885 S5-2, 4, 郁闷,不解,请教

2.    Since 1981, when the farm depression began, the number of acres overseen by professional farm-management companies have grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado’s size.(A) have grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado’s size
(B) have grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, about the size of Colorado
(C) has grown from 48 million to nearly 59 million, an area about the size of Colorado
(D) has grown from 48 million up to nearly 59 million, an area about the size of Colorado’s
(E) has grown from 48 million up to nearly 59 million, about Colorado’s size.

答案是C,感觉也是C正确,可是仔细分析,好像又觉得不对,这句话主语是the number, 宾语是那一堆数字,怎么可以用area做同位语呢?不解

4.    The only way for growers to salvage frozen citrus is to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns.
(A) to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns
(B) if they are quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns to rot them
(C) for them to be processed quickly into juice concentrate before the fruit rots when warmer weather returns
(D) if the fruit is quickly processed into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns
(E) to have it quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns and rots the fruit.

citrus这里应该是复数吧,怎么会选E呢,我怎么都觉得应该是A阿?又郁闷了。。。

1. the number of acres + 單數V.  
   又,the number of acres 可以說是 an area.

4.詭計,citrus是單數.

1. 理解
2. citrus 作为单数的话怎么没有冠词哩?

我的理解:citrus是不可数名词,文中又是泛指,所以没有the

比如说泛指的水如何,没有说the water的

但OG 中, 明明说了 but the plural pronouns them and they do not agree with the singular noun citrus.

泛指倒是可以接受

S05-04为OG4;ETS的解释是citrus 是单数,E also expresses the cause-and-effect relationship between the return of warmer weather and the rotting of the fruit; A, C, and D merely describe these events as contemporaneous.

我觉得在citrus的复数形式包括citrus和citruses两种的情况下,ETS的解释还是比较牵强的。算一道流氓题吧
