虽然考好了, 有几题不能释怀, 其他一些暂时找不到了, 下面两道拿出来与大家分享:
大全300:
Following the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger, investigators concluded that many key people employed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its contractors work an excessive amount of overtime that has the potential of causing errors in judgment.
(A) overtime that has the potential of causing
(B) overtime that has the potential to cause
(C) overtime that potentially can cause
(D) overtime, a practice that has the potential for causing D(E)
(E) overtime, a practice that can, potentially, cause
按照OG(大全927), can potentially 明显重复. A的原意是potential作名词, 一般地, 如果这种原意没有明显缺陷,应当保留. potential for doing 是惯用法. D应该最好. 我想最重要的是不能使大家产生认同can potentially的想法.
大全606:
Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity.
(A) that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity
(B) of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
(C) by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity *
(D) by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity(A)
(E) by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity
前人有不少讨论, 大家可以仔细看看:

Aprocess的主动用法相当之awkward,选择A可能是某种规则的产物. C应该是idiomatic的吧, 很奇怪答案. 当然, 答案也是人做的.
大家可以讨论讨论.
606:可能的解释1:make可以接宾语+宾补,produce不能加宾补,所以produce可以与make共用宾语,但不可以共用宾补。
可能的解释2:是不是A的make it understandable 这个 动词+宾语+宾补的用法,ETS认为和动词+小品词的用法类似。如当这个it是名词我们可以说:make the language understandable也可以说make understandable the language. 虽然宾语是代词时不能随意提前宾补,但是由于宾语是名词时可以,实际上和动词+小品词的用法类似,比如:我们说He took off his coat. 也可以说:He took his coat off. 在这种情况下,会不会ETS认为象make it understandable 这个动词+宾语+宾补中宾补在宾语是名词时可以提前到宾语之前的结构中,make understandable就像 take off一样就是谓语部分?所以宾语可以和produce共用。其实句子成分的划分都是人为的,动能上的东西是客观存在的,我觉得这种理解也应该有道理。
没有从语法书中找到直接的答案。上面的推测供大家批评。
偶认为第300题d的问题是have the potential for 一般用于褒义,似乎不能和贬义的cause errors 连用.
300, can, potentially,... potentially应该是说明can,是个并列的。如果没有逗号,can potentially ...就是重复了。
