According to some economists, the Julydecrease in unemployment so that it was the lowest in

two years suggests that the gradualimprovement in the job market is continuing.

(A) so that it was the lowest in twoyears

(B) so that it was the lowest two-yearrate

(C) to what would be the lowest in twoyears

(D) to a two-year low level

(E) to the lowest level in two years  

考点: 简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

1) so that可以修饰动作,但不能修饰名词,例: I stopped sothat you could catch up.

(A) so that不能修饰名词the decrease

(B) 错误同A选项；lowesttwo-year rate改变了原意。

(C) would表现将来的某一种情况,而原句表现的是已经被大家所知的一个事实,    因此would的使用

不正确; to what wouldbe…结构复杂

(D) two-year low level不符合习惯用法,且意思模糊

(E)  正确, 使用了正确的表达方式: decrease… to the lowest level

句子结构: According to…,the July decrease in unemployment… suggests that…

请问E选项二者之间比较还能用最高级？无法理解！！！

楼主理解有偏差，语义表达的是“降到两年内的最低值”，并不是两者的比较
