20.  According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which has already been approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  
(A) According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which has already been approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  
(B) Already approaching 19 pounds a year in the United States, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  
(C) The National Pasta Association predicts by the twenty-first century that per-capita consumption  of pasta in the United States, which is already approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year.  
(D) By the twenty-first century, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, having already approached 19 pounds a year, will reach 30 pounds a year.  
(E) According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States is already approaching 19 pounds a year and will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  

答案E。问题有3：
1，A为什么不对？或说为什么现在的状况19 pounds 不用现在完成时，而是进行时？唉，时态的判断----我不变的软肋。

2，答案E难道没有改变句子重心的嫌疑吗？在我看来，划线部分主要想阐明will ......。而答案E却用平行的2个单句来平分秋色，合适吗？

3，选项C的that如果放在predicts 后面的话，是否也对，甚至优于E？

"achieve"

A的 which...会不会有修饰united states之嫌呢，原意应该是修饰consumption的吧

细细，我是胡说的，不要kick我

C中的介词短语放在句中,不如放在句末,这样修饰的是will reach 30 pounds a year的时间.

C. achieve明显的一个awkward

C. achieve明显的一个awkward

怎么awkward?讲讲好吗?

mjiehu

it deals with the lexicon knowledge of the word achieve
simply, per capita consumption cannot "achieve" 19 pounds a year, 'cause 19 pounds a year is not an objective, rather a fact, required by the verb "achieve"

2)to be successful in in particular kind of job.

(A) According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which has already been approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  
(B) Already approaching 19 pounds a year in the United States, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.  错在approaching的逻辑主语
(C) The National Pasta Association predicts by the twenty-first century that per-capita consumption  of pasta in the United States, which is already approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year.  错在改变了状语位置而引起歧义 by the twenty-first century 还有achieve
(D) By the twenty-first century, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, having already approached 19 pounds a year, will reach 30 pounds a year.  错在改变了状语位置而引起歧义 by the twenty-first century 还有having错
(E) According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States is already approaching 19 pounds a year and will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.

我也选了A 原因是E改变句子重心 但是现在做过很多题再来看 改变句子重心未必是错误选项 确实A的has been approaching和achieve不太好 读题还是要读仔细 我就把achieve给读漏掉了
