长难句分析

Whilemanypeople...,recentresearch...–thedurationofredlightsinChinaexceedswhatpeoplecanmentallybear.

本句中的while表示“虽然，尽管”；破折号后的分句进一步说明人们闯红灯的另一个原因，该句的主干为theduration…exceedswhatpeoplecanmentallybear，what引导宾语从句，意思是“人们心理能够承受的范围”。

考点看台

Seldomdoesaredlightinthesecountriesexceedthelimits.

本句为部分倒装句。

当句子以否定词，如seldom，never，hardly，little,notonly等开头时，要用部分倒装，即把谓语动词的一部分（助动词或情态动词等）提前放到主语前面。
