问题 The rise in the Commerce Department’s index of leading economic indicators suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that the mixed performance of the index’s individual components indicates that economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first quarter of this year.

选项 A、suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that
B、suggest that the economy is to continue expansion in the coming months, but
C、suggests that the economy will continue its expanding in the coming months, but that
D、suggests that the economy is continuing to expand into the coming months, but that
E、suggests that the economy will continue to expand in the coming months, but

答案E

解析 根据主谓一致原则,谓语动词suggest的主语是the rise,由此可排除A、B。再根据句意,本句是一个由but连接的转折并列复合句,因而A中but之后的that多余。由此也可排除C、D。E中,but之后去掉了多余的that,宾语从句用了continue to do sth.符合习惯用法。另外一种解法是根据continue的习惯用法,迅速排除A、B、C,再根据but转折关系及but之后的that属多余,排除D,同样得正确答案E。在本题suggest之后的that从句中的谓语动词并未按虚拟要求用原形,这主要是因为这里suggest表示“表明,显示”而非“要求,建议”。其实对于suggest的后一种含义的用法在本题中对我们解题无任何帮助。此例仅为提请注意。
