常见的是分词先行的结构:Currently consumed 26 billion barrels a year, world's oil....
231. (31211-!-item-!-188;#058&006021) (T-4-Q3) Currently 26 billion barrels a year, world consumption of oil is rising at a rate of 2 percent annually.
A. world consumption of oil is rising at a rate of
B. the world is consuming oil at an increasing rate of 错误:改变句意。原文中rate是恒定的2%,而不是变化的。GMAT中随意改变形容词副词的位置或者修饰对象,常常产生错误。 C. the world’s oil is being consumed at the increasing rate of 错误:同B D. the rise in the rate of the world’s oil consumption is 错误:逻辑错误,同B E. oil is consumed by the world at an increasing rate of 错误:同B。 OMA:A
这里我想确认一下我的想法。这个currently 26 billion barrels a year,是不是相当于一个同位语,后面句子主语要能被他解释?疑问这个原因排除了B-E?请各位高人指点,万分感谢!

谢谢大家!楼上的解释好精彩~ 我本身只注意到了同位语的问题。那个increasing修饰rate不妥的问题都没看出来!非常感谢!!作者: 快乐小龙 时间: 2010-5-4 09:29
B-E中的world, world's oil, the rise and oil 都无法正确修饰26 billion barrels a year; D中的rise in the rate of is unidomatic;
