GWD-26-Q17的答案定论

 GWD-26-Q17

Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes
        undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale
            developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A.    a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood
        that a particular asteroid or comet may

B.    a scale that astronomers have developed rates how
        likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to

C.    astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely
        a particular asteroid or comet will be to

D.    astronomers have developed a scale for rating the
        likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will

E.    astronomers have developed a scale that rates the
        likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may

这题争议很大,我自己选了C, 很多同学也这么认为,而答案给的是D

老实说,我觉得C的弱点就在于be likely to do偏主观了

请问各位，此题答案有定论了吗？

选C,I am sure

C中的will be to是will be supposed to的简写形式

就是说  小行星撞地球的概率

D中直接用will欠妥,因为这样就是在说要撞,但是其实只是suppose

另外C中的 to rate,直接表明目的 比D中的for 好

btw 本人在工作中经常用  be to这种结构,美国人也经常用,所以还是有把握的

D is the best.

1、be to 有表将来的意思，前面再加will，就重复了，

2、be supposed to 有表示应该如何……，期望……的意思，因此用在这么逻辑不对，即使be to 是 be supposed to 的缩写。

3、will 有表示“可能的性”意思，

D astronomers have developed a scale for rating the
        likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will

 that clause 做likelihood的什么成分

同位语?定语?

sorry,看错了,C中的 will be to是will be likely to

不是will be supposed to

that 引导的从句难道不是修饰likelihood的嘛？

修饰指定语从句?那你把这句话还原来看看,likelihood应该放在从句的哪里

我现在又仔细看了一下,搞不清C和D了

高手来吧
