Many environmentalists, and some economists, say that free trade encourages industry to relocate to countries with ineffective or poorly enforced antipollution laws, mostly in the developing world, and that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution.
that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution
that, for maintaining competitiveness, rich nations join in this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution
that rich nations join this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution because of wanting to maintain competitiveness
that in rich nations, joining this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution is a result of wanting to maintain competition
that wanting to maintain competition is making rich nations join in this downward slide toward an attitude about pollution that is more lax
Any choice with a simple present tense used in this context, makes it look as though it is the routine habit of rich nations to join the downward slide toward more lax attitude.
examples: private universities have admitted more females than males --> meaning: this is an ongoing or cumulative trend, continuing into the present from some designated starting point
private universities admit more females than males --> meaning: this is a fundamental truth about the way private universities operate
join in: to take part in an activity with other people,this wording implies that the rich nations are colluding with each other, metaphorically holding hands, deciding together to become more lax about pollution. (choice a expresses the correct meaning, which is that the slide is happening and that rich nations are individually joining it.)

B中，for一般是用来表原因的，to才是表目的的。表达要做某事用to
- the simple present tense join implies that there is some sort of timeless truth about the statement being made. that's the wrong meaning: the sentence is meant to say that the rich nations have begun to do this as a result of current trends.
以上是RON的解释 B出错在1.for doing表达目的不对（在这里他还说到A其实也有些wordy）2.“rich nations...."改变了语义 并不是nations 一起加入slide，而是slide出现后他们join it 3.时态 完成时表达这些公司在这种趋势出现时have begun to do so
'for maintaining competitiveness' is bad idiomatic usage: it's an incorrect way to express intent or purpose.
- 'rich nations join in this downward slide': fatal change in meaning. this wording implies that the rich nations are colluding with each other, metaphorically holding hands, deciding together to become more lax about pollution. (choice a expresses the correct meaning, which is that the slide is happening and that rich nations are individually joining it.)
这道题的B为什么是错的呀……同问A中的现在完成时是为什么
b for是一个介词，后面只能跟名词，如果这里吧maintaining当做名词的话，后面的competitiveness也是名词，两个名词不能并列，所以maintaining是动名词，而for后面不能加动名词，只有with可以加，是独立主格。
c 两者之间不是因果关系，而是表目的
d，e maintain competition不能说保持竞赛，只能说保持竞争力

A 项rich nations have joined 的时态对吗？从句意来看是发达国家为了保持竞争力采取的一种措施，为何要用have+Ved？并且B项错在哪呀？
到这题，首先找到主语的发出者 environmentalists and some economist，
谓语say 后面是两个宾语从句that...and that...
第一个that 宾语后面的是完整的主谓宾 free trade encourages industry to relocate to countries
所以第二个and that后面应该是主谓宾的结构所以排除DE
根据句子的简洁性和逻辑外延排除BC
请问为什么第二个that后面也要是主谓宾结构呢，两个that从句（无论that后面是什么）都已经平行就可以了呀。
请问您是怎么根据简洁性和逻辑外延排除BC的，实在不知道该咋排除哇~~~
