[原创]2道PREP语法题目答案质疑

1-37

One report concludes that many schools do not have, or likely
to have, enough computers to use them effectively.

(A) or

(B) nor

(C) or are

(D) nor are they

(E) nor are not

答案是D

但是如果是D的话，句子还原是

One report concludes that many
schools do not have, nor are they
            likely to
have, enough computers to use them
effectively.

但是根据意思显然，第一个they指代school 而第二个them指代计算机
        所以代词指代是有问题的

我建议选B，尽管这里省略了are不太好
        但是毕竟比D好点

1-83

Stock levels for domestic crude oil are far lower than in
past years, leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being
disrupted in the Middle East or to any
unexpected consumer demand growth possibly prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures.

(A) leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of
oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East
or to any unexpected consumer demand growth possibly

(B) leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of
oil supply disruptions in the Middle East or
any unexpected growth in consumer demand that might be

(C) leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to
any hints of oil supplies that are disrupted in the Middle
East or to any unexpected growth in consumer
demand as was possibly

(D) resulting in the fact that domestic oil prices are
vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth
possibly

(E) resulting in the fact of domestic oil prices that are
vulnerable to any hints of oil supply disruptions in the Middle
East or to any unexpected growth in consumer demand that might be

答案是B，但是根据原文意思，any unexpected growth in consumer demand显然是和any
hints of oil supplies并列，作为vulnerable to 的宾语，如果省略则可能造成和domestic oil prices并列的错误说法，所以后面的to是不能省略的。

答案我支持C

1-37, I have the same problem.

1-83, I think B is correct. "any unexpected growth in consumer demand" cannot parallel with "domestic oil prices", otherwise the structure would be "leave any unexpected growth in consumer demand that might be...".

One report concludes that many schools do not have, or likely
to have, enough computers to use them effectively.

(A) or
(B) nor
(C) or are
(D) nor are they
E) nor are not

答案是D

是选D，没有错， NOR ARE THEY，THEY是指MANY SCHOOLS，而 后面的THEM是指COMPUTERS。前面主句是否定句，用NOR ARE THEY则使原句很CLEAR。指的是学校而不是报告。

我的翻译是：一项报告表明很多学校没有或可能没有足够的电脑来进行有效的使用。
