哈哈～太好了，在２９９页，Ｄ　due to is not the correct idiom,所以可以立刻排除

Two new studies indicate that many people become obese more due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating.

(A)  due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating

(B)  due to their bodies burning calories too slowly than to eating too much

(C)  because their bodies burn calories too slowly than that they are overeaters

(D)  because their bodies bum calories too slowly than because they eat too much

(E)  because of their bodies burning calories too slowly than because of their eating too much

A  Due to the fact that is wordy and awkward；the two Parts of the comparison are not parallel．

大全879, og-175, sec15-06

The members of a comparison (more X than Y) should be expressed in parallel form. D, the best choice, correctly uses parallel clauses introduced by because. The clauses themselves are clear and direct. Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy. Furthermore, the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies’) since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning (that is, it answers the question, “Whose burning?”). A, B, and C do not use parallel forms for the two members of the comparison. In addition, A and B use due to unidiomatically to mean because; properly used, due to is synonymous with attributable to.

大干应该在a和c之间产生了（废话）

a和c最大的区别就是时态了。整个句子所要陈述的事情从feb（过去）一直到nov（将来），我们可以随便选个时间点在中间作为now(现在）。

从feb以来，the federal reserve has raised its ....five time, 并且由于economy's continued strength(经济持续的增长，注：过去某一事件开始增长，并还在持续) analysts have been prdicting for weeks that target will.........................

have been doing应该表示从过去某一时刻开始，并且动作要持续到将来。符合analysts的情况，他们应该不会停止预测经济的走势。

所以我觉得a是正确的。

对c来说，时态很乱。不用去管前边的has been.单单来看后边的因果关系，原因是现在时，结果却是过去式。因果关系里，是不是应该先有因后又果呢？

还有一点想讨教的是economy的所有格。看看各大报纸和电视台，我想人们已经接受把economy作为有生命的东西了，毕竟这个system很是复杂。所以economy's sth地用法是可以接受的。

以下是引用bon在2004-6-17 18:51:00的发言：

When rates were raised in 1985, postal service officials predicted they would make further rate increases unnecessary for at least three years.

(A) they would make further rate increases unnecessary

(B) they would mean that further rate increases would not be needed

(C) that it would not be necessary for further rate increases

(D) that the increase would make further rate increases unnecessary（D）

(E) further rate increases will not be needed

Contrary to the scholarly wisdom of the 1950’s and early 1960’s that predicted the processes of modernization and rationalization would gradually undermine it, ethnicity is a worldwide phenomenon of increasing importance.

(A) would gradually undermine it

(B) to be a gradual undermining of it

(C) would be a gradual undermining of ethnicity

(D) to gradually undermine ethnicity（A）

(E) gradually undermining it

大全里找到的题，og里的全是一般时

既然ＯＧ能找到，当然听ＯＧ的了

考试的时候就选predict would 认栽了，省时间

做的時候選A...但想想選C!!

原句句意應該是 因為經濟"未來"會續強, 所以分析師們"預測"...

 

c. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would ...正確

1. because the economy will continue strong,...

    副詞子句需用現在式代替未來式, 改continues...

2.  分析師幾個禮拜前做了預測..(for weeks 可以用在過去式) ..

     過去式強調"作預測"這件事, 現在完成式強調到"現在都還在做預測"...文法都OK!..我覺得...

 

a. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will

1.economy's continued strength..經濟被持續的力量...怪!

   ( strength : Fphysical power and energy/EELING/BELIEF )

  

    而且要不就用 continuous 最佳, continuing (active) 其次, continued(positive)..非常不通!

  

    because the economy continues strong, ...

                            S.               V.            SC.

   配合 because of +N...改成動名詞用法應該寫成..

   

    because of  the economy's continuing strong, ...

vote for A

理由有二.

for weeks意味着要用完成时

只有当due to替换成caused by后无语法错误,才能用due to.

以上是明显的依据,如果做每一道题都想着特殊情况(如:predicted for weeks),那就没时间答完所有题了.
