[求助]GWD26－17,这套问题挺多的

     GWD-26-Q17

Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A.     a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood

that a particular asteroid or comet may

B.     a scale that astronomers have developed rates how

likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to

C.    astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely

a particular asteroid or comet will be to

D.    astronomers have developed a scale for rating the

likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will

E.     astronomers have developed a scale that rates the

likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.

此题答案是C,

我在C与D间选择,还是不确定

C中的will be to,太奇怪了

D的话,for rating 在这里没to rate好;还有形容词优于名词,这里的likelihood没C的likely 好

C中的be to去掉了,我就觉得很完美;

难道be to可以表示不确定的意思;可是石林说,be to表示主观意愿,在GMAT中，一般都是不对的啊!

晕了!

请NN指教!

支持D。

C中will be to是大忌。D中for rating的确没有to rate好，但是likelyhood比C的likely好，因为rate及物动词需要一个动作对象，名词好。

对吗?

还有其他用法吗?

谢谢MM!

支持D,

will be to 太不好了

'for rating' is ok

I see!

D

C：will be to错误

will＝be to都表将来

马尔代夫

我选的D. that从句解释likehood. 因此E中likehood后的of是错误的.c就是will to be不好

原文from New York Times:

To help deal with public fascination -- and sometimes
undue alarm -- about possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have
adopted a scale that rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or
comet will collide with Earth.

Seems D is a better choice. "Will be to" used here is not correct IMO.

Some correct useage of "will be to":
The approach for Republicans to win 2006 mid-term election will be to define foes and change the subject.
