好贴，才看到，这的的确是个问题，我与楼主有相同的疑问！！对于第三题我的理解是a trend that will。。。trend后面的定语从句是关键！因为题目要表达的意思是这个趋势将会怎么样，那么用将来时就比分词好得多，因为分词无法表示将来时态！

不知道能不能这么理解，第一题中，句子主谓是 have observed 。。。，后面用概括性的词finding恰到好处！因为都是发现

第二题，主谓 it will purchase ，这个句子所要表达的理念不能用deal这个词去概括？？？？其实这题上战场做我肯定错！！

抛砖引玉，期待大家各抒己见

刚搜了一下贴，第二题，还是时态的问题！！！原句用的是that will make说明原句要强调的是这个deal将会使该公司成为最大的生产商，注意需要用将来时，part of a deal making。。。作为前面句子的概括性同位语，我们假设它语法上没有问题，他最大的问题在时态上，不能够表达出原文要表达的将来的意思，所以错！而这个小问题在第一题中是没有的，finding后不需要表达将来意思，所以finding同位语用的正确。in conclusion，以后用同位语，用定从，小心时态

38. Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.
(A)    Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there              which指代不明，同时不能带整句
(B)    Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings      where如果作为地点状语从句，逻辑不通；作为非限制性定语，指代不明确
(C)    Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity                     its的it指代不明确，无法指代定语名词
(D)    sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area
(E)    sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there               consistent with没有修饰的对象，修饰整句应该是副词属性？

A) million, which is part of a deal that will make   which指代不明
B) million, a part of a deal that makes             将来的事情，时态不好
C) million, part of a deal making                   将来的事情，时态不好
D) million as a part of a deal to make              这里事实上可以有2个解读，to make修饰purchase，作为目的；一种是to make修饰a deal，两种的意思是有区别。当然，前面一种的话，最后的it要转为itself，理论上可以分辨出是修饰a deal的，但是看起来太费劲
E) million as part of a deal that will make

同位语从句的先行词只能是名词，而且仅限于idea，plan，fact，theory，promise，hope，news，doubt，truth，information，suggestion，question， thought，belief，conclusion等少数名词。第二题中的part貌似不能作为先行词使用~个人观点，仅供参考哦~

The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.
A) million, which is part of a deal that will make  
B) million, a part of a deal that makes            
C) million, part of a deal making                  
D) million as a part of a deal to make            
E) million as part of a deal that will make
同意5楼.

此外as a deal that will make it ...和 as a deal to make it ...的区别是：前者是结果，后者是目的。本题没有强调company的并购的目的是变成行业第一，只是说并购后就变为行业第一了，所以意思不相同。
