112. An unusually strong cyclist can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set a new distance record for human-powered aircraft in MIT’s diaphanous construction of graphite fiber and plastic.
(A) can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set
(B) it is hoped, can provide enough power that will set
(C) hopefully can provide enough power, this will set
(D) is hopeful to set
(E) hopes setting
答案是A,不知道这里it is hoped是什么成分?解释上说D E改变了原意,是不是因为这里讲的是有足够的power,而不是说那个人是不是有希望?
另外,sb is hopeful是否成立呢?牛津上hopeful的用法如下
1.be hopeful about the future 对未来充满希望
I feel hopeful of success/that we shall succeed. 我对成功[我们将获得成功]抱有希望.
2.(of a sign, situation, etc) giving hope; likely to be favourable or successful; promising (指徵兆、 情况等)有希望的, 顺利的, 有前途的:
The future does not seem very hopeful. 前途似乎有点不妙.
请牛人指点
顶!
objections against hopefully. You
might expect that people would have warmed to hopefully once the usage became
well established. But instead they appear to have become more adamant in their
opposition. In the 1968 Usage Panel survey, 44 percent of the panel
approved the usage, but this dropped to 27 percent in our 1986 survey. There is
plenty of evidence to suggest that the panel of the mid-1980s was less
conservative than the panel of the 1960s, since it accepted once-condemned
usages such as the employment of contact and host as verbs. And 60 percent of
that same panel in the 1986 survey accepted the comparable use of mercifully in
the sentence Mercifully, the game ended before the Giants could add another
to the lopsided score. It is not the use of hopefully as a sentence
adverb per se that bothers the panel. Rather, hopefully seems to have taken on
a life of its own as a shibboleth.
sentence adverbs. Like other sentence adverbs such as bluntly
and happily, hopefully may occasionally be ambiguous. In the sentence
Hopefully, the company has launched a new venture, you could construe the word
hopefully as describing the point of view of either the speaker or the company.
You can resolve such ambiguities either by repositioning the adverb (The
company has launched the new venture hopefully) or by choosing a paraphrase (We
hope that the company has launched the new venture).
