还没有题目讲解（毕出老师会陆续发布对官方考题的解读，请保持关注）。
it在这需要，表示防止什么被偷
第一步 看是否冗余。防止被偷 与 防止圣杯被偷，圣杯不冗余
第二部 缺失表任意。 ACE 防止任意一个东西被偷。 句意无法和前半段形成联系。圣杯被埋起来 肯定是防止圣杯被偷，所以it不可以省略 选C
**keep oneself/sb from sth/doing sth // The church bells keep me from sleeping.//
**keep（oneself）from doing sth // She could hardly keep (herself) from laughing.//
C选项：to avoid it from being stolen
B选项："to keep from being stolen" does not indicate what might be stolen, so a pronoun is needed between keep and from.
C选项：to avoid it from being stolen
D选项：这样表达wordy
E选项：keep it from,
--> this is an active construction. the modifier implies that "to allow..." was actually the intention of the planning commission; if that's not the case, this sentence is not ok.
the highway was extended 10 miles farther south, to allow commuters from the southern suburbs to travel downtown more quickly
--> this is a passive construction. "to allow..." is clearly not the intention of the highway itself -- in context, it's the intention of whoever planned the highway extension -- but, in a passive construction, this kind of usage is ok.
ACE：目的状语to keep的主语是chalice，而文物不能有保护自己的主观目的，不能自己做to keep的动作
B:虽然it略微有歧义，可指代chalice/Ireland
如果chalice是to do目的的主语--自己对自己做一件事 要用itself，而不是it，所以keep it from消除了歧义
加了it，说明to keep的动作发生者不是chalice，是谁这里没说，反正不是chalice
所以比ACE好
其实：单看ACE 几乎没有差别，所以只能3个都错
这里加it更好，说明不能单单用多代词就排除选项！
主语应该是scientists an historians，不是an attempt---排除CE
AB的区别
A:scientists an historians,插入语in their attempt，are hoping
谓语是hope---主要动作 状语---在他们的尝试里 不合逻辑；且attempt，明显做动词，而不是这里的名词
B：scientists an historians are attempting to do， hoping
谓语：尝试 伴随状语：希望 符合逻辑
[keep someone/something from doing something] to prevent someone from doing something or prevent something from happening
