25. To speak habitually of the “truly needy” is gradually instilling the notion that many of those who are just called “needy” actually have adequate resources; such a conclusion is unwarranted.

(A) To speak habitually of the “truly needy” is gradually instilling the notion

(B) To speak habitually of the “truly needy” is instilling the notion gradually

(C) To speak habitually of the “truly needy” is gradually to instill the notion

to do be to do 是什么表达？

为什么不是doing is doing? E, 看起来也很平衡呀？

doing一般表示正在发生或反复发生的动作。而现在进行时更是表示正在进行的动作，原文没有再强调这个动作是现在正在发生，没必要用现在进行时。

另外E还有一个严重错误，题目中的gradully是副词修饰instill的，可E把它改成形容词去修饰notion了，这个错误一般不可原谅。
