问题 The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
   These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error. [br] Seeking to decrease the incidence of tooth decay, the American Dental Association is to spend $45 million over the next seven years promoting good dental hygiene.
选项 A、the American Dental Association is to spend $45 million over the next seven years promoting good dental hygiene
B、the American Dental Association will spend $45 million over the next seven years to promote good dental hygiene
C、over the next seven years the American Dental Association is to spend $45 million promoting good dental hygiene
D、good dental hygiene will be promoted by the American Dental Association, which is spending $45 million over the next seven years
E、$45 million will be spent by the American Dental Association over the next seven years on the promotion of good dental hygiene
答案 B
解析 "the American Dental Association" is the subject of the introductory phrase "Seeking to decrease the incidence of tooth decay," so it should come immediately after that phrase; C, D, and E incorrectly place other phrases between the introductory phrase and its subject. D and E also unnecessarily use passive verb constructions. The construction "is to spend.., promoting" in A is less idiomatic and forceful than "will spend.., to promote" in B, because, in general, use of a declarative active verb is more forceful than use of a "to be" verb, and infinitives are generally more forceful than gerunds. B is the best answer.
