+宾语(the dollar)+宾补(slumping to...)”作状语，表示原因。
