OG解释中的疑问

10.   The fear of rabies is well founded: few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms.

(A) few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms

(B) few people are known to have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared

(C) there are few known people who have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared

(D) after the clinical symptoms appear, there are few known people who have recovered from the disease（B）

(E) recovery from the disease is known for only a few people after the clinical symptoms appear

Choice A does not clarify the timing of events but rather suggests that a few people continue to recover indefinitely. In B, the best choice, have recovered and have appeared indicate that the action of recovery is completed rather than ongoing. In choice C, the impersonal construction ( there are ) is needlessly wordy; moreover, the placement of known wrongly implies that the issue is whether the people rather than the instances of recovery are known. Choice D further confuses matters by placing the after phrase well before recovered, the verb it modifies. Choice E is indirect and unidiomatic. The question is of average difficult.

我不太明白解释的意思。

13.   For all his professed disdain of such activities, Auden was an inveterate literary gossip.

(A) For all his professed disdain of such activities

for all 引导的不是句子吗？his 应改为he 吧？

10, A, recover和be known同时或recover在known以后，同时动词优先于抽象名词。

D，have recovered是完成时，出现在现在时appear之后。

13，for all是介词短语。

谢谢！
