The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.
that scientists hope will enable实际上可以看成that, scientists hope, will enable
E选项有四个错误1.in order多余,to和in order to 在意思和用法上也有区别
2.it 指代不清,您也许认为it指代NEAR spacecraft,但实际上有可能这个NEAR spacecraft之前没有对Eros进行过measure,而是别的spacecraft对Eros进行measure,所以it没有指代对象
3.意思分裂。原句想说这个NEAR spacecraft ENABLE 科学家们understand...,E选项只是说科学家们希望如何如何,却没有明确表示科学家们是依靠NEAR spacecraft才达到understand的目的
4.are hoping用进行时态欠妥,hope就可以表示同样的意思
