请教OG12-SC-50

50. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market refect growing confidence that the ecomony will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

(A) that the ecomony will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come

(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come

(C) in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come

(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come

(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared this year by many, with it instead coming

正确答案是A。问题是这里的had feared不是表示过去的过去时态吗?偶这么直接套就把A首先排除掉了。。。

附上OG12的标准解答

Grammatical construction; Rhetorical construction

The original sentence successfully avoids the problems that may occur in a long sentence with multiple modifiers. Two subordinate clauses begin with that, and one of them is contained within another. That many had feared earlier in the year clear defines the recession. That the economy will avoid...and instead (will understood) come... is the subordinate clause that follows the main clause; it's subject, economy, is followed by two parallel verbs, will avoid and (will understood) come. Instead before the second verb properly indicates contrast.

A Correct. This sentence contains two correct subordinate clauses introduced by that.

B What cannot replace that; the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

C Earlier in the year should follow many had feared, rather than preceding it; instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

D The recession must be followed by that; were fearing is the wrong tense; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.

E The passive voice construction that was feared... is weak and wordy; with it intead coming is awkward, wordy, and ungrammatical.

是不是因为曾经担心过,现在已经不担心了,所以用过去完成时?

是不是由earlier这个词推出过去完成时呢,如果只有this year,那么从will avoid可以推出过去时,然后加和earlier,就是过去的过去,呃~~~其实我也很想知道答案的说~~~

Share一下网上搜到的解答:

“The use of "had feared" instead of "feared" is to distinguish between two events that happened in the past, one earlier than the other. In this case, analysts HAD FEARED a recession before the stock market MADE some recent gains. (I know the word "made" is not used in the example, but it is inferred from the context.) "Had feared" is in the past perfect simple tense, whereas "made" is in plain old past tense”

个人意见,请NN拍砖:

这里的gains 完全可以理解成现在的情况, the gains in the stock market 就是some analysts在说现在的情况,所以这里had feared 没有什么道理,只不过其他的选项错的更狠,特别是有逻辑错误,gains 不能 come in for soft landing, 只能是经济come in for soft landing, 只能选A,尽管 had feared 有争议。
