大全13--补充008（翻阅旧帖还是不解）

syxphoebe

13. A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but that they will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future.
(A) that they will, or could,
(B) that they would, or could,
(C) they will be or could
(D) think that they will be or could
(E) think the power stations would or could

已经翻阅旧帖。不过由于自身语法水平是在太弱。还是不理解。恳求各位指点。万分感谢。

问题：宾语从句中的that不能省略，所以排除E选择D。这点没问题。

          不过。不太理解will和would。

        （1）为什么will后面的be不能省略？

        （2）could这里只是一个情态动词吗？相当于can？

        （3）以前旧帖中有对would解释说是虚拟语气。would是表示不太可能发生的事情。所以不对。可是OG11th的137题中对于未来不确定的不是选择了would了吗？认为will是表示了一定会发生的。

137.
                The company announced that its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected it to and its business will improve in the second half of the year.

(A) had expected it to and its business will improve

(B) had expected and that its business would improve

(C) expected it would and that it will improve its business

(D) expected them to and its business would improve

(E) expected and that it will have improved its business

解释“The sentence must also use the subjunctive would rather than will for the company’s uncertain business improvement in the future. ”

可能问题有些弱弱的。不过实在是不明白。如有表述不清。请谅解。谢谢。

说下我的看法仅供参考。

13题即便是e有that，我还是会选d。in the future表明将来时，用would肯定是不合适了。另外，如果would用于表达可能性的话，和后面的could意思重复，or前后应该是两层不同的含义，一个是“会发生”，一个是“可能会发生”。

137题这是个宾语从句，前面主句用了过去时态，后面表达的是the company推测的后果，而不是客观上一定会发生的事情，所以用would。如果用will的话，宾语从句里的事情应该是不受外界影响的客观事实。

恩。好像清楚一些了。继续理解下。谢谢。

俺也不明白

大全注释上说In choice E, would is faulty because it suggests without warrant that the stations would be made safe if some unnamed conditions were met. 啥意思。。

uustar说的俺倒是明白。。

这个题还是要根据逻辑意思判断，D中or说明是两种不同的可能，一种是will be表示将来肯定发生，另一种是could  be表示可能将来发生,而E中的would 和 could be 都表示虚拟可能发生，相比之下还是D符合逻辑语意

这个我也不明白，不过我不明白的是they. 既可以指代jounalists 也可以是stations. 而且歧义也是ETS的最爱。所以选了唯一没有they还说得通的E，结果错了……

我也觉得的这里的they指代有歧义，这个是最严重的问题啊，指代不明直接可以把选项rule out了= =，所以我是直接选的E，不过同位语从句that不可以省略，E确实也有致命伤，个人认为这个题目没有正确选项。
