1. grow rate can't be faster
2. growing them naturally makes no sense

PROBABLY: as fast as [they grow naturally], [..] is just a part of comparison, not a subordinate clause, so the "cutting their ..." won't modify [they grow]. That's why D is logically right on comma+ving?

译：作家BM,1940年生于加尔各答,1988年入美国籍.她在英国和加拿大生活过.1961年初次来到美国进衣阿华作家创作室学习.
析：
since与完成式连用,且时序颠倒,排除A
选项B代词she先于Bharati Mukherjee 不爽,且前一分句时序仍是颠倒,很不爽.译出来“88年入了美国籍之后,也40年出生了.时空穿越吗?排除B
选项D的第一个being纯属多余
in 1940应当用过去分词而不用现在分词完成式,since应与完成式连用,排除E
正确选项C用了Done,s v o;s v1 and v2.句子逻辑清晰,易懂.

• 'an effort to ___' vs. 'an effort that has ___'
if you're describing the goal/purpose of the 'effort'—as in this sentence—then you should use the first of these, since 'to ___' is specifically used for goals/purposes.

觉得D选项重点在于，消费者被K杂志吸引到厨具上（可能增加厨具的销量or收益），而题目问的是会不会影响K杂志的收益。不知道这样理解对不对？

越做模考越觉得以前做的题目带来的影响太大了。。。已经提前体会鸡精反噬了@。@

CHANGES（that included dramatic growth in the corporate） DEMAND for travel services, as well as extensive restructuring and consolidation within the travel industry
这句话我觉得应该是这样理解，changes demand for。。。。。这句话里就demand能做谓语，所以那之前的都是changes的定语从句。所以：dramatic growth in the corporate=merging of some companies，应该算是完美的同义替换。

consolidation = merging

babies were born to women over the age of thirty than babies were born to women under it.

搬自GMATCLUB: 感觉老师D的讲解有误 Lake B can not be more than all the North American Great lakes combined....It is the water in Lake B.

相关果因，CQ排除他因。

独立主格和伴随 很关键，状语和定语的区分 感觉考很多次

some这种不能代表全部的词在逻辑中都不是正确答案…

请问C选项为什么是that falls而不是that fall呢？that 从句应该是修饰snow, sleet and hail吧？如果有个F选项是把C的falls 改成fall,会不会更好呢？

C项的ability在牛津OALD和朗文辞典里面都根本没有ability of doing的用法，但有ability to do的用法.

C： a decline is strictly speaking to a number, not to an estimate.

D选项的错误点：those able to be consumed错了
far exceed 还是exceed by far其实都说的通吧？

通过句子结构，排除AE，with不能接句子，排除C

插入语一定要前后逗号隔开

two stop signs to spot the right answer choice:
1. less/ fewer: production is a uncountable noun, hence we choose less. eliminate D & E.
2. production should be parallel with a qty, not a year, eliminate C.
3. tons is a measure unit, not a plural noun, hence those is a dangled pronoun, eliminate A.
B is the correct answer choice.
