17. GWD-26-Q17

Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes
        undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale
            developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A.      a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood
        that a particular asteroid or comet may

B.       a scale that astronomers have developed rates how
        likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to

C.      astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely
        a particular asteroid or comet will be to

D.      astronomers have developed a scale for rating the
        likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will

E.       astronomers have developed a scale that rates the
        likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may

答案位c问：be to结构不都错吗？e有什么错误，may应该比will be to更好吧

看过前面帖子都不明白，这题的定论是什么啊

E的错误太明显了,may和 likehood语境重复。。第一个排除。。

哦，茅塞顿开啊。但这题的定论是c还是d啊。应该是d吧

从语法角度讲，都有些别扭。A,B,E问题基本清楚，不懂的DX看前面讨论

D选线的表目的用了for ding，很恶心。

C更是用了be to do这种“貌似”主观将来的用法。

我本来选D。就是根据SC最高原则——逻辑意思。总不可能人家小行星自己要撞吧。

但是，仔细冷静后，正确答案就是C

be是倒装的结果。正序分句：a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to collide with Earth.

be likely to do sth。一个强大至极的表达——有可能性做某事。比D的will do更加的符合逻辑，完全符合SC各项指标。

本题对likely进行how，所以部分倒装，模拟了——be to do陷阱。专门杀高手。

顶~~
