请教SC大全53和 59 题…谢谢大家
53.    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.
(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.
答案是E，我选A，请问A是哪里错呢？是因为WHICH的指代不清楚，还是是因为现在完成进行式的关系呢？


59.     Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.
(A) if they did not hold it, their grip in Algeria was always insecure
(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
(D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria
(E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it
请问大家这题答案为什么是C？ 我看了很久才勉强选出E，其它选项有什么比较明显的错误吗？  

谢谢大家了：）

(c) their grip on algeria "was not ever secure" (x) if they did not hold it
(d) "without that" (x), they could never be secure about their grip on algeria

  E>B>A in expressing the meaning

59题的答案不是（B)吗？ 简洁明了
（a)错误明显，单是时态就可排除了
(c)中not ever, 错误如此明显，out!  
(d) witout that, that 用法错误。
（e)  因从句里不能用倒装，马上排除。

感谢你们的回答，很清楚
那请问53题的原因是我之前所提的吗？

顶一下！
53题E的确比A好，但想问一下A有没有什么明显的错误？

ecsniffer

up!

53题，是不是因为A里面的非限定性定语从句修饰对象不明确？

请问从句里为什么不能用倒装？
