46. According to Interstudy, a nonprofit organization that studies health maintenance organizations (HMO’s), they estimate that, in comparison to last year, when only 36 percent of the nation’s 607 HMO’s was profitable, this year 73 percent will be.

答案 C 分号后面不是应该跟句子么。所以应该是it estimates that this year will be 73 percent. 原来那个难道是什么倒装么?语序怪怪的....

D项之中,分号之后的句子last year that was only 36 percent, 其中的that没有指称, 根据文意,that 应该指的是‘the percentage of the nation’s 607 HMO’s that are profitable', 但是这个对象并没有在前文中明确出现。 排除D
其他论坛上面有谈到: 已经有了according to Interstudy, 句中再出现代词it作主语,好像觉得比较蹩脚。 但是我觉得如果句子成分完整,指代清晰地话,蹩脚不能成为排除选项的唯一理由。(幸好有人称代词they的数不一致的情况可以排除他们)
我觉得分号后面不是不完整,只是省略了若干成分。 分号后面 是 it (主语)estimates (谓语)that 73 percent will be (宾语从句) 主句是完整的
从句中 73 percent will be 里面 73 percent 是主语 完整的应该是 70 percent of the nation’s 607 HMO’s will be 是谓语 省略了表语 profitable 补充完整是: 70 percent of the nation’s 607 HMO’s will be profitable
