159、这题的关键是句子意思，pay ... for 什么？我理解是pay for 在test-drive的时候把人家的里程表给disconnect了，所以应该不是pay for car，而是having test-driven cars with their odometers disconnected的这个行为。

243、it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant出现了代词指代的混乱问题，it 和 its指代了不同的东西，it是形式主语，而its是of [the coordination of monetary policy]
