1A different and not mutually exclusive __3__ holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one __4__ by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives __5__, people will simply become lazy and depressed.
主干主语:A different and not mutually exclusive __3__;谓语:holds;宾语:that 引导的从句(future will be a wasteland)
结构主句后接 that 宾语从句。one 作 wasteland 的同位语,后接过去分词短语 __4__ by purposelessness 作后置定语。冒号后为独立解释句:Without jobs… 为介词短语作条件状语,其中 to give their lives __5__ 为目的状语修饰 jobs。
译文另一种并不相互排斥的看法认为,未来将是另一类荒原,一片被无目的感所笼罩的荒原:没有工作赋予生命以意义,人们只会变得懒散而抑郁。
考点not mutually exclusive 作前置定语,修饰空格名词(多为 prediction/view) · one 指代 wasteland,后接分词定语;冒号后补充说明
2Also, some research suggests that the __8__ for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addiction __9__ poorly-educated, middle-aged people is a shortage of well-paid jobs.
主干主语:some research;谓语:suggests;宾语:that 从句(主干为 the __8__ … is a shortage)
结构that 宾语从句中,主语 the __8__ 后接 for 介词短语说明对象,再接 __9__ poorly-educated… 作后置定语(多为 among),谓语是系动词 is,表语为 a shortage of well-paid jobs。rising rates of 后三个名词并列。

考点suggests that 后接完整主系表从句,勿把 is 前的长修饰当成谓语 · for… 与 among… 两层后置修饰叠套
3But it doesn’t __11__ follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease.
主干形式主语:it;谓语:doesn’t follow;真正主语:that 从句
结构it 为形式主语,真正主语是 that 从句。doesn’t follow from… 表示“并不能由此必然得出”。would be filled with 为对假想无工作世界的虚拟判断。like these 修饰 findings。
译文但并不能从这类发现中必然推出:一个没有工作的世界就会充满不安。
考点it doesn’t follow that… 固定结构:并不因此得出…… · follow from 后接依据,that 从句才是结论
4Such visions are based on the __12__ of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment.

译文在没有工作的情况下,一个以其他目标为出发点而设计的社会,完全可能为劳动与闲暇的未来创造出截然不同的境况。
