  参考答案:

  Answer to Question 61

  Choice C is best. In A and B, the plural pronouns their and they do not agree with the singular noun bank. B, like

  D and E, illogically shifts from the plural customers and funds to the singular check, as if the customers were

  jointly depositing only one check. In D, requires a bank that it should is ungrammatical; requires that a bank is

  the appropriate idiom. In E, the use of the passive construction is to be delayed is less informative than the

  active voice because the passive does not explicitly identify the bank as the agent responsible for the delay.

  Answer to Question 62

  D, the best choice, describes the warning signs in parallel phrases. Despite surface appearances, the nouns changes

  and variations are parallel with tilting, but the verbal forms changing and varying in A, B, and C are not: tilting, one

  of the deformations of the Earth's crust, is used here as a noun that is parallel to fluctuations, whereas changing and

  varying are used as verbs indicating some action undertaken. Moreover, these verbs are used incorrectly because the

  sentence mentions no subject that is performing these actions. B and E illogically state that it is not the strain but the

  measurements that portend danger, and among in E wrongly suggests a comparison of different electrical properties

  rather than of different behaviors of the same properties.

  Answer to Question 63

  Choice A, which is both idiomatic and concise, is best. In choice B, to contract is wrong because the phrase are in

  danger must be followed by of, not by an infinitive. The phrase have a danger is unidiomatic in C. In D, the phrase

  by contraction trypanosomiasis requires of after contraction; even if this correction were made, though, the passive

  construction in D would be unnecessarily wordy and also imprecise, because it is the disease more than the act of

  contracting it that poses the danger. In E, have a danger is again unidiomatic, and the to that clause following the

  phrase is, within the structure of the sentence, ungrammatical and awkward.

  Answer to Question 64

  In this sentence, the first noun of the main clause grammatically identifies what is being compared with a funded

  pens ion system; to be logical, the comparison must be made between comparable things. Only E, the best choice,

  compares one kind of system of providing for retirees, the funded pension system, with another such system. Social

  Security. Choices A, C, and D all illogically compare the pension system with the approach taken by Social Security

  itself. In B, the comparison of pension system with foundation is similarly flawed.

  168

  Answer to Question 65

  When consider means "regard as," as it does in this sentence, its object should be followed immediately by the

  phrase that identifies or describes that object. Thus, to be in A, as in B, and as being in C produce unidiomatic

  constructions in the context of the sentence. Also, although (/and whether can be used interchangeably after some

  verbs, question if, which appears in A and B, is unidiomatic, and they in B is unnecessary. E also contains the

  unnecessary they, and it uses the ungrammatical construction consider... facilities are. Grammatically and#p#分页标题#e#

  idiomatically, sound D is the best choice.

  Answer to Question 66

  Choice A is best. In B, both must come before acknowledgment if it is to link acknowledgment and effort; as

  misplaced here, it creates the unfulfilled expectation that the reduction of interest rates will be an acknowledgment

  of two different things. Moreover, both... as well as ... is redundant: the correct idiom is both x and y. In C, the plural

  verbs acknowledge and attempt do not agree with their singular subject, reduction; also, it is imprecise to

  characterize a reduction as performing actions such as acknowledging or attempting. In both D and E, the use of the

  participle reducing rather than the noun reduction is awkward. Like B, D misplaces both, while E repeats both the

  redundancy of B and the agreement error of C.

  Answer to Question 67

  Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring ... employers must be followed by an

  infinitive. These options display additional faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave

  will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic;

  and E says that the bill being debated would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B

  offers the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D is best.

  Answer to Question 68

  In choice A, the construction from hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides ... react is ungrammatical. In B, the best choice,

  the conjunction when replaces the preposition/row, producing a grammatical and logical statement. In choice C, the

  use of the conjunction and results in the illogical assertion that the formation of ozone in the atmosphere happens in

  addition to, rather than as a result of, its formation when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide react with sunlight. Choice

  D omits the main verb, is, leaving a sentence fragment. E compounds the error of D with that of A.

  Answer to Question 69

  Choices A, B, and D are unidiomatic. Choice C is awkward and wordy; furthermore, the phrase at the time of her

  being adolescent suggests that Willard's adolescence lasted only for a brief, finite moment rather than for an

  extended period of time. Choice E, idiomatic and precise, is the best answer.

  Answer to Question 70

  Choice A is best. Choice B lacks the necessary infinitive after likely. In B and C, disadvantaged, which often means

  "hampered by substandard economic and social conditions," is less precise than at a disadvantage. In C and D,

  cannot often carry out suggests that a President with limited time suffers only from an inability to achieve legislative

  goals frequently, not from a frequent inability to achieve them at all. In C, liable, followed by an infinitive, can

  legitimately be used to express probability with a bad outcome, but C is otherwise flawed as noted. D's liable and E's

  169

  unable should be followed by an infinitive rather than by a relative clause beginning with that.
