Q18:

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

 

1. to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to

2. to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them

3. for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to

4. with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to

5. in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to

   Answer: C

MINE:A

A, to make 不好，因为spacecraft不是使动者; hope will enable them to非常的awkward。

B, which没有明确指代对象，现在进行时无必要

C，非常好！

D, than ever错，and which错

E, in order to make使得spacecraft是使动者，错！现在进行时也无必要。

hope+that从句，不能直接+宾语              A错

应该选B吧？

C里有more 没有 than怎么会对呢？

我选A,C在语法上没错,但把原句的逻辑关系写没了,不够A好.spacecraft不是一个死物,是由科学家操控的,当然可以做目的动作.

hope是动词，will enable也是动词，连续两个动词错。况且that指的是measurements，后面就不用再加them了。所以我觉得A错

On Jan 19, Sony, Samsung, Philips, Matsushita, and Intertrust announced that they're developing what they hope will become a uniform DRM software standard, called Marlin, for MP3 files and digital video.

上面是我从businessweek找来的例句,还有很多,they hope 是插入语.

我选A，觉得C错的原因是它改变了原意，整个句子都是在讲NEAR，而scientists不是句子的focus，而且是那些更准确的测量使得科学家能够理解太阳系的形成，而C却分成了两个句子，后面的句子只是说科学家希望他们能够理解太阳系的形成，和前面NEAR所讲的内容，没有逻辑上的连接

我认为这里的插入语不是hope will而是what they hope, 去掉what they hope就是一个完整的句子. 所以题目中的that scientists hope will enable them to understand how...显然是错误的.

我认为A 中的to make没有错, 飞船是人操控的啊

只能说C相对A好,因为A有致命错误
