The airline's proposed purchases of as many as 250 medium-range planes will probably be the basis of an overhaul of its routes; it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continue to use feeder aircraft to bring passengers to major hubs.
it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continue
it is expected that it will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than to continue
it is expected that the number of direct point-to-point flights will increase, instead of their continuing
the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than continue
the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of its continuing
题目分析:
首先我们能看到(A)(B)中的it是形式主语,其等价于:That it will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than to continue to use feeder aircraft to bring passengers to major hubs is expected;其次,我们可以发现平行触发语rather than/instead of。
选项分析:
A选项:代词they是一个复数代词,指代对象必须是复数名词,这里只能指代purchases或者planes,但是在逻辑上,增加航班数量的应该是航空公司(airline是单数名词)。另外,expect的逻辑宾语(句法上是is expected的主语,但实际上这个从句是expect的逻辑宾语)应该用不定式短语to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights而不是从句that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题,expect的约束力较强,应用不定式做宾语。
另外,instead of是介词,身后只能加名词或动名词,所以不能用instead of continue,至少要改为instead of continuing。
B选项:从句that it will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights应改为不定式短语,该错误同选项(A);increase和continue在语法上不平行。
C选项:从句that the number of direct point-to-point flights will increase应改为不定式短语,该错误同选项(A);increase和continue平行错误同(B)。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:increase和continue平行错误同选项(B)。
expected to do A rather than do B, 而不是rather than TO do B -- is that right? 这个平行弄得有点混乱
to是可以省略的啊。

请问平行触发语instead of后面可以跟动词原形或者过去式吗?instead of continue...?
I read book instead of play games. 还是 I read book instead of playing games.?
I went ouside instead of stayed at home. 还是 I went ouside instead of staying at home.?
instead of是介词,身后只能加名词或者动名词。
谢谢。所以A选项的instead of continue也是错误的,对吧?
是的。解析已更新。
