GWD7-Q40 有争论否？？？？？？？

以下是引用dustinxing在2008-9-4 22:42:00的发言：

predict that ... 后面从句需要用虚拟吗？

你的这个答案是哪本书上的啊？这题怎么是用“虚拟”来排除的呢？

按照我的理解，用“虚拟”来排除答案的话，应该排除那些用了虚拟语态的啊（应为predict后面没有必要用虚拟）

宾语从句需要用虚拟语气：

1）表示建议：advocate/advise/move/recommend that ... do ...

      sb. suggest/propose that ... do ...(如果是sth.作主语就不需要虚拟)

2)  表示命令：order/decree/mandate/command/demand/direct that ... do ...

3)  表示要求：request/require/insist that ... do ...

愿分享

貌似已经有定论了,predict后面可以不用虚拟.既然OG12也这样说,那么这道题就是选A了.

刚才有翻阅了前人的讨论，大有收获，虽然这题依然没有一致的结果，但我说说我的理解

首先这不是虚拟

主要是在A和C之间抉择

最重要的是句意，2月，美联储已经提高目标5次，而同时经济继续走高，所以经济学家预计目标在11月份目标会再次被提高 C中的过去式在句意上没法说的通

此题主要AC争议吧，主要还是时态问题，since February放在句首，修饰整个句子，此为完成时的标志。

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.

 

A.    because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts
            have been predicting for weeks that the target will
        

B.    with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
        因果改伴随（非虚拟，缺would）

C.    because the economy continues
            strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
               Verb+adj?

D.    due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
        （非虚拟，缺will）

E.     due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

B：因果状语改伴随状语，GMAT常用错误；predict 从句用将来时，不用虚拟语气

C：continues strong实义动词+形容词，比较诡异，从没见过，predicted一般过去时错误，句首Since February是现在完成时的标志

D：predict 从句用将来时，不用虚拟语气；due to在书面语中一般作表语或后置定语，作状语一般用because of

E：the fact of表达累赘；如果predicted为一般过去时，从句中will应用would，due to同D选项。

GWD7-Q40:

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.



A.because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will（because of优于due to；由于for weeks表从现在一直持续到将来，这里时态要用现在进行完成时；will表示预计的可能性）

B.with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target（+will）（过去时predicted不合本句的时间线和逻辑，错；with the economy’s strength continuing在这里既可理解为表伴随状态也可理解为表原因，易产生歧义，错）

C.because the economy continues(省略to be) strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would

D.due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target（+will）

E.due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will
