我选A,答案选C.时态变化有点不明白，烦请高人指点。

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.

 

1. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
2. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
3. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
4. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
5. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

choose c

b和d很容易排除因为the target be raised不对

ace比较

a中have been pridicting“已经正在预测”语义没有c表达简洁和清楚

e " due to the fact of " is redundant

have been predicting 现在完成进行时不是表示一直在做？

predict that后面不能跟虚拟语气么？直接target be...应该也行吧？

再问一个，due to的用法有没有错？

似乎我见过的题用了due to绝大部分都是错的

我觉的在A 项中, continued 表示一个过去进行的动作,并且这个动作已经完成了,

而句子表达的strength还要继续延续strong, 所以A 错误.

要用because of the contiuning strength of economy, (不知道我这样改对否,请NN指导)

OG里面好象有这种类似的题,但是不知道具体的题号.

虽然我选的是C, 但是,我也明白为什么要用predicted ?

还有,我觉的Predict后面不能用虚拟, 虚拟表示未实际发生的动作,但是predict表示是预测,不知道最后这个动作是否会实际发生,所以不能用虚拟.
