The success of the program to eradicate smallpox has stimulated experts to pursue what they had not previously considered possible--better control, if not eradication, of the other infections such as measles and yaws.

(D) something not considered a previous possibility--better control and perhaps eradication, of other infections such as
(E) the possibility of what they had not previously considered--better control and possibly eradication of infections like

能用名词代替名词性从句的，优先选名词。
这里不能用the other的原因：the other 是指“同类中的其他”而此处的smallpox和后面的Infections不属于同类，因为前者可以eradicate，而后面的只是better control。

There is a widespread belief in the United States and Western Europe that young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents and that the source of the change lies in the collapse of the "work ethic."

(A) a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
(B) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
(C) a smaller commitment to work and a career than that of their parents and grandparents
(D) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents had
(E) a lessening of the commitment to work and a career that their parents and grandparents had
A的错误：young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career是句子，而their parents and grandparents是一个词组，二者不对等。
同理，C中，that of their parents and grandparents依旧是词组，不对等，只是形式更复杂。要快速的分辨出来

是否补出助动词的规则：是否有宾语。
本题有，所以要补出，否则会有歧义。

Originally 接过去时而不是完成时。
注意区别什么时候用名词合适，什么时候用动词合适。

46. A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement.
(A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do
(B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than
(C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do
(D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than
do
(E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than
Answer to Question 46
Choice E, the best answer, uses the adverbial phrase more quickly than to modify the verb phrase gain weight.
In A, B, and C, quicker than is incorrect because an adjective should not be used to modify a verb phrase. E is
also the only choice with consistent verb tenses. The first verb in the clauses introduced by showed that is
exercise. A and B incorrectly compound that present tense verb with a past tense verb, associated. C and D
correctly use associate, but C follows with the past tense required and D with the present perfect have
required. Both C and D incorrectly conclude with the future tense will gain.

151. If Dr. Wade was right, any apparent connection of the eating of highly processed foods and excelling at sports is purely coincidental.
(A) If Dr. Wade was right, any apparent connection of the eating of
(B) Should Dr. Wade be right, any apparent connection of eating
(C) If Dr. Wade is right, any connection that is apparent between eating of
(D) If Dr. Wade is right, any apparent connection between eating
(E) Should Dr. Wade have been right, any connection apparent between eating

Answer to Question 151
D, the best choice, deals successfully with four issues. It uses a present indicative verb form in the conditional
clause. If Dr. Wade is right, in order to agree with the verb in the main clause, any connection
is...coincidental. It uses the idiomatic phrasing connection between x and y. It presents the coordinate
objects of the preposition between (eating ... and excelling ...) in parallel form. Finally, the adjective apparent
appears in front of its headnoun connection, not after. A, B, and E use incorrect verb forms in the conditional
clause. A and B use the unidiomatic connection of x and y. A and C violate parallelism with eating of. C and E
incorrectly place apparent after its headword connection.

In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting East African cave paintings.

(A) Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting
(B) Leakey contributed to archaeology by her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and by painstakingly documenting
(C) Leakey was a contributor to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and with her painstaking documentation of
(D) Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and her painstaking documentation of
(E) Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstaking documentation of
名词要对应名词。
C：该选项采用了Mary Leakey was a contributor…with x and with y句型，没有明确Mary Leakey的贡献与x/y之间的关系，be a contributor所表达的意思与原句不同。比如说，I am a singer with afive-year old kid.        我是一个有个五岁小孩的歌手，但是有小孩和是歌手之间并没有直接联系。换到这个句子当中来，Mary Leakey was a contributor with a five-year old kid.同理成立，但是kid和contributor之间没有联系，并不是Mary有个五岁小孩所以就是贡献者。同理理解该选项的问题。相比之下，D选项直接明了的说，Mary Leakey的贡献就是她的发现以及对洞穴画的记录和描述，清晰直接的说出了句子内容之间的联系。所以，相比之下，C选项不如D
