Q23: GWD-11-33

After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

 

A.       tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

B.       tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help

C.       tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping

D.      tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or helping

E.       tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

The key is A. Could someone explain it to me? Thanks!

这一题我选E但是错了。
原句是 that ....一直到句号是修饰主词a new type of jet engine。
that里面的平衡是 propel or help

但是E, 除了have the capability to罗唆外，平衡也会有问题，可能会变成 have 跟 help平衡。

题目中有倒装，正常语序应该是a new type of jet engine that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit is being tested. 用倒装结构可以避免头重交轻。

非常感谢！但此倒装是由什么引起的呢？做题时应怎样判断呢？

其实这个倒装蛮阴险的，看上去确实有that修饰成分不明的问题。我觉得唯一的判断标准就是另外四个都有明显的错误，而A只有一个that从句的位置不好，有作为宾语从句的可能，但是这样的结构在杨鹏长难句里很常见，所以就选这个相对较好的了。
