【昨日长难句】
Some species of tree have been“read out of the party” by economics-minded foresters because they grow too slowly, or have too low a sale value to pay as timber crops.
一些树种已被有经济学头脑的林业工作者“排除在外”，因为它们生长速度太慢，或者售价太低不能作为（提供）木材的物种。
【今日长难句】
It is only in recent years that we hear the more honest argument that predators are members of the community, and that no special interest has the right to exterminate them for the sake of a benefit, real or fancied, to itself.

【结构解析】
1. 句子主干为 “it is …that” 强调句式结构， “only in recent years” 是被强调的时间状语成分。判断强调句式，主要的就是将it is 和that去掉后，看整个句子没有成分的残缺或冗余，如果没有就是强调句式。
2. 后半句中，“that …, and that …“为两个that引导的同位语从句。判断同为语从句的，首先是that从句解释前面的某个名词的内容，其次看that在从句中是否充当成分，如果不充当成分就是同位语从句；最后看that之后的从句内容是否完整，如果完整that引导的就是同位语从句。
3. “real or fancied” 是插入语修饰a benefit, 插入在a benefit to itsef之中。
