The success of the program to eradicate smallpox has stimulated experts to pursue what they had not previously considered possible--better control, if not eradication, of the other infections such as measles and yaws.
what they had not previously considered possible--better control, if not eradication, of the other infections such as
what they had not previously considered a possibility--better control, if not eradication, of such infections like
something they had not previously considered possible--better control, if not eradication, of such infections as
something not considered a previous possibility--better control and perhaps eradication, of other infections such as
the possibility of what they had not previously considered--better control and possibly eradication of infections like
- Major problem is "THE other infections." THE is too definitive here, carrying the connotation of "every single one of the other infections."
* THE is also incompatible with "such as":
- Correct: I never read this book, but I read the other books on the shelf.
- Correct: I never read this book, but I read other books on the shelf, such as "Right Hand, Left Hand" and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
- Incorrect: I never read this book, but I read the other books on the shelf, such as "Right Hand, Left Hand" and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
- Minor problem is "what they had not..." vs. "something they had not..." The "what" construction is awfully strong, suggesting that this was THE ONE THING they hadn't thought possible.
* As an analogy, compare the meanings of "I want to do what I love for a living" and "I want to do something I love for a living." The first suggests that the speaker has one particular field in mind; the second doesn't.
剩下ACD，A有个很大的问题是 what 在从句中表示很明确的事情，something则是不那么确定的；
比如：this is what you are talking about 和 it's something unpredictable blabla 读一下就能感觉到区别（可能举例并不是很恰当）
其次是such as 和 infections的位置：
D的 better control and perhaps eradication, of other infections such as。。是不是感觉such as应该是治疗的方式而不是修饰infection的
*之前有道题，提到过lock word的概念，英文中为了避免语义混乱，会用一些词来锁定彼此的修饰。
剩下C
第一种情况：总数是两个，one....the other....一个另一个;
第二种情况：总数是多数，“some.....the other+名词复数”,一些......剩余的那些......”，相加等于同一个类型的总数
The implication here is that there are SOME other infections
others只说明了其他，没说明任何类似相关性
such like是不存在的结构，不考虑，B不对
the other就特指某些，代表范围是限定的，这时候出现such as是奇怪的，所以A 不对
Pursue possibility, 句意奇怪，E不对
在D中，something和possibility等于都做了considered的宾语，错误
错选a
pursue 从事，致力于
something代替what从句，简洁明了；
a中后面用了the other，但是前面没有跟它搭配的one 。。the other
one the other只有两个
some the others 有三个及以上
one 。。another。。
some 。。others。。
1. better control of the other infections such as--a中“更好的控制剩下所有的感染病比如”？语意不对。
2. A使用what而C使用something，两者在语法上没错，但what强调的是某个特定的事，something没有强调特定的事；此外，A选项的the other使用错误，正确的结构应该是one ... the other ...。此外，the other 和 such as是不兼容的，正确的表达应该是of other infections such as ...
BD去掉了
然后E的语义不对把 pursue possibility
2.such as和the other永远不能同时出现！such as表示举例，不是穷举。而the other表示除此之外的所有，是穷举
2. A使用what而C使用something，两者在语法上没错，但what强调的是某个特定的事，something没有强调特定的事；此外，A选项的the other使用错误，正确的结构应该是one ... the other ...。此外，the other 和 such as是不兼容的，正确的表达应该是of other infections such as ...
1. better control of other infections such as---后面举例的就应该是control的手段 如果是better control of such infections as--后面举例的就应该是infection，非划线部分的两个例子是感染，所以A的结构是肯定不对的
2. A使用what而C使用something，两者在语法上没错，但what强调的是某个特定的事，something没有强调特定的事；此外，A选项的the other使用错误，正确的结构应该是one ... the other ...。此外，the other 和 such as是不兼容的，正确的表达应该是of other infections such as ...
