  参考答案:

  Answer to Question 81

  To establish the clearest comparison between circumstances in 1973 and those in 1984, a separate clause is

  171

  needed to describe each year. Choices A and C, in failing to use separate clauses, are too elliptical and

  therefore unclear. Choice A also incorrectly uses and and a semicolon to separate an independent clause and a

  phrase. Choice D incorrectly separates two independent clauses with a comma; moreover, the placement of in

  1984 is awkward and confusing. In choice E, that refers illogically to income, thereby producing the

  misstatement that income rather than mortgage payments rose to forty-four percent in 1984. Choice B is best;

  two properly constructed clauses that clearly express the comparison are separated by a semicolon.

  Answer to Question 82

  The logical comparison here is between large steel plants and small mills. Choices A, B, and C illogically

  contrast large steel plants with [the] processing [of] steel scrap. Further, in choices B and C remaining is

  not parallel with put; consequently, it is not clear exactly what is remaining economically viable. The contrast

  between large plants and small mills is logically phrased in choices D and E, but remained in E is not parallel

  with put. Choice D, the best answer, uses parallel verb forms to complete the construction have been able to

  put... and remain.

  Answer to Question 83

  Only choice C, the best answer, produces a sentence in which every pronoun it refers clearly and logically to the

  noun condition. In choices A and B, the phrase indicate that there . is one does not grammatically fit with

  when it is not because it has no referent. Choices B and D are imprecise in saying that a test will fail to detect

  when a condition is present, since the issue is the presence and not the timing of the condition. Further, its

  presence in D leaves the it in when it is not without a logical referent: it must refer to condition, not presence.

  Choice E repeats this error; also, the presence ... when it is there is imprecise and redundant.

  Answer to Question 84

  In choice A, the plural pronoun their does not agree in number with the singular noun person. Choices C, D,#p#分页标题#e#

  and E can be faulted for failing to complete the construction One legacy ... is with a noun that matches the noun

  legacy; these choices use verb forms--the infinitive to realize or the present participle realizing--in place of a

  noun such as realization. Further, when in C and D is less precise than as in characterizing a prolonged and

  gradual process such as aging. B is the best answer.

  Answer to Question 85

  Choice B is best. In A and D, have grown does not agree with the singular noun market. In addition, all of the

  choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and

  fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned; it is instead the market for those styles

  that is bringing back such pieces, as B states. Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail

  to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is bringing.

  Answer to Question 86

  In E, the best answer, the construction His right hand... crippled clearly and grammatically modifies the subject

  of the sentence, Horace Pippin. In A, the use of the two participles Having and being is ungrammatical. Choice

  B is awkward and changes the meaning of the original statement: the point is that Pippin's method of painting

  arose because of, not in spite of, his injury. Choice C is wordy and awkwardly places the clause beginning that

  crippled... so that it appears to modify the First World War rather than bullet. In choice D, The should be His,

  and being should be omitted.

  172

  Answer to Question 87

  Choice A is faulty because it uses the unidiomatic construction depends on if; whether is required to connect

  depends on with the clause beginning it can.... Choice C uses whether or not where only whether is needed,

  includes the awkward and wordy construction has the capability to, and unnecessarily repeats the idea of

  capability with can. Choices D and E use unidiomatic constructions where the phrase its ability to broaden is

  required. Choice B--idiomatic, concise, and correct--is best.

  Answer to Question 88

  The verbs are and calls indicate that the sculpture is being viewed and judged in the present. Thus, neither the

  past tense verb constituted (in B) nor the present perfect verb have constituted (in C) is correct; both suggest

  that the statue's features once constituted an artificial face but no longer do so. Also, B would be better if that

  were inserted after so unrealistic, although the omission of that is not ungrammatical. Choices D and E use

  unidiomatic constructions with enough: unrealistic enough to constitute would be idiomatic, but the use of

  enough is imprecise and awkward in this context. Choice A, which uses the clear, concise, and idiomatic

  construction so unrealistic as to constitute, is best.

  Answer to Question 89

  Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction "one X for every thirty-two Y's" to describe the ratio of

  computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one

  microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and

  garble the "one X ..." construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.

  Answer to Question 90

  The clause beginning Since 1986... indicates that the practice described in the second clause continued for

  some period of time after it began. Choice D, the best answer, supplies the present perfect have begun, which

  conveys this continuity; D also uses a construction that is appropriate when "allow" means "permit": allow... to

  be based on. Choices A, B, and E incorrectly use the past tense began rather than the present perfect;

  furthermore, in each of these options, they has no referent, since officers is a possessive modifier of fees.

  Choices A and C include the awkward phrase based on how the funds they manage perform. Choices C and

  E incorrectly use allow that.. .fees be based.
