不同于一般的填空题（complete）--一般是以果寻因（complete argument...since/because）,本题要求用一个具体的现象（fact）去解释一个抽象的概念（principle）。
关键词：illustrated by the “fact“ that 。
解决此类题的关键在于弄清楚题干里的principle到底是什么意思。通过读题，作者通过the more...the more...和great...great...两个结构道出了一个原则：风险越大，（所寻求的）收益越大。
其实由于题中的“：”存在，我们完全可以只读“：”后面的结构（相较前面的更简单）。

helr，求讲解B为什么错误啊

b的were written 和outnumber 的主语都是lettres,所以outnumber那句省略了主语，这样想不对吗

E. The second boldface section presents not the historian’s conclusion but rather the

unless这个词，是真的让我转了不少弯；
What must be true in order for this cycle to occur?

C的逻辑是 材料成本的变化属于通货膨胀里的一种

C Presumably the cost of materials was factored into the previous year’s contractual price, and the
percentage increase allowed by historical costing will likely reflect any increases in the cost of
materials.

If the original
contract price accommodated the contractors’ inefficiencies, the government’s
overpayments for these inefficiencies are simply perpetuated, and money continues to
be wasted. Additionally, historical costing assumes costs only go up, never down.

B Correct. If bollworm damage on non-bioengineered cotton is worse than usual this year, then
bollworm infestation in general is simply worse than usual, so pesticide resistance does not need
to be invoked to explain the bollworm attacks on the bioengineered cotton

第一遍看完所有选项，感觉没一个合适的；之后就选个最相关的，也只能是B

d 中的called a sea为什么不是过去分词做定语

a的which covers 为什么不是 跳跃修饰the landlocked caspian

这题的意思是说两个俱乐部的成员是有重叠的吗？

求讲解

Ron: as for your other question, this isn't really a perfect tense, because it's actually not a tense at all -- it's an infinitive.
probably the easiest way to go here is to remember this as an idiomatic usage of the construction "known to". if the action is in the present, then you use "known to VERB"; if the action is in the past, then you use "known to have VERBed". as far as i know, these are the only two possible forms

完全看不懂

答案错了吗？应该选E吧

the time it takes a particle to tunnel through a barrier increases with the thickness of the barrier 穿过的时间随厚度增加而增加 那不就是速度原来越慢吗？？？？？？

根据Ron的说法, E的错误主要是在不定式TO，prohibit是不能加TO DO的
