同意zcao2，这才是我找的问题。

不过我想通了。

which were determined by ... and differing

如果补齐，变成which were determined by ... and (were) differing的确不是不平行，但是were differing的时态不能在这里使用(意思不对了）。这里还是要用differed才能和were ditermined平行。

对！OG上有这个：

210. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

(A)  extending

(B)  extends

(C)  extended

(D)  it extended

(E)   is extending

Choice A, the best answer, preserves grammatical parallelism while allowing for logical expression of temporal relation­ships; A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending ... to modify filigree. Other choices present different grammatical constructions that are not participial modifiers and thus not parallel to spawned: extends in B is a present-tense verb; it extended in D begins a new clause; and is extending in E ungrammatically introduces a new predicate. In C, extended is nonparallel if it is assumed to be a past tense verb form; if it is assumed to be a past participle, it illogically states, as does D, that the filigree extended only in the past.

问题是，为什么local times是复数？time只有在表示时代或时期时，才可能是复数；表示时间，是单数形式，不可数名词。

106. The decision by one of the nation's largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.

(A)  increasing the pressure

(B)   the increasing pressure

(C)  increased pressure

(D)  the pressure increased

(E)   the pressure increasing

The best answer will complete the phrase could mean less lending with a construction that is parallel to less lending. Here less is an adjective modifying lending, which functions as a noun in naming a banking activity. C, the best choice, parallels this adjective + noun construction with increased [adjective] pressure [noun]. Choice A violates parallelism by introducing a phrase in place of the adjective + noun construction. Choices D and E also fail to parallel the adjective + noun construction. In choice B, the definite article the needlessly suggests that some previously mentioned type of pressure is being referred to, and increasing implies without warrant that the increase has been continuing for some indefinite period of time, not that it occurs as a consequence of the bank's decision.
