central bank
D.with the suggestion to investors in the near future that interest rates would not be lowered
by the central bank
E.with the suggestion to investors of interest rates not being lowered in the near future by

rates。原句首先错在 suggesting 后应该有一个 that 表示暗示的内容,而不是直接 suggesting
to investors 后面又来一个动词 is,且前面时态是过去式,这里 is not lowering 时态错误。状
语 suggesting 表伴随可以,句意是 主席描绘了一个画面,同时暗示了央行在未来将不会下
调利率,B 正确,在过去描绘的画面,预示将来会怎样,过去将来时。
C 项就近修饰 economy,逻辑错。过去将来时用 would。
D 项动词变为名词 suggestion,that 歧义修饰 future,逻辑变。
E 项同 D, not being lowered 错

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) had long been expected
to announce a reduction in output to bolster sagging oil prices, but officials of the
organization just recently announced that the group will pare daily production by 1.5
million barrels by the beginning of next year, but only if non-OPEC nations, including
Norway, Mexico, and Russia, were to trim output by a total of 500,000 barrels a day.
(A) year, but only if non-OPEC nations, including Norway, Mexico, and Russia,
were to trim output
(B) year, but only if the output of non-OPEC nations, which includes Norway,
Mexico, and Russia, is trimmed
(C) year only if the output of non-OPEC nations, including Norway, Mexico, and
Russia, would be trimmed
(D) year only if non-OPEC nations, which includes Norway, Mexico, and Russia,
were trimming output
(E) year only if non-OPEC nations, including Norway, Mexico, and Russia, trim
output

A:被命名为 a mythological nymph(having been named for a mythological nymph
who cared for the infant Jupiter)在本选项中是伴随状语,“Ida 被发现(the asteroid
named Ida was discovered in 1884)”是主句。这是不正确的。依据图形背景原则,
“被命名为 a mythological nymph”不能是“Ida 先被发现”的背景。因为,在逻辑上,
应是 Ida 先被发现,然后才是被命名,两者不具有时间轴上谁大于谁的问题。
C:本选项没有谓语动词(discovered 和 named 在本选项中均是过去分词,身前
需要加 be 动词(系动词)才能成为谓语动词(被动语态))。
D:句末的 to do 不定式(to orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter)在本选项中是
asteroids 的后置定语。其考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题,主句“Ida
是在小行星带中的”事件的发生对“小行星带环绕太阳”这个事件发生与否没有直
接影响(你不能说,ida 在小行星带后,触发了这些小行星带环绕太阳吧?这两
个事件均是客观事实,不存在谁触发谁)。因此,只能用 that orbit the Sun between
Mars and Jupiter 这个从句的形式。
E:to orbit 不能做 asteriods 的定语错误同(D)。另外,本选项中的 an asteroid
discovered in 1884 和 which was named for a mythological nymph who cared for the
infant Jupiter 不平行。这是因为,前者是同位语,后者是定语,两者的功能不同
(如果两者都是定语,则可以平行),所以不能用 and 连接
