1,原句的大概意思：收入税标定指数旨在消灭固定税的增长。（Income tax indexing is intended to eliminate the constant tax increase ），很明显的主谓宾，d,e改了意思：the constant tax increase 变为constantly increasing taxes ，“固定税的增长“变为“不停增长的税”，所以肯定错！我们接着看原句the constant tax increase 后面用的是一个定语从句进行修饰，而c改为用一个连词because,改变了原句的主次，所以错。b,简直错到离谱，as a result of  individuales ？！（being pushed by inflation  into higher tax brackets来修饰individuales），更不用说inflation pushes individuales into higher tax brackets存在主动优于被动的优势了。

2，b:污染输出是反复的经常的行为，所以用一般现在时；只有两个国家，用the other就可以了。
    c: next 表示下一个，这个意思是一个一个往下传，错！
    d:  one another,只有两个国家，所以错！时态也不对。
    e: each other 已经表示互相了；还来个both, 罗嗦。错！

3，这道题需要对句子意思有些理解，先看原句大概的主干为：公司们发现了一个合理的快速解决方案；基本合理，但是看到“dramatically reduced costs are the advantages ”减少成本，而成本居然是优点，也就是意味着减少优点，和前面的合理化方案矛盾，意思不通；所以错，放下。c,e 没有宾语，明显错!比较b和d,b将原句原来的主次修饰改为了并列结构，不原句不够忠实，相比之下，d显得更好一些。

不对！！d也错了！！a resonably quick resolution of disputes中心词为resolution 单数后面不能用are,如是修饰disputes要加代词，或者代词和系动词一起去掉；

还是请另外的高手回吧。


4，没啥好说。
continue 就表示了持续性，不用ing，而且是第三人称单数，要加s。另外its指代不清。所以，只有选d

我的思路是首先排除A、E，that不可以省略，
其次比较B,C,D，需要意思排除（说实在的我也是有些晕），
不过D的and是连接的复数，所以后面用are，正确

今早上的确有些看晕了，confidentiality and a resonably quick resolution of disputes
这样就是复数了，所以，are对。答案为D.
