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.

C the best

我觉得如果要用how从句的话，后面应该用形式主语it引出，所以正确的结构应该为

astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely it will be for a particular asteroid or comet to

所以我认为该题应该选D，虽然当中用for来表示目的可能不是最好，但这并不一定是错的

如，大全442

1.        In three centuries—from 1050 to 1350—several million tons of stone were quarried in France for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some tens of thousands of parish churches.

(A) for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some

(B) in order that they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some

(C) so as they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some

(D) so that there could be built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and（A）

(E) such that they could build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and

to rate 不定式表示目的,而且不定式的动作发出者很明确。

相对而言， for rating, 和 that 从句都显得不贴切和冗长

谢谢楼上回复，但我没说C中的to rate错

我同意，但是撇开rate的问题，将C的how从句倒成疑问句会显得十分别扭

how likely will be a particular asteroid or comet  to collide with Earth？

斑竹同志意下如何？不知这样古怪的结构造不造成C的错误

mba06

c, .    astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely

a particular asteroid or comet will be to

如果把how的問局改成陳述句。

a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to

"be likely to" is perfect。c is the best

弱问一下

原句的may可以换成will吗？

"will be to" is a correct structure? i disagree with that.

同意MBA06的解释

但新东方老师说过be to do错，may的添加和缺失错。没想到两个错误同时出现竟然是对的。苦闷
