8.Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make （small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their） production history.
(A) small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their
(B) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their
(C) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in
(D) more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their
(E) more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in
ans:C
为什么要加C中that are ，为何不选D?

9.Crises in international diplomacy (do not always results from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find) themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down.
(A) do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find
(B) do not always results from malice; nations, just as individuals, finding
(C) do not always results from malice; nations, such as individuals, can find
(D) aren’t always the results of malice; nations in the same way that individuals can find
(E) aren’t resulting always from malice; just like individuals who can find
ans:A
A中分号后面for nations, like individuals, can find) themselves ……只是一个原因状语从句，并非独立的主句，这对吗？为何不选C

solome

8  C中加上that are 使比较清晰。D不能选因为more fuel-efficient small cars 模糊修饰
9  C不能选因为such as individuals是表示举例，和nations不和逻辑。
    另外应该不是状语从句，两部分应该是并列的，因为使用的分号。不过我对 A 后半部
   分也有一些的不确定，但是另外的选项显然都不对。

gemj

同意solome的解释。

另外8题C读起来也更舒服一些，D中their显得多余和AWKWARD。

9中的FOR肯定有问题，这毕竟是流传出来的题目，原题肯定不是这样。你心中有数就可以了。

8题more fuel-efficient small cars 模糊修饰 类似OG中的一道题，还要好好学习，谢谢：）
9. A中的like是将两个名词进行比较，所以没有for应该选A
谢谢solome  和gemj!

yuandong

这个at any time是否包括现在啊？如果是这样的话，ABE都不能够选择的。DE意思模糊

8T：

C去掉that are后，改变原意，因为that引起的是限制性定语从句，去掉that are后重心很模糊，甚至重心会改变

lexie

9题的看法同意3楼的

但是 A unable to back down 前面为什么没有连词连接？ 这样表示句子结构没有问题麽？

但是 A unable to back down 前面为什么没有连词连接？ 这样表示句子结构没有问题麽？

themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down.

you can change it into:

themselves locked into difficult positions and unable to back down.

attention: no comma in between
