57. That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault : Alvin Tofler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.

(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault

(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault

(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology

(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said

c为什么不对呢？

确实很顺...然是你把it都还原以后就很乱了，第二个it没法解释，不是强调句（强调fault后面该跟that）也不是形式主语。

不觉得C很罗嗦吗？我倾向选D.

可不可以这样理解，Alvin Tofler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.主语是人物Alvin Tofler。既然这句话是前面一句话的解释，则It can hardly be said that 后面的主语也应该是人物，这样这个句子的逻辑不会产生偏差。

XDF说在同一个句子里，同一代词要指代相同事物，这里IT指代不同事物~~~~你可以这么理解，指代不同事物后在对于语义的理解上就会有障碍，相当肯定D更好

长猪的翅膀

C中 it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
加粗部分在原文中为主句，C中改变其主从关系，违反了尽量忠实原文的原则

2个it 做形式主语不就乱套了吗，所以C不好

我的问题在于E选项，the fact that...can hardly be said, 这个结构错在哪里呢？

(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

第一个形式主语的指代是that 从句，也就是说that*** can hardly be said
第二个it做形式主语，真正的主语在哪里？按照这句话，it -> who显然不对

个人认为E有两个问题， 1. the fact that 很罗嗦， That 从句就可以表达意思了
                                    2. 这种被动语态很罗嗦，GMAT doesn't like it.
