题目分析:
本题主要考查了“比较”和一些词汇的用法。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象的不对等。句首的in contrast to要求对比两者必须保证在逻辑上可比。能和“环境学员的方法”相对比的只能是“管理员们的方法”,不能是管理员本身。
B选项:本选项错误同选项(A)。
C选项:本选项错误同选项(A)。另外,本选项没有谓语动词。
D选项:分析本选项主干可知,其讲的是“administration's proposal是一个call”(此处,was是系动词,a call是名词,做表语)。但在逻辑上,应该是administration's proposal发出call for(需要)这个动作,即,管理员们的方法需要强制的限制,而不能说,管理员们的方法是一个call。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D不是主谓不一致。 was a call的was是指call,单数一致;which include的which指的是最近的restrictions,include也就没有错。//确实逻辑问题,句子要表达中心不是proposal是call的这个判断,所以系表结构的D不如E好。//我觉得是语意的问题,也可用时态判断。was a call的话就暗示他现在不是call,但是是个call是客观现实。又或者是was是因为整个材料背景用过去式,但是后面的this plan would delay such..delay前面这个restrictions一坨,就说明这一坨并未发生,所以应该是would. (From my humble op.Ron大约也是这个意思)
