D. to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to

   one-fourth of its stores.

D.     having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of

不明白答案为什么会是C，announce +that从句， annonce +sth，可C这两个都不符合呀？A也不对，从句中they逻辑指代对象应为stores. NN指教啊..............

说一下我的看法：D中的“a scale for rating”犯了ETS的大忌，不能用for doing。

C中的to be是和likely构成likely to do的短语，没有什么问题。

第二道题可能是announce和know什么的一样，也符合那少数几个动词宾语从句可以不加that的条件吧。不过可以从排除其他选项来确认，剩下几个选项确实都有致命错误。

第一题应该选C.支持楼上对C的解释。但是，for doing不应该是绝对不可以吧，觉得应该要根据不同的情况。

第二题也只有选C了。但是，that引导的宾语从句何时可以省略，好像没有什么说法。是否是在间接引语的情况下，或与间接引语类似的主观谓语动词（比如，know,think等等）的情况下，省略不算错误呢？

请大家一起讨论讨论。

以前上XDF时老师说，宾语从句的that是绝对不可省略的，但是例外无处不在啊。

这题我看了很多次，觉得那个announce后没有that怎么样都别扭,不过又去翻了语法书，看见间接引语后的that都可以省略。

eg:He said,"The committe are quarrelling among themselves."

——>He said (that) the committe were qurrelling among themselves.

又记下一个例外点！

其实前面的帖子有过总结的，既然翻到这里，我就把我自己抄下来的和大家分享吧：

宾从不用that的动词包括：

say,see,know,hear,propose,understand,be hold...

欢迎补充。当然，能不省最好还是不要省。

for doing也不是完全不行，只是在非固定用法的情况下不如to do（xdf说法），这道题我在C和D犹豫了很长时间.............

这道题我手里的答案就是A

soar

第一题,应该是C，to表目的

第二题,没有听说announce的宾语从句可以省略that的，而唯一有that的A却有两处硬伤：单复数和主被动，如果不是题目错误，只能勉强选C,其实D如果没有to be的话更好一点，看来没有让人信服的正确答案。

请指教。
