The brain is something of a stimulus reduction system, a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount of stimuli that reach the senses at any given moment. (A) a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount (B) a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite number (C) the means of reducing for comprehending the nearly infinite number (D) the means that reduces, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount (E) the means for reducing in order to comprehend the nearly infinite amount The answer is B, but why A is wrong? stimuli是stimulus的复数形式，鉴于amount只能修饰不可数名词，所以有amount所以有的项必错。 1. The commission acknowledged that no amount of money or staff members can ensure the safety of people who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant, but it approved the installation because it believed that all reasonable precautions had been taken. (A) no amount of money or staff members (B) neither vast amounts of money nor staff members (C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members (D) neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff (E) no matter how large the staff or how vast the amount of money the key is D why C is wrong? C项错在staff这个词的用法上，staff是个集合名词，几乎不用numbers of staff members这样的结构。a large staff几乎可以看做一个固定结构，可以背下来。
1. The complex tax dispute between the Covered Bridge Mall and Harris
Township is not likely to be adjudicated for several years, and, in the meantime, both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other. (A) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other (B) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other (C) each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other (D) each side is intent on creating difficulties for one another
(E) the sides are both intent on creating difficulties for each other The answer is C why B is wrong? The answer is C why B is wrong? 这道题还请高手指教，我个人觉得B也没错，但是我读起来应该选择C，语感吧……… 1. The department defines a private passenger vehicle as one registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds. (A) as one registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (B) to be one that is registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (C) as one that is registered to an individual and that has a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (D) to have a gross weight less than 8,000 pounds and being registered to an individual (E) as having a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds and registered to an individual why a is wrong? A逻辑错误，with跟在individual后面，也就是说这个成分是修饰individual的，但是a gross weight of less than 8000 pounds明显逻辑上错误。而C用两个并列的that从句避免了上述错误。
1. The distribution of mass within the core of the Earth, like the mantle that surrounds the core, has been deduced from the orbital behavior of the Earth and the motions of satellites controlled by the gravity of the Earth. (A) the mantle that surrounds the core (B) that within the mantle surrounding the core (C) that of the mantle surrounding the core (D) the mantle the core surrounds (E) the distribution of mass within the mantle that surrounds the core why a is wrong? like前后的结构一定要具有可比性，而且要平行。很明显这里比较的是the distribution of mass within the core of the Earth和 the distribution of mass within the mantle:我个人倾向于选B，对E的唯一保留是觉得完全重复前面的部分比较啰嗦。楼主有答案吗？麻烦告知一下
1. The economic forces which may affect the new public offering of stock include sudden downturns in the market, hedging and other investor strategies for preventing losses, loosening the interest rates in Washington, and fearing that the company may still be undercapitalized. (A) loosening the interest rates in Washington, and fearing that the company may still be undercapitalized (B) loosening the interest rates in Washington, and a fear of the company still being undercapitalized (C) a loosening of the interest rates in Washington, and fearing that the company may still be undercapitalized (D) a loosening of the interest rates in Washington, and a fear of the still undercapitalized company
(E) a loosening of the interest rates in Washington, and a fear that the company may still be undercapitalized A? why is wrong 平行结构，sudden downturns,hedgeing and other strategies都是名词短语，所以a loosening和a fear与上述短语并列更合理。
1. The Federalist papers, a strong defense of the United States Constitution and important as a body of work in political science as well, represents the handiwork of three different authors. (A) and important as a body of work in political science as well, represents (B) as well as an important body of work in political science, represent (C) and also a body of work of importance in political science is representing (D) an important body of work in political science and has been representative of (E) and as political science an important body of work too, represent the answer is b but here it is said a strong defense so why plural? 在同位语结构中，同位部分不一定要和主语的单复数相同，只要表示所指物相同就可以了。而且判断谓语单复数的关键在于主语，而不是同位语部分。所以要用复数作谓语。
1. The Forbidden City in Beijing, from which the emperors ruled by heavenly mandate, was a site which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission, on pain of death. (A) which a commoner or foreigner could not enter without any permission, (B) which a commoner or foreigner could enter without any permission only (C) which no commoner or foreigner could enter without permission, (D) which, without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could only enter,（C）
(E) which, to enter without permission, neither commoner or foreigner could do, why a is wrong? A有两个错误。without any permission就如同not any结构一样，需要用without和no来代替。而且not放的位置不同，句子的意思也会改变。请仔细体会“没有平民能进入”和“平民不能进入”在语气上的差异。 . The guiding principles of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department could have even a greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan. (A) even a greater significance for the economy than (B) a significance that is even greater for the economy than (C) even greater significance for the economy than have (D) even greater significance for the economy than do（D）
(E) a significance even greater for the economy than have why c is wrong?
这道题涉及到了比较主语时，谓语动词的替换问题。could+do这样的谓语要么用could直接代替，省略掉实意动词，或者用do代替实意动词。用have来代替的，只能是原来的谓语结构是have done这样的完成时，而题目中的have是实意动词，而非助动词。
1. The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union. (A) forbids a strike by the transportation union (B) forbids the transportation union from striking (C) forbids that there be a strike by the transportation union (D) will forbid the transportation union from striking（A）
(E) will forbid that the transportation union strikes we could use forbid from doing then why b is wrong here? forbid这个动词的用法有forbid sth, forbid sb to do prevent这个动词有prevent sb from doing sth的用法,而forbid没有
终于回答完了,关键是我的电脑不支持中文输入,那叫一个麻烦啊。 个人愚见,不敢打保票全都对了。希望能解答你的疑问。
