To meet the rapidly rising market demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.
their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut
a. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as suppliers are growing their natural growth rate. (受詞代替fish)
b. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate is growing fish. (主詞代替suppliers)
(c)
兩倍速成長-->人為的,自然成長-->非人為的,所以不會growing them
(e)
平行(growing, cutting, raising)

a. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as suppliers are growing their natural growth rate.
b. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate is growing fish.
But both these sentences do not make sense and are illogical.
split 2: Rate = speed
Saying “speed is fast” is definitely incorrect.
“Speed is more than something” or “Speed is higher than something” is appropriate
On similar lines, growth rate cannot be faster. Growth rate can be higher.
a RATE can't be FAST.
* the rate can be high;
* the increase itself can be fast.
similarly,
a height can't be tall (a person can be tall, or a height can be greater than...)
a bank account can't be rich (a person can be rich, or a bank account can contain a large amount of money)
etc.
grow 才能fast
所以是DE
A suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate 不知道是鱼自然的growth rate的二倍
还是suppliers平常养殖鱼的growth rate的二倍
ambiguity
另外 supplier不能grow fish,因此C不对
剩余看平行,选D
2. rate不能用fast形容,杀A
This choice changes the intended meaning of the sentence and in fact while doing so renders the sentence illogical. Remember that the original sentence states that suppliers are growing fish faster than the fish grows naturally. Thus, two different rates of growth are being compared.
Rate at which suppliers grow the fish
Rate at which fish grow naturally.
2、growing的逻辑主语是suppliers,暗示有别的人在grow fish,不合适。
3、cutting XXX and raising平行
故D正确,C错误
growing them naturally 省略了suppliers are 但是这样句意不符
