我就是在这儿下载的XDF老题中的sc题目（感激中）

4. Developing nations in various parts of the world have amassed $700 billion in debts; at stake, should a significant number of these debts be repudiated, is the solvency of some of the world’s largest multinational banks.
(A) should a significant number of these debts be repudiated, is
(B) should a significant number of these debts be repudiated, are
(C) should they repudiate a significant number of these debts, are
(D) if there is a repudiation of a significant number of these debts, would be
(E) if a significant number of these debts will be repudiated, is

答案是A，我是根据比较选择的（if不可以表示是否，本句因该用单数）但是不明白为什么should提前？？

5. South Korea has witnessed the world’s most dramatic growth of Christian congregations; church membership is expanding by 6.6 percent a year, fully two-thirds of the growth coming from conversions rather than the population increasing.
(A) coming from conversions rather than the population increasing
(B) coming from conversions rather than increases in the population
(C) coming from conversions instead of the population’s increasing
(D) is from conversions instead of population increases
(E) is from conversions rather than increasing the population
本题答案是A，我想问一下到底 the population increasing与 increases in the population.
有什么区别，不是都表示人口的增长吗，我觉得没有区别啊，难道the population increasing不是名词的短语吗，我是根据前面的the growth 与后面的B的the population 平行选择的，看来是瞎用平行了，望高手指教！

1,if　引导的虚拟语气，可以将shoud, had ,were提前，同时省略if.
2,你的答案没有错呀，你的思路也没有错呀。应该是B

1、这就是一种固定的用法，记住就可以了。

2、平行结构的含义很广，不但要求符合意思而且要符合结构、成分。这是一个非常好的题目。

(a) coming from conversions rather than the population increasing （简单名词结构但是用的是动名词）
(b) coming from conversions rather than increases in the population（后面的是n+介词短语结构）
(c) coming from conversions instead of the population’s increasing（' s 结构）

如果从意思上讲，这三个选项是比较难区分的，并且都没有语法错误，这就是ETS的优中选优的特点。

a,b,c,中比，实际是名词与名词并列，所以B更好点。

谢谢各位的回答，我明白了！
不好意思，2题看错了答案，
这也是我得一个问题，因为在下载区的XDF老题没有答案，
我只有想别的方法，就是SC的题目对笨蛋叮当的总结，
所以有时候会错，不知道哪位大哥有xdf老题的答案啊！，能不能上传呢！
谢谢
