Choice A, C, and D use hopefully to mean “it is hoped” rather than “in a hopeful manner”; such usage still meets with strong and widespread opposition from editors, lexicographers, and authors of usage handbooks. In addition, because they misuse like, choices C and D are potentially ambiguous. As a comparative preposition, “like” relates noun to noun, not verb to verb; i.e., C and D seem to say that gravity waves do not interact with matter that is like electromagnetic waves. Choice e is incorrect because such as, like like , connects matter and waves, not interact and do. Choice B is the best answer for this difficult question. 第8题的解释: The corrected sentence must have a compound main verb view…but (verb); that is, the best answer above must begin with a verb that can be linked with view to complete the construction. Consequently, choices A, B, and C are incorrect. In choice E, would is faulty because it suggests without warrant that the stations would be made safe if some unnamed conditions were met. Choice D is best: that, although not essential, is preferable here; they is better than the needless repetition of power stations in choice E; and the verb tenses are correct. The question is more difficult than the average.
