that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of
that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double
of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it more than doubled
of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling that of
of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of
题目分析:
在(A)(B)中,expectation的同位语部分是一个句子,这个句子的核心词是动词double;在(C)(D)(E)中,该同位语部分的核心词为personal spending。其次,我们在题目中还可以发现比较词more than。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象应该是一个季度的personal spending增长率和另外一个季度的personal spending的增长率。由于划线部分身后已经写出了in personal spending,所以double身后不需要that of来指代personal spending。另外,double在本选项中是过去时,应改为would double,因为整个划线部分均是expectation的内容。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:Intensifying expectations身后的定语是一个of型所有格。这个部分的核心词是personal spending。但在逻辑上,预期(expectation)的内容应该是在7~9月份的个人消费会怎么样,而不是个人消费本身。
D选项:of型所有格部分的核心词错误同(C)。
E选项:of型所有格部分的核心词错误同(C);比较对象错误同(A)。
the personal spending (in 7-9 quarter) would (more than) double the 1.4% growth rate in personal spending. 新季度的个人消费会在上季度1.4%增长率基础上翻倍。。。
总觉得这里很别扭。。。personal spending double the growth rate,总额是增长额的两倍多??
