TN-05-请教3道语法题,不胜感激!

GWD7-Q4:

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

 

A.    movies—less than those

B.    movies—fewer than have been

C.    movies, which is less than those

D.    movies, a number lower than the people

E.     movies, fewer than the ones

我选了E,答案是B

首先是破折号的用法,为什么不用逗号用破折号呢?是不是逗号只能用来表示后面的是同位语,而这里显然不是,故不用。

然后是E项的错误在哪里?the ones 不对么?

GWD7-Q15:

The city has proposed a number of water treatment and conservation projects the cost of which raises water bills high enough so that even environmentalists are beginning to raise alarms.

 

A.    the cost of which raises water bills high enough so that

B.    at a cost raising water bills so high that

C.    at a cost which raises water bills high enough so

D.    whose cost will raise water bills so high that

E.     whose cost will raise water bills high enough so that

答案是E,我选的是B

我理解是时态问题,proposed是只提议,这还只是个提案,应该用将来时。EB不对

B还有其它错误么?at a cost有没有模糊修饰的问题?

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

B.    with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target

C.    because the economy continues 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

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

答案是C,我选的是       A

首先,时态为什么是过去时?不是for weeks,一个时间段,不应该用完成时么?

有这样的固定搭配么?continue+adj.?

不是nn,说下我的看法。
4。the ones特指前面集合名词本身,而those可以泛指某一类,这里用前者显然不符合逻辑。破折号其实我觉得和中文用法没啥大区别,一般作补充解释,插入语或者同位语修饰的是靠近破折号前面的部分。逗号的用法更广泛一些,根据需要可以修饰前面整个句子。
15。答案应该是d吧。将来时态根据整个句子的意思是对的。at a cost 意思是以。。。的代价,或者花了多少钱,用在这里不合适。
