标题: GWD-26-17

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.

C the best

我觉得如果要用how从句的话，后面应该用形式主语it引出，所以正确的结构应该为

astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely it will be for a particular asteroid or comet to

所以我认为该题应该选D，虽然当中用for来表示目的可能不是最好，但这并不一定是错的

如，大全442

1. 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 thousands 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

(D) so that there could be built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and（A）

(E) such that they could build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and

to rate 不定式表示目的,而且不定式的动作发出者很明确。

相对而言， for rating, 和 that 从句都显得不贴切和冗长

谢谢楼上回复，但我没说C中的to rate错

我同意，但是撇开rate的问题，将C的how从句倒成疑问句会显得十分别扭

how likely will be a particular asteroid or comet to collide with Earth？

斑竹同志意下如何？不知这样古怪的结构造不造成C的错误

c, . astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely

a particular asteroid or comet will be to

如果把how的問局改成陳述句。

a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to

"be likely to" is perfect。c is the best

弱问一下

原句的may可以换成will吗？

作者: ly365 时间: 2006-7-10 16:09
"will be to" is a correct structure? i disagree with that.

作者: adpang 时间: 2006-10-19 23:41

同意MBA06的解释

但新东方老师说过be to do错，may的添加和缺失错。没想到两个错误同时出现竟然是对的。苦闷

我也不明白！

likelihood与may重复这个没问题吧？ may必须删除

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 (重复)

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.

这个好像没有解决D中developed a scale for rating the likelihood 的问题吧

作者: yale_qiu 时间: 2007-1-20 10:47

这题本来选C的，觉得是will be likely to的结构，但是google上搜了一下，似乎只有以下2种用法：

1. will＋likely＋v. 的用法，

2. how likely ＋ is/are ＋to do的用法

也就是说很少出现how likely ＋ will be to do的用法，从这点来说，C的将来时＋to do似乎有重复之嫌

E中likelihood that may...的用法不对

D中又出现一个have developed a scale for rating ，似乎也很少出现在正确选项中

这道题我选择的是D，但是看了答案后觉得应该选择C

我的理由是：这里的WILL BE TO并不是一个结构，不是表示将来的BE TO，因为how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to其实应该是 will be (to +后面的collide）可以理解为will be 是表示前面的asteroid或者comet的状态，而后面的to应该和will be分开

还请NN们指点迷津啊。。。

按照这样的意思,我认为 how likely a particular asteroid or comet will collide ...是更好的表达方式

作者: flyawayaloe 时间: 2007-2-18 14:59

本来无法理解will be to所以选了E。但现在明白了，是will be likely to的省略。那么C就没有什么可争议的了。

作者: guozao 时间: 2007-10-7 16:33
我记得白勇上说好象GMAC不倾向使用 for doing 这样的表达,除此以外我找不出让我觉得D错的理由.这么说的话还是C比较好.而且C读起来比较顺~~

作者: gg137 时间: 2008-9-14 18:10

我觉得题目的意思是计算出可能性 rate the likelihood 改成 rate how likely it will be 总觉得改变了句意啊我觉得 E比较好除了 MAY 和 LIKELIHOOD 语意重复

C的 BE TO 也没有错

astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely
a particular asteroid or comet will be to 其实是 be likely to do 的固定搭配的 BE

不是别的意思

作者: NKspielberg 时间: 2008-9-14 18:29
"how likely will be a particular asteroid or comet to collide with Earth？"为什么会有问题呢？how likely is A to do sth不是很正常的句子么？陈述语气就是A is likely to do sth，标准得不能再标准了。按照楼主说的把how引起的从句加上形式主语反而显得拖沓。

C 是 be likely to do 的倒装没有问题吧

作者: mingyuexing 时间: 2009-10-30 16:11
开始我也觉得D中的“will be to”很奇怪，所以选了D。之后再仔细看，发现likely其实是把它提前了进行强调，还原后是how a particualr asteroid or comet will be likely to
