A错选E,就没想到KyotoProtocol是declaration…所以才选了E，原本思路是Kyoto Protocol是一个政策或者协议，和declaration（声明/宣告）是两个东西。E本来也有不好的地方，比如creating和后面的比较awkward，那declaration和精度协议是同一回事儿，就肯定选A。

(D) and helped the stock market reach record highs, but ithas yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country
(E) and helped the stock market reach record highs, but hasnot translated into consistent job growth across the country
D错选E。E says: The Fed program hasbuoyed X, and helped Y reach record highs, but has not translated into Z.....What has not been translated? The Fed Program or Y (the stock market). E mayconvey a different meaning: the Fed Program helped the stock market reachrecord highs, but has not translated the stock market into consistent jobgrowth.... Thus, the meaning is quite ambiguous. We need "it" torefer "the Fed program".

(C) did not emerge in a rapid manner but developedpainstakingly
(D) did not emergein a rapid manner but had painstakingly developed
(E) did not emerge in a rapid manner but it was painstakinglydeveloped
C错选E，主要错在以为需要被动上，这里不需要被动，最初考虑的是design不应该是wasdeveloped from那些prototypes吗，而且什么时候不需要被动，什么时候需要？ 见下方： Consider the following sentences: (1) John broke the window. (2) The window broke. Either is okay, and we don'tthink that the window broke anything in the latter case. The relevant part ofthe item in question could read: (1) Gustave Eiffel developed thedesign. (2) The design developed.

E错选A，主要是这句话的意思没搞懂，正确的意思是：Belizean是吃米饭，不怎么吃玉米饼。我原本以为就是说虽然B挨着墨西哥这些生产玉米饼的国家，但是B都吃米饭且玉米饼很少见。。。。但其实不是这个意思，就是说不怎么吃玉米饼，但还是有点无法理解。。不理解为什么要说后面是irrelevant，前面墨西哥他们都吃，后面说玉米饼在B少见，哪里irrelevant了？读的时候理解的就是A的意思。。。
