If the proposed expenditures for gathering information abroad are reduced even further, international news reports have been and will continue to diminish in number and quality.
have been and will continue to diminish
have and will continue to diminish
will continue to diminish, as they already did,
continue to diminish, as they have already,
will continue to diminish
题目分析：
通读原题可知，“继续（continue to do）”在语意上包含了“到现在为止已经（have been）”的概念。继续的意思是：到现在为止是这样并且以后还会这样，因此，have been/ as they already did是赘余的，应该被去掉，可以排除(A)(B)(C)(D)，答案为(E)。
选项分析：
略。
if ……will……主将从现，排除ABD
根据语义：continue“”到现在为止是这样，并且以后还会这样“，所以不用再加already、have been。
C选项：will continue to diminish, as they already did,--（×）冗余
B选项：have been and will continue to diminish--（×）冗余
