新prep1-178 180 181 - ChaseDream

Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle,

saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.

我选的A，请问A错在哪里呢，require 的用法不是后面加从句省略should 变成动词原形吗，谢谢！

Noting that the Federal Reserve had raised a key short-term interest rate again last month, analysts said that they expected orders for durable goods to

decline soon because rising interest rates makes it more expensive to buy them on credit.

E. a rise in interest rates makes it more expensive for them to be bought on credit

我选的C，感觉C没有语法错误吧，问题是在简洁上吗？谢谢！

The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.

a rise in interest rates make it more...该层次意思的主语核心词是a rise，in interest rates是修饰a rise的。因此要用makes

181题：我觉得increase in something表示在something方面的增长。这里是指去年的增长，要用increase of，免得有歧义。

至于为什么doubling比twice as many as 更好，我也不知道。。。twice是一个副词，副词词组可以放在句尾做状语吗？

181题，我感觉是doubling和twice的考点，doubling这里修饰前面rose sharply的事实，自己臆断，望牛牛指点！
