396. In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.
(A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics
(B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers
(C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics
(D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers
(E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers
我做这道题目时，看到D选项在平行结构上与之文中没划线的内容对应的很好，在确保D选项没有语法错误后，选择了它，可正确答案是E白大侠在解释D选项时说SHOULD使逻辑意思不合理。我就想问了，怎么不合理了？对于E答案我可以WEAKEN 一下：它在平行结构上没有很好的对应啊！（难不成它是矮子里面拔将军？）

这是大家公认OG里的ETS出的一道变态题，OG上有解释。

我第一次作的时候也错了，但是没有考虑句子的逻辑意思。现在作的题多了，在想就很容易通了。

Choice E is best; it best indicates purpose for crossbreeding—partly to acquire. In A, in part that does not grammatically connect the underlined portion to the first part of the sentence (the independent clause). In both A and B, in part is not parallel with and partly in the non-underlined portion. Choice C causes a misreading, suggesting that the steers’ acquisition has caused the crossbreeding. D awkwardly and illogically shifts to the passive voice: certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers;) the steers, however, are not agents in the acquisition.

知道了，谢谢！

象这个题，要是不知道它的答案是什么，你们能知道这题目的意思吗？到底是D的意思对，还是E的意思对。ETS现在真的是黔驴技穷了，居然要在语法里面考养牛的知识了。
