As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28

years, Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning

applications.

(A) As the former

(B) The former

(C) Former

(D) She was

(E) As the

(A) 不明白解释：as the former chair… for 18 consecutive years不符合逻辑，而且主语谓语是attended…，如果是former chair，attended…也是不符合逻辑的.

（former说的是以前的，那为什么不能说前任的chair连续。。。了18年，参加了。。。会议呢？）

Nine months after the county banned jet skis and other water bikes from the tranquil waters of

Puget Sound, a judge overturned the ban on the ground of violating state laws for allowing the use

of personal watercraft on common waterways.

(A) of violating state laws for allowing

(B) of their violating state laws to allow

(C) that it violates state laws that allowed

(D) that it violated state laws allowing

(E) that state laws were being violated allowing

答案为D。但我觉得it指代不清。是指代judge还是ban。E选项的解释是：“被动语态表达不清晰；allowing距离其修饰对象laws太远，产生歧义。”但我觉得allowing是修饰violate的，说的是laws违背了允许。。。的权利。

One of the earliest known birds with a beak and contour feathers, Confuciusornis sanctus, with

large clawlike "thumbs" on its wings, which probably helped them to climb up to a launching position

for flight.

(A) with large clawlike "thumbs" on its wings, which probably helped them to

(B) with large clawlike "thumbs" on their wings, which probably helped it to

(C) had large clawlike "thumbs" on its wings, which probably helped them

(D) had large clawlike "thumbs" on its wings, probably to help it

(E) had large clawlike "thumbs" on their wings, probably to help it

答案为D。答案解释说不定式在这里做目的状语。但是会不会有修饰wings的歧义呢？

In the mid-1920s the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company was the scene of an

intensive series of experiments that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their

effects on workers' performance.

(A) that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance

(B) investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers'

performance

(C) for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working

conditions would cause

(D) that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance

(E) to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers'

performance

答案解释说(D) 表达不清晰，可以理解为changes in… effects，也可以理解为changes in working conditions。但我觉得D的conditions是所有格，那么change就应该是in effects而不是in conditions啊。

关于(E)，答案说“修饰effects的定语从句changes in working conditions would have前面应该加引导词that；what the effects没有谓语；该句用不定式to investigate作定语修饰experiments不及直接用分词更有效。”但我觉得what the effec的谓语是would have，另外不明白为什么说这里的不定式不如分词有效。
