考题讲解

毕出

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)。
