以下是引用rosmarine在2006-4-13 20:00:00的发言：
前面有人说根据前后平行原则一看就是C，我怎么看来看去看不出C平行在哪儿？A不是更平行吗？

对的, A 更加平行

Since February 对 because of the economy’s continued strength

the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times 对 analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will

支持 A

很明顯是A的啊,

C時態錯的離譜...

I found the original essay on New York Times:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE2DF163EF931A35752C1A962958260

"...Because of the economy's continued strength, analysts have been
predicting for weeks that the Fed would raise its short-term interest
rate target again in November"

the answer shoud be (A).


    

GWD7-Q40:

    

Since February, the
Federal Reserve has
raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of
the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that
the target will be raised again in November.

    

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

    

B.      
with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that
the target

    

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

    

D.     
due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been
predicting for weeks that
the target(predict要搭配未來式)

    E.

C吧。

过去作出的预测肯定得用WOULD。

盖棺定论，ETS的答案是A。。

从这题可以总结：

1.语法没问题的情况下，because of 优于 because 优于due to

2.A'B 优于 of 结构

3.for+时间，倾向于用完成时，同时原句的时态优先考虑，当然前提是没有逻辑硬伤。

4.predict that 不一定要用虚拟语气

请NN指正。。。

这张千年老贴，此题太WS，纠结到150多搂，AC还是没打出个结果……

好吧，俺来说说俺的看法，虽然我觉得大部分人看到100搂就流鼻血或者走人了……

AC之间，比较倾向A，因为整个题目的大前提是since february

A的错误是because of的wordy 和have been doing的怪异，C的错误是在since、for weeks这些词的猛烈轰击下，居然还很淡定的用了一般过去，相比之下，A好一点，也是矮子里面拔长子。

另外，我想说，这个题目应该拖出去枪毙……

这题是新prep破解SC2第172题，答案给的是A，多年的讨论终于尘埃落定。
