Section 11
12 Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.
(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves
(B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves
(C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
(D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves(C)
(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
Why not D?
讨论结果:
D) exhausting逻辑主语不清, 可以理解为Alaska或fund.
(Alaska) intends fund to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting
after exhausting更可能修饰最前出现的动词sustain. 这样exhausting的逻辑主语为fund意思表达错。
两点疑惑:
1. Intend的对象是fund吧?
2.fund 怎么能exhausting oil呢? 所以exhausting还是应该修饰主语吧?还是说after在这里做副词,修饰intend的对象fund?
Section 19
7. Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity.

(B) of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
(C) by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
(D) by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity(A)
(E) by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity
C为什么不合理?
