Those skeptical of the extent of global warming argue that short-term temperature data are an inadequate means of predicting long-term trends and point out that the scientific community remains divided on whether significant warming will occur and what impact will it have if it does.

[讨论]prep2-47 有关虚拟语气

47.   (27004-!-item-!-188;#058&003398)

 

Those skeptical of the extent of global warming argue that short-term temperature data are an inadequate means of predicting long-term trends and point out that the scientific community remains divided on whether significant warming will occur and what impact will it have if it does.

 

(A) on whether significant warming will occur and what impact will it have if it does

(B) on whether warming that occurs will be significant and the impact it would have

(C) as to whether significant warming will occur or the impact it would have if it did

(D) over whether there will be significant warming or the impact it will have

(E) over whether significant warming will occur and what impact it would have

答案是E

我觉得这里whether....和what impact两个要么都用虚拟,要么都不用,为啥一个用,一个不用呢?

因為"what impact it would have"是in a hypothetical sense.
原句的"if it does" hints that是一個假設

If it does不是假设,If it did或者 It it were to do才是假设。

这里是一个真实条件才对。这道题 Mgmat的上大牛Instrutor Ronpurewal也说 虚拟用的有点莫名奇妙。

umm...yup, if it does是condition而不是假設, 我的意思是ETS可能故意寫"if it does" to lead the test taker to think about "hypothetical sense".  after all, 原句不一定是對, 只是給hint.

是否要"hypothetical sense", 其實很多時候只有author本身才知道.  因為當一件不太可能的事, author會write in "hypothetical sense", 可是別人一定知道為什麼那是一件不太可能的事.
