204. 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 payments. (A) that they can (B) that they could (C) on which they can (D) because they can (E) for which they could 答案:E, 可是我觉得D比E更简洁,而且意思没有改变,也没有歧异.
请帮忙解释一下.
220. Because Halley’s comet changes orbit slightly during the seventy-six-year interval between passing close to Earth, it may veer onto a collision course with a planet sometime in the distant future. (A) between passing (B) of passing (C) between its passes (D) of its passes (E) as it passes 答案C, 这是我觉得最没有可能的一个选项,可能是什么知识点不清楚, 所以选了E, 那位高人知道,请指教!
220, 经过大家的指点,我明白了. during 76-year interval between its passes close to earth, 这句话的意思是"每次靠近地球的间隔是76年", 所以passes 要用这样的复数形式表达, 只有两次以上的pass才有可能出现interval呀.
No 204, 1, COULD is needed here because it's in the past. 2, FOR has to be used as well because the monthly payments are for the homes they were evicted from. NO 200, I think a noun should be preferable after prepsition BETWEEN, which must be used after INTERVAL.
