由OG103想到的

103. Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.

(A)  lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

(B)   lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes

(C)   lack of math skills is so large as to be difficult to absorb them into a city's economy that becomes

(D)  are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming

(E)   are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

1，我的问题就是开始大家问的那个：E中them的指代：

牛们都认为是them优先指代主语，我能不能这么理解：在so ... that之间的名词不可能被指代？？因为我觉得说优先的话，那我还是不知道什么时候这个是指代错什么时候是优先就没指代问题。还有就是如果说代词必然指代主语的话，好象根本说不通，OG里太多的题指代错就是在指代主语还是宾语上出的问题。

2，ETS说so much...as to be difficult to absorb  （D）这种说法是即罗嗦又不符合习惯用法。那我想问，这个不符合习惯能不能理解成：

be difficult to do这类短语的形式主语应该是it呢？？

比如大家一般都说 it is difficult to do ....或者  make it difficult to do ....

是不是换成人或者别的什么做主语就不对呢？？

请教NN,谢谢谢谢
