Although the rise in the Producer Price Index was greater than expected, most analysts agreed that the index was unlikely to continue going up and that inflation remained essentially under control.
that the index was unlikely to continue going up and that inflation remained
that it was unlikely for the index continuing to go up and for inflation to remain
that the index was unlikely to continue to go up, with inflation to remain
on the unlikelihood that the index would continue going up and that inflation remained
on the unlikelihood that the index would continue to go up and for inflation to remain
题目分析:虽然PPI的涨幅高于预期,但是大部分分析学家同意这一指数不太可能会继续增长并且同意通货膨胀基本在控制之中。
选项分析:
A选项:正确。划线部分为agree的两个并列的宾语从句,即“指数不会继续上涨”以及“通货膨胀扔在控制之中”这两件事。
B选项:宾语从句的内容发生了变化。“it”做形式主语,指代“指数增长和通货膨胀保持可控”这两件事。此时句子的字面意思为“这两件事 是 不可能的”。但从逻辑上来说,想和从句形成转折关系,一定是说“指数增长不可能”并且“通货膨胀保持可控”。后者不能是“不可能的”。
C选项:with inflation to remain是一个独立主格,作为状语修饰动作“go up”。但逻辑上来说,“指数不增长”和“通货膨胀保持可控”是并列的独立的两件事,不能用后者去修饰前者,这是不合理的。
D选项:agree的宾语核心词此时为“unlikelihood”,即“不可能性”,之后是它的同位语从句。选项的字面核心意思就变为“分析学家同意一个不可能性”。但逻辑上来说,分析学家应该同意“一件事”,而不是一个很抽象的东西;“不可能性”是无法被同意的,所以句子的核心意思不合逻辑。
E选项:宾语为“unlikelihood”,错误同D。
注意gmat是考查语义的@!!
unlike to do 是一件事情,另一件事情的语义是inflation可以被控制,而不能是unlike
so ,以后做题关注下 并列前后的动词是否可以通用。
