问题 Ignoring the admonitions of his staff, the chief financial officer accepted the advice of the consulting company because he believed that the standardized accounting procedures would prove not only inexpensive but reliable indicators of economic performance.

选项 A、he believed that the standardized accounting procedures would prove not only inexpensive but
B、the standardized accounting procedures will prove both inexpensive and also
C、he believed the standardized accounting procedures would prove themselves to be both inexpensive and
D、he believed that the standardized accounting procedures would prove to be both inexpensive and
E、standardized accounting procedures will prove his belief that they are both inexpensive and

答案D

解析 B中有两个缺陷:(1)will prove所表示的一般将来时与主句的一般过去时是不对应的;(2)both与and also的搭配是不正确的。c中也有两令毛病:(1)宾语从句省了标志词that;(2)themselves多余(对照看12-55)。A、D比较:A有一个缺陷,即在not only A1 but also A2结构中,要求两个并列成分不能存在省略,即不能在A1中(或A2中)省略了与A2中(或A1中)相同的部分,如本例A项,not only inexpensive之后就省去了indicators of economic performance,从而导致了A1与A2在形式上不一致。而both A1 and A2结构中,就允许A1和A2共用同一部分,而该部分可在A1中,也可在A2中,如本例的正确选项D(共用部分为indicators ofeconomic performance)。
