长难句分析：

1.(Para1Line3)Forexample,onegraphicillustrationtowhichchildrenmightreadilyrelateistheestimatethatrainforestsarebeingdestroyedatarateequivalenttoonethousandfootballfieldseveryfortyminutes-aboutthedurationofanormalclassroomperiod.

参考译文：打个比方，孩子们很容易就能理解这样一个图例，即平均四十分钟，也就是一节课的时间内，世界上就会有相当于一千个足球场大小的热带雨林遭到破坏。

分析：onegraphicillustrationtowhichchildrenmightreadilyrelate……中which后为一个由介词to+which引导的定于从句，修饰先行词illustration，而之所以选用to是因为它和relate构成一个固定搭配relateto，表示“发生共鸣；欣赏；领略；认同；理解”等意思，如：

Heistryingtocreateanimagethataveragevoterscouldrelateto.

他在试图打造一个普通选民能够认同的形象。
