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.
官方答案是D，我选的是C
下面是RON的解释：
In choosing between C and D, first consider the intended meaning. We're interested in the current likelihood that the comet/asteroid will strike Earth in the future..
In other words, How likely is it NOW that a comet/asteroid WILL STRIKE Earth?
This distinction comes into play when you look at the verbs in C and D. Different verbs.
C mentions "how likely a comet/asteroid will be". Nope. The likelihood is something that exists now, not in the future. (That's the definition of "likelihood": How probable does this event seem right now?
There's no "future likelihood" here. In the future, the event either happens or doesn't happen.)
D mentions the likelihood (as measured at present) that a comet/asteroid will collide (in the future) with Earth. That makes sense.
我感觉RON的意思是有likely的句子不能用将来时，比如说：the asteroid is likely to strike Earth是正确表达，但是the asteroid will be likely to strike Earth是不正确的表达。那我是不是可以理解为：如果C选项的“will be”改成“is”就可以算正确选项了？但是下面的例子用了Likely的同时也用了will啊（官方答案是E）：
Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as the current one.
(A) equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as
(B) equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
(C) equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
(D) as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
(E) as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
这样的话，是我错误理解RON的意思了吗？那第一题的C选项到底哪里有问题呢？RON说C选项的“to rate”比正确选项的“for rating”更符合题意，只是likely用法不对~~~~~有没有好心人知道这里的split的，求指点！！！
