【语法分析】

 

这句话是一个主谓宾句型，主语"he"，谓语"found"，宾语是一个宾语从句，宾语从句中的主语是"people"，"whose neural reward centers were more active when they won money"引导定语从句修饰"people"，宾语从句的谓语是"were likely to be among the group"，"of liars"是定语修饰前面的"group"，后面的"suggesting that"是现在分词作状语，"that"是实义动词"suggesting"引出来的宾语从句。

 

【译文】

 

他在后续分析中发现，赢钱时神经犒赏中心更活跃的受试者更可能成为撒谎者——这表明撒谎或许跟无力抵抗诱惑相关。

 

【考情分析】

 

这句话的难点在于定语从句这里，"whose neural reward centers were more active when they won money."这实际上是一个复合句，主干是个主系表句型，中间包含一个时间状语从句"when they won money"，把这个定语从句分清楚，宾语从句的主干就好辨别了。
