18. GWD27-Q18:

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to

• in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to
  

Answer: C

为什么可以用for doing呢

不能选C，C割裂了measurements 和 enable scientists的逻辑关系，答案记得是A。

amorer

或者再把and去掉？变成

D.    with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, which will enable scientists to ...

amorer

them在这个句子里唯一只能指代scientists吧？为什么说他指代不清呢

我选的是D。主要原因是考虑到两个句子之间的关联。C选项中我们看不出有任何科学家们能够理解xxx是拜spacecraft的高精度测量所赐。D选项如果调整一下结构变成

D.    with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which will enable scientists to ...


这样还有什么问题吗？我理解which指代的是前面整个spacecraft的动作。请赐教！

mingzhu99

and 连接的是句子,这点从and之前有逗号就看出来了,既然是2个句子,主语没必要严格平行

painsper

C中 AND 作为连词连接句子，感觉前面说的是spacecraft 怎么样，and scientists  怎么样，

感觉怪怪的，AND 连接的东东是不是人对人，物对物啊~~~谢谢，请指正~~~

to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to (that功用模糊;them 指涉不清）
to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them(ever more and more加強語氣 但改變句意;現在式變為進行式，語意改變;them指涉不清)
for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to(for V-ing = to V;表目的)
with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to(which應當刪除;them指涉不清;with the purpose of不簡潔)

• in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to(in order to = to不簡潔;現在式變為進行式，語意改變)
  

Answer: C

为什么可以用for doing呢
用to V最好，不過因為AB選項有其他錯誤，所以不選
