In 1993, our profit was $1 billion, but the restructuring $3 billion by 1999. A) increases the total to B) increased this figure to C) increased such a number to D) has increased such a number to E) has increased such an amount up to 1. but 當連接詞時 前句後句要儘可能求 時態相同 2. by 表一精確定時點之前 for example: I will go there by 12:00 or today --------->我要在12:00 or today之前到 所以沒有時間間格概念--->故不須用完成式 3. figure 比用 number 好

多谢princess,makai,猫猫头,tongxun!  1是B,2是D.
本来我也觉得2是D读着顺,后来一想有more没有than,就选了最高级.呵呵,又上当了!
关于1,是不是BY可用于1.完成时 2.过去时 3.将来时?

tongxun

1、by是代表了将来的一种情况啊，还是过去啊？
实在要选，我选B。
2、D。前后比较的题目。

猫猫头

我也觉得第一题选Ｂ好
１９９９不一定用现在完成时呀

makai

1.选B吧.虽然By有表示一段时间的意思,但用过去时似乎也可以说通.况且,such a number中用number指代前面的profit不合适.figure我认为比较确切.
2.同意princess的观点,是比较.

princess

1.我选D，by 1999应该用完成时态
2.D和E很难选啊：（
  偏向选D，more practical items和novelty gifts相比较
  用最高级most practical好像有点牵强
