题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：首先，定语从句which were sent by swift messenger中的谓语动词是复数，所以其先行词必须是复数名词。但在逻辑上，真正被信使送的应该是“新闻”，但news是单数名词，应该用was。
其次，介词短语in reaching New York City需改为不定式短语to reach New York City，这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题，in reaching/to reach是宾语的补足语，因此需考虑其主句的谓语动词take的约束力。显然地，本选项中take的约束力较强，因此应该用不定式作为其宾语的补足语。
最后，as well as是副词而不是连词，所以其不能用来连接两个具有对等关系的名词。
B选项：当不定式做宾语补足语时，我们通常直接说to do，而不说in order to do，例如：
My mom forced me to eat lunch.
**My mom forced me in order to eat lunch.
第二个例句是不正确的。
C选项：定语从句中的谓语动词的单复数错误同选项(A)。
D选项：in order to错误同选项(B)；another和in addition在语意上重复。
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
1.idiom,take...to do sth,ABD错
2.一致，sent的对象应该是news,而News是单数，应该用was，AB错
C同理也错。
3.idiom,as well as的用法错误，应该用and,A错
as well as 与and 的意思不完全一致，作为习语用作介词时，as well as的涵义是“还有”、“不但…而且…”。值得注意的是，在A as well as B的结构里，语意的重点在 A，不在 B。因此，要注意句子想要表达的逻辑关系。
4.平行，后面是to reach前面也应该是to reach，D错。
5.重复，B的also与another重复。B错
news是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。单复数用piece of来表示
“但news是单数名词，应该用was。”
news是单数名词，应该用was
news of these shots是单数，所以排除AC
注意要看准从句到底修饰的是紧挨的名字，还是紧挨的名词前面的！（因为有名词➕介词词组）然后再单复
根据此可排出AC
另外根据another和in addtion的重合排除D
另外，根据in order to排除B （in order to是表示最终目的，而不是描述做了什么：如 i took 4 days in order to finish the work 错 i took 4 days off work in order to finish the work对
另外，B相比于E，that的用法容易误以为在修饰shots
C：news是单数名词，应该用was。
D选项：another和in addition在语意上重复。
news是单数名词，应该用was；as well as是副词而不是连词，所以其不能用来连接两个具有对等关系的名词；another和in addition在语意上重复。；
当不定式做宾语补足语时，我们通常直接说to do，而不说in order to do，例如：
My mom forced me to eat lunch.
**My mom forced me in order to eat lunch.
第二个例句是不正确的。
as well as 是副词
1、news是单数名词
2、没注意A用的doing..当我们需要鉴别一道考题究竟应该选ing还是选不定式时，只需鉴别在它们的主句开始发生的时候，这件事是否已经发生了即可。若已经发生，则用doing形式；若尚未发生，则用to do形式。
简单题，错误！
考察：名词单复数；主谓一致；
前：！news新闻是单数不可数名词！！
所以ac错，
中：GMAC 选择说to do，而不说in order to do；且后半部分赘余，排除bd；d中in addition to也赘余。

C的定语从句不是错误点，纠结了半天
首先，根据was sent的主语应该是news 排除AC
后面表示并列用 and 且 结构一致 都应用 to reach，排除 BD
而且B中的also D中的 in addition 都跟and 和another 重复，冗余 排除
news是单数名词，应该用was
news是单数名词 another和in addition语意重复
当时一直在CE纠结（没有意识到news是单数），这种时候如果很明确CE都没有太大问题，就一定要回去仔细看题目，看自己是否忽略了哪个重要的要素
news是单数名词
c里面news是单数名词，应该用was。
as well as是副词而不是连词，所以其不能用来连接两个具有对等关系的名词。
