2, sec14-19
A is best. 1972应用reduced, 故C, E错。B, C的the phosphate amount错,B的had been dumping句意不对。
E的 allowed for错,by municipalities改变句意。D的are allowed时态错。the amount应该是指reduced前的量, 故应过去的过去had been allowed。

794. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.

(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
大全794,OG答案为D。
794, sec19-12
根据常识, Olympic Games 在sacred truce 之后
a, proclaimed during
b, proclaiming a sacred truce during
d, proclaimed during
所以都错,E太啰嗦,且by proclamation 容易产生没有合适逻辑主语的意味。可选出C,C中的they不会产生歧义, proclaim或sign truce的主语一定是nations, states 或cities等可交战的双方,Olympic Games 是不可能proclaim或sign truce的。
(A) 被动,动作发起者不明
(B) The Olympic Games proclaiming错
(C) best。they指the pugnacious states。
(D) 被动,动作发起者不明
(E) by proclamation of , 即便改成by proclaiming 也不对
根据历史背景。proclaim这里不能和during festival’smonth连在一起,因为这样意思就变为:在奥运会期间做了这么个停火声明,而实际我们知道是为了奥运会才停火,这个声明应该在奥运会之前。所以A,B,D马上可以排出,E明显错。
