219. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist（活动家）who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising.

译文

最后，董事会决定聘用69岁的科罗拉多商人和政治活动家布鲁斯·本森，因为他能很好地完成现代高校校长的主要任务——筹集资金。

点睛

本句的主干是board picked Bruce Benson。Bruce Benson之后的内容皆为其同位语；who引导的是以businessman and political activist为先行词的定语从句；冒号之后的内容fund-raising是对main task of modern university presidents的解释说明。

be likely to do sth.的意思是“可能做某事”，likely也可用在be likely that的结构中。如：

It's very likely that he'll ring me tomorrow. 他很可能明天给我打电话。

do well in的意思是“在……方面做得很好”。如：

John does well in maths. 约翰的数学成绩很好。

考点归纳

She is good at painting. 她擅长绘画。

be expert at/in。如：

She's expert at making stylish clothes. 她做时装很在行。

be skilled at/in。如：
