问题 One view of the economy contends that a large drop in oil prices should eventually lead to lowering interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation, a rally in stocks and bonds, and a weakening of the dollar.

选项 A、lowing interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation,
B、a lowering of interest rates and of fears about inflation,
C、a lowering of interest rates, along with fears about inflation,
D、interest rates being lowered, along with fears about inflation,
E、interest rates and fears about inflation being lowered, with

答案B

解析 划线部分其实是一个并列宾语中的一个部分。根据划线部分后的“股票和债券市场的止跌回稳及美元的疲软”,可以断定划线部分的意思是:利率的降低和对通货膨胀的恐惧的降低。由此可推断出D、E中的中心词为interest rates不对,因为未划线的平行结构中均是抽象名词(a rally,a weakening)为中心词,而interest rates是一具体名词,且D中的along with fearsabout inflation与原意的“恐惧的减少”刚好相反;E中with是无根据的,破坏了平行结构;A是动名词词组,符合状态性名词并列的要求;B、C的a lowering达到了名词化效果,但C中的along with介词短语含义是模糊的,它有可能指利率降低伴随着恐惧减少,更可能是指lead to的一个宾语部分,即导致恐惧,这正好与原意相反。而B中interest rates和fears之间加上and,并在and之后补上of,表明了两者同时降低,正确表达了原意。注意此处:在fear之前补出of的重要性,明确fears about inflation是of的宾语,进而修饰a lowering。另外,未划线部分的aweakening of dollar实际上已提示我们划线部分应采用与其相同的形式。
