好像这道题gwd给的答案是D,大家怎末都在讨论A和C? 我想问的是D答案中省略了情态动词should吗？predicate that 后面省略should ,有这样的用法吗？

我这边看到管老师给的答案40题是C,不是D呀

C中，continue 怎么可以和adj. (strong)连用呢？我支持A

可以的：

continue unabated/apace/unchecked (=continue at the same high speed or level)

The flood of refugees continued unabated.

我觉得答案是C

1 due to一定错，due to有attribute 的意思，因该用because这类词；DE out

没有那么绝对8

due to preposition

because of something

The court of inquiry ruled that the crash was due to pilot error.

She has been absent from work due to illness.

The restaurant's success was due largely to its new manager.

Attendance at the meeting was small, due in part to (=partly because of) the absence of teachers.

3 AC比较的问题：人们作判断的依据是经济走强这个event，而不是strength这个事物，所以A不对。时态的问题，have been doing本身没有问题，但是一个人可能已经预测，也可能正在预测，但他能已经预测了又正在预测么？同一件事他要预测多少回呀~

同意这一点

analysts have been predicting代表着一种ongoing 的状态，而continued strength表示既成事实

不过如果实战中出这题，C是损了点

1.這題答案是C，有校正過的

2.姑且不論 for weeks 要搭配什麼時態，個人認為A選項中的have been predicting相當累贅，最起碼OG沒看過ETS考現在完成進行式，比起C，這部份遠遠不如

3.就because來說，能用動詞敘述，就儘可能少用名詞，OG的解釋中有介紹過，A是because of + n, C則是 because+ economy continues strong，以簡潔來說也是比A 強

4.due to 不選，with不選，所以AC挑一個，C是比A好一點

我认为C一定对. 大家都忽视了一点, 就是AND连接的前后2个成份必须是对称的. 因此一看便知只有C满足这条件.

大家不要再争了，A是正确的。这道题主要考时态，只有A时态前后一致。

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

1, I am not sure whether the tenses in these 2 clauses can be different. If yes, then the "continues" in C is OK.

2, Does the " analysts predicted " still falls in the scope of "Since February"? If not, then C is better.

Wanting advices or comments......

C, my answer.  

1. Nothing wrong with ' continues strong'

2. ' For weeks ' in C determines the past tense of 'predicted' , so no contradiction against the tense of 'continues' .

3. "Since February" explicitly does not cover those parts after ' , and ', however consider it from logic meaning or others.

4. Using 'would' , because of past tense.

5. ' have been predicting'  in A is wordy and gives no sense,  unless such an understanding that another analysts or others  were or are predicting after one or some had or have done. But if so, then the tense of ' will'  in A  inconsistency .

坚决支持26楼的说法，答案C

crazyep

我也同意C ，一点补充，关于predict。  个人感觉predict 是一个瞬间动词。不存在持续性。

I am predicting that ..... ,  读上去是不是很怪 ？！

I predicted that ... 是不是要好的多 ？
