OG11th-92,93，也就是OG10th-218，222；感觉OG的解释不是很清楚，甚至有些不负责任，很想看看OG11th中有无改进，放到一起讨论一下一定会有益处，但我没有OG11，不知哪位XDJM可以邦忙贴出来，拜谢
原题如下：
218. Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be published.
(A) the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results
In this sentence, English idiom requires one of two paradigms: x ordered y to be z’ed or x ordered that y be z’ed. Choice E, the best answer, employs the second of these paradigms. Choice A mixes the two paradigms (levels... to be measured and that the results be published), producing a sentence that lacks parallelism. C and D use neither paradigm and are thus unidiomatic. Also, in D, the pronoun their has no logical and grammatical antecedent. Choice B unidiomatically employs the verb should (not in either paradigm); also, the pronoun their does not agree in number with seawater, its most logical antecedent.
222. By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.
(A) enabling it to withhold from the public
(B) for it to withhold from the public
(C) for withholding disclosure to the public of
(D) that enable them to withhold from public disclosure
(E) that they can withhold public disclosure of
Choice A is best: enabling... clearly modifies powers, it refers logically and grammatically to the Central Intelligence Agency, and to withhold from the public is concisely and idiomatically phrased. In choices B and C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the “-ing” modifier to introduce the phrase describing powers. In choices C, D, and E, withholding disclosure is wordy and imprecise, since it is really the identities that are to be withheld. The plural pronouns them in D and they in E do not agree with the singular Agency, and that in E mistakenly introduces a new independent clause rather than a modifying phrase for powers.
