In hoping to restrain economic growth, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, making it more expensive to borrow for businesses and consumers.
老版PREP1第3题得语法总结2) it不能指代介词短语, it可以指代主语从句和不定式结构: It is difficult to do this research. It is important that we finish on time。在这两个例子中it分别指代to do this research和that从句 在GWD题中:
(In hoping to restrain economic growth, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, making it more expensive to borrow for businesses and consumers.)
A. In hoping to restrain economic growth, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, making it more expensive to borrow for businesses and consumers.
B.Making it more expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, in hopes of their restraining economic growth.
C.In making borrowing for businesses and consumers more expensive, British policymakers, in hopes they will restrain economic growth, had raised interest rates.
D.Hopefully restraining economic growth, British policymakers raised interest rates, making more expensive borrowing by businesses and consumers.
E.Hoping to restrain economic growth, British policymakers raised interest rates, making it more expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow. 正确答案为E,此时making it more expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow. 此时 it不是指代了for businesses and consumers to borrow.这个介词短语吗? 难道语法笔记错了,还是我理解错了,快考试了,还没搞明白,请高人指点,谢谢!
