43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north. (A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many (B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many (C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them (D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many (E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom 答案是E。解释说C中的them指代不清，但我觉得them就是指代前面的people啊，而且E的but之后的部分感觉是一个名词和一个定从，但but不是应该连接句子吗?
57. That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970. (A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault (B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault (C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology (D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology (E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said 答案是D。解释说B中的be said to be at fault 没有完成后面的从句，为什么没完成呢？还有A错在哪呢？
那43中的C答案中的them除了指代people,还可以指代什么？ 还有OG对57题A答案的解释是： Although it is possible to begin a sentence with a subordinate clause beginning with that, this inverted construction often results in errors such as those found here. In the original sentence, the subordinate clause that … technology is followed by the main verb, can … be said, but then the verb is followed by yet another subordinate clause, that it is their fault. Th e best way to solve this problem is by putting the sentence in the expected order, with the main clause (It can hardly be said) preceding the subordinate clause (that … ). For greater clarity and concision, the two subordinate clauses should be condensed into one: educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology. A Inverting the usual order results in an ungrammatical construction in which the main verb is both preceded and followed by a subordinate clause. 可是第五篇阅读中出现了就这样的结构： That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those orientations.
