前段时间看白勇，有题：The modernization program for the steel mill will cost approximately 51 million dollars, which it is hoped can be completed in the late 1980's.

(A) The modernization program for the steel mill will cost approximately 51 million dollars, which it is hoped can be completed in the late 1980's.
(B) The modernization program for the steel mill, hopefully completed in the late 1980's, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.
(C) Modernizing the steel mill, hopefully to be completed in the late 1980's, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.
(D) The program for modernizing the steel mill, which can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980's and cost approximately 51 million dollars.
(E) Modernizing the steel mill, a program that can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980's, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

对于Hopefully, 很多人解释，hopefully基本上在GMAT中出现，都是错的，不选，感觉解释很笼统，今天读到一个解释，和大家分享下：
The experiment will hopefully shed new light on the causes of cancer. (不佳)
这项实验希望能对癌症的成因带来新的了解。
句中hopefully —字是误用。它正确的用法是表示in a manner that is full of hope，用于类似下例的情况：
The children are looking at the gift boxes hopefully. (正确)
孩子们充满希望地看着礼盒。
这个句子的主词是children，抱希望的人也是children，这时才能用hopefully来修饰动词are looking。相反地，例8中主词是
experiment，可是抱希望的不是experiment，而是未明言的别人。此时不宜使用hopefully，应该改用it is hoped ：
The experiment, it is hoped, will shed new light on the causes of cancer. (正确)
