6. After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.
A tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two or help
B. tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help
C. tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping
D tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping
E. tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere I the world within two hours or help

这题很多人选A，不知THAT从句修饰什么，E中虽然COULD 和 CAPABILITY 重复，但结构还是清晰的。

部分题目点评，个人意见，仅供参考。
1. 翻译：此书的失败并不在于其缺少对科学细节的关注，而是在于其对海洋世界里生命与死亡景象的描述上，该描述带有情感暗示（色彩），这种情感暗示（色彩）降低了作品的可信度。
（A） without emotional overtones 有修饰world之嫌疑。
（c）whose 似乎也有修饰歧义，但根据对文章的理解， whose 似乎逻辑可修饰depiction。比较(a)和（c）, 我倾向与（C）,尽管（C）也不完美。

t2应为a, d的marking应用一般时态.且been able to语法不错,但此处与原文想表达的逻辑意思不符合.

My answers are same as nettalker's: AAABCAEDBE. I'm also pretty sure of them :-)

mindfree、pumpkin、genj都跑哪去了，牛人都来给个说法啊，答案到底是什么？

請教大牛。
10 題中有以上3題考到了關於“WITH/WITHOUT” 短语的用法。(1，2，7)。有几个令我困惑的问题。

(1) WITH/WITHOUT” 短语就近修饰主句中的哪个成份。我一直以为它应该修饰主句中主语的动作。但是在第2题中， “with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk" 应该是修饰 “layers of sediment” (主句中的宾语)。

(2)WITH/WITHOUT” 短语前有逗号和没逗号的区别。

(3)WITH/WITHOUT” 短语放在什么地方不会引起歧义。如果说第7题，"without the aid of telephoto lenses“放在“lions playing in trees”后会引起歧义，那么第1题里“with emotional overtones ”放在 “marine world”后就不会引起歧义吗。
