After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

(A) tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two or help(KEY)

(E) tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

can和capability

og87. Beyond the immediate cash flow crisis that the museum faces, its survival depends on if it can broaden its membership and leave its cramped quarters for a site where it can store and exhibit its more than 12,000 artifacts.

(A) if it can broaden its membership and leave

(B) whether it can broaden its membership and leave

(C) whether or not it has the capability to broaden its membership and can leave

(D) its ability for broadening its membership and leaving

(E) the ability for it to broaden its membership and leave

Choice A is faulty because it uses the unidiomatic construction depends on if; whether is required to connect depends on with the clause beginning it can.... Choice C uses whether or not where only whether is needed, includes the awkward and wordy construction has the capability to, and unnecessarily repeats the idea of capability with can. Choices D and E use unidiomatic constructions where the phrase its ability to broaden is required. Choice B--idiomatic, concise, and correct--is best.

has the capability to没错, e.g. he has the capability to speak four languages.这里ETS认为跟can比has the capability to显得awkward and wordy。

identify something
identify...as... (语法大全里有很多例子)

大全 913

Violence in the stands at soccer matches has gotten so pronounced in several European countries that some stadiums have adopted new rules that aimto identify fans of visiting teams and that seat them in a separate area.

(A) to identify fans of visiting teams and that seat them

(B) to identify fans of visiting teams and seat them

(C) to identify fans of visiting teams for seating

(D) at identifying fans of visiting teams so as to seat them（B）

(E) at identifying fans of visiting teams and that seat them

平行角度B is best。也许seat前加to可能更好，不过这里也没有其它项可选。

A, E的错在于that aim 和 that seat意思上不平行，seat应该和identify平行。aim sb./sth.at doing和aim to do都对。

C, D分别用了for和so as to似乎想要表达identify的目的，但与aim to有重复的嫌疑，so as to 大多是错，除了前面主谓是系表结构(be)。aim直接加at，一般不用。
