　　解析：Natalie Whitman has decided to preempt any embarrassment her missing photographs may have caused by allowing "Mode" magazine to reveal the real her and publish the pictures completelyunretouched这就是一个句子。但是有许多修饰成分和一个虚拟语气的运用。

　　（1）该句子中her missing photographs may have caused是一个定语从句，修饰前面的先行词embarrassment。这个先行词在定语从句中做谓语动词cause的宾语，可以考虑的关系代词which和that都可以使用，由于是做宾语可以省略。这个定语从句省略了关系代词that或者是which。Missing是现在分词作定语，修饰photographs。

　　在这个定语从句中使用了情态动词的虚拟语气，谓语是may have caused，这个表示是对过去的事情的一种不是很肯定的推测，所以用may这个情态动词。因为剧中我们可以知道这个模特的照片丢失了，那么带来的难堪的后果到底有没有，现在还不知道，大家只是在担忧而已，在估计而已，所以这里用虚拟语气。

　　（2）by allowing "Mode" magazine to reveal the real her and publish the pictures completelyunretouched这个就是一个方式状语。介词by在这里意思是“通过（方式）”。"Mode" magazine指代“时尚杂志报社”，allowing因为做介词的宾语，所以要用其动名词形式。To reveal the real her and publish the pictures completelyunretouched是动词不定式做动词allow后的宾语的补足语。这个动词不定式中pictures completelyunretouched的unretouched是过去分词作后置定语修饰前面的名词pictures，副词completely修饰过去分词unretouched。

　　（3）In a stunning new twist in today's major fashionistic drama是介词短语作状语。

　　2.I just wanna put a spotlight on the hypocrisy of this business which seems intent on making any normal human being feel like an outcast?

　　解析：这是一个含有定语从句的复合句，主句是I just wanna put a spotlight on the hypocrisy of this business，从句是which seems intent on making any normal human being feel like an outcast。先行词是hypocrisy，不是bussiness，business是做定语修饰hypocrisy。Hypocrisy是指事件，在从句中做主语，可选择的关系代词可以是which也可以是that，做主语不能省略。句中seem是系动词，intent是名词。Making any normal human being feel like an outcast是intent on这个固定短语搭配中的介词on的宾语，属于动名词。

　　3.Does this audacious move by recently installed editor Daniel Meade markthe beginning of a newer, nicer "Mode"?

　　解析：installed是过去分词作前置定语，修饰名词editor。它与editor之间存在的是被动关系。
