Created in 1945 to reduce poverty and stabilize foreign currency markets, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have, according to some critics, continually struggled to meet the expectations of their major shareholders—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—but neglected their intended beneficiaries in the developing world.
continually struggled to meet the expectations of their major shareholders—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—but neglected
continually struggled as they try to meet the expectations of their major shareholders—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—while neglecting that of
continually struggled to meet their major shareholders' expectations—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—but neglected that of
had to struggle continually in trying to meet the expectations of their major shareholders—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—while neglecting that of
struggled continually in trying to meet their major shareholders' expectations—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—and neglecting
Cthat of单数形式,应该是复数those of
C,that of错误,应该用those of
破折号是"a group...",同位语修饰,那前面一定是人"shareholders",而不能是所有格。
"while neglecting that of"对应前面的"the expectations of their major shareholders",所以不是that是those。
“major shareholders' expectations”之后的----破折号用于解释前文的话,应该只能解释expectations了,如果要解释shareholders的话,应该用“the expectations of their major shareholders---”更合理一些
一个所有格一个合句排除BCDE
that of 无指代
struggled。。but neglected
A选项:but很准确的表达出转折;shareholders后面的破折号解释说明其包含的内容;
B选项: as they try to meet 与文章的时态不一致;while neglecting that of中的that无所指,因为可能指代的名词也就expectations,是个复数名词;
C选项:’expectations—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—‘有问题,破折号不能解释expectations; neglecting that of中的that无所指,因为可能指代的名词也就expectations,是个复数名词;
D选项: that of中的that无所指,因为可能指代的名词也就expectations,是个复数名词;
E选项:’expectations—a group comprising many of the world's rich nations—‘有问题,破折号不能解释expectations,而应该解释shareholders; and不能明确表达转折意思;
看解释部分 准确解释shareholders struggle to 跟try in 内容重复 都是致力于 but 与while 前面说一直致力于满足持股人的期待,后面说忽视了 说明内容上转折 因此用but
先排除B/D/E。C选项 ... major shareholders' expectations—a group comprising ..., a group同位语指代expectations,在逻辑上属于错误的,a group应指代人。此外that of 应指代expectations,而expectations是复数名词,所以应该使用those of指代。排除C选项。A选项在同位语从句和结构上都正确。A选项是正确选项。
