请问老师这个怎么只凭A就能算出来呀？

Although it was expected that workers under forty would show hostility to the plan, the research report indicates that both ( younger and the older people ) approve of governmental appropriations for Social Security. (A) younger and the older people (B) younger people and the older (C) the younger and the older (D) younger and older people (E) people who are younger and those who are older 答案是D，错选了C。the加形容词不是可以表示一类人吗？而且感觉C在句意表达清楚的前提下看起来也比较工整。C和D的区别在哪？麻烦老师讲解。

A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but ( that they will , or could, ) be made sufficiently safe in the future. A. that they will, or could, B. that they would, or could, C. they will be or could D. think that they will be or could E. think the power station would or could 答案是D，错选了E。我对D的理解是这帮人认为现在核发电站是不安全的，但是认为将来他们可能是安全的。排除D是感觉they的指代有问题，不确实是在说这帮人还是核发电站。麻烦老师讲解。

In metalwork one advantage of adhesive-bonding over spot-welding is that the contact, and hence the bonding, is effected continuously over a broad surface ( instead of ) a series of regularly spaced points with no bonding in between. A. instead of B. as opposed to C. in contrast with D. rather than at E. as against being at 答案是D，这五个选项都不同，无法根据差异对比，而且对句意的把握也不太清晰，不知道该如何下手。麻烦老师讲解。

For some birds the sense of smell appears to paly a role in navigation, since pigeons with surgically removed olfactory nerves ( were found to have increased difficulties ) in homing. A. were found to have increased difficulties B. have been found to have increased difficulty C. were found to have increasing difficulty D. had been found to have increased difficulties E. have been found to have increasing difficulties 答案是B，我选的A。不明白为什么要用现在完成时，而且感觉困难应该是复数。麻烦老师讲解。

Those with a cynical turn of mind might ( speculate if the new corporation, eager for profit, might not have started ) the rumor that caused its competitor to declare bankruptcy. (A) speculate if the new corporation, eager for profit, might not have started (B) speculate if the new corporation, eager for profit, had not started (C) speculate if, in its eagerness for profit, the new corporation started (D) wonder as to whether, in its eagerness for profit, the new corporation did not start (E) wonder whether the new corporation, eager for profit, had started 答案是E，错选了B。做题时完全没有读明白句子意思，把speculate当成了spectacular，而且把if翻成了如果，怎么看怎么不顺，麻烦老师讲解。

( Monitoring heart patients' exercise as well as athletes excersing, is now done by small transmitters broadcasting physiological measurements to nearby recording machines. ) A. Monitoring heart patients' exercise as well as athletes excersing, is now done by small transmitters broadcasting physiological measurements to nearby recording machines. B. Monitoring the exercise of heart patients, as well as athletes excersing, is now done by small transmitters broadcasting physiological measurements to nearby recording machines. C. Small transmitters broadcasting physiological measurement to nearby recording machines are now used to monitor the exercise of both heart patients and athletes. D. Broadcasting physiological measurements to nearby recording machines, small transmitters are now used to monitor heart patients' exercise, as well as athletes exercising. E. Both athletes exercising and heart patients' exercise are now monitored by small transmitters broadcasting physiological measurements to nearby recording machines. 答案是C，错选了E。排除C的原因是感觉主语很长，头重脚轻。第一遍看原文的时候感觉exercise和exercising不平行，但是每个选项读下来发现都是这个形式，（当时没有注意到C的形式）于是就认为这个可能不是考点。E的错误是exercise和exercising吗？麻烦老师讲解。

( Even though its per capita food supply hardly increased during ) two decades, stringent rationing and planned distribution have allowed the People’s Republic of China to ensure nutritional levels of 2,000 calories per person per day for its population. (A) Even though its per capita food supply hardly increased during (B) Even though its per capita food supply has hardly increased in (C) Despite its per capita food supply hardly increasing over (D) Despite there being hardly any increase in its per capita food supply during (E) Although there is hardly any increase in per capita food supply for 错选了E，答案是B。排除ABCD是因为代词its，前半句说了its，后半句没有第一时间解释its是指谁。尽管觉得E也有不妥之处，E的any increase应该是名词吧？副词hardly修饰名词也不对吧？麻烦老师讲解。

During the recession of 1973, home mortgage foreclosures resulted in tens of thousands of Americans being evicted from homes ( that they can ) no longer afford monthly payment. A. that they can B. that they could C. on which they can D. because they can E. for which they could 错选了B，答案是E。不明白that和for which的区别，麻烦老师讲解。

In three centuries -from 1050 to 1350-several million tons of stone were quarried in France ( for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some ) tens of thourands of parish churches. A. for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some B. in order that they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some C. so as they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some D. so that there could be built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and E. such that they could build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and 把句意理解错了，选了D，答案是A。当时想的是一些石头被挖掘了在法国，后面应该是：导致在法国建立了多少教堂。排除BCE是感觉they指代有问题。没选A是不知道原文说的是这些石头用来建立教堂，而且后面有个some，不能理解some tens of throusands of。麻烦老师讲解。

While larger banks can afford to maintain their own data-processing operations, many smaller regional and community banks are finding that the ( cost associated with ) upgrading data-processing equipment and with the development and maintenance of new products and technical staff are prohibitive. A. cost associated with B. costs associated with C. costs arising from D. cost of E. costs of 这道题选了A，答案是B。上次答疑英老师说cost是不可数名词，不明白为什么选B。做题时感觉应该不是根据后面的谓语are来判断，因为谓语动词前面and连接了几个并列成分。现在review时不确定这些并列成分全都是修饰cost的，还是cost的并列。麻烦老师讲解。
