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)。
A. that跟在expectations后面表示具体内容; expectations的内容没有实现,不能用过去时; that没有指代。
B. correct; Would在这里表示expectation的内容没有实现。
C. 整个句式awkward, that为同位语从句引导词与of平行共同修饰expectations, 其实没有必要先说一遍
topic再接着详述,像B一样直接详述即可; doubled时态错误
D. Of短语无法明确表明expectations的核心内容,应该用同位语从句
E. 句式awkward错误同C
