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 more than doubling 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)。
1.虚拟语气,expectations是对未来的预测,所以后面应该要用虚拟语气would,ACD错
2.句意推理,是expections of 还是expection that,前者的意思是某物的期望,后者意思是,期望一件事。
根据后面的句意我们可以推出,是拿这个数据和去年的数据对比,翻了一倍。
单说intensifying expections of personal spending,增强了个人消费的期望,这个意思的重点倾向于今年的个人消费,而不是两者的对比。
因此用that更好,CDE错
