In choice A, the past perfect had confronted illogically places the 1986 events in the same time frame as Never before had.; a simple past tense is needed to present the 1986 events as following the earlier ones. Choices B and C awkwardly place at once between confronted and its direct object, changes. Furthermore, B illogically states that the Act itself was many changes, when the point is rather that it presented many changes, and as many. that is an unidiomatic comparison. Choice E, too, presents an unidiomatic comparison with so many. that.大全二-105.An inventory equal to 90 days sales is as much as even the strongest businesses carry, and then only as a way to anticipate higher prices or ensure against shortages.(A) as much as even(B) so much as even(C) even so much as(D) even as much that（A）(E) even so much thatThe idiomatic form for this type of comparison is as much as. Thus, choice A is best. The phrase so much as is used unidiomatically in choices B and C; so much as is considered idiomatic if it is preceded by a negative, as in “She left not so much as a trace.” In choices C, D, and E, even is misplaced so that it no longer clearly modifies the strongest businesses. Moreover, the use of that rather than as is unidiomatic in choices D and E.大全二-149.Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did(B) so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those(C) as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those（D）(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they didThe properly completed sentence here must (1) use the proper form of the comparative conjunction, as fast as; (2) enclose the parenthetical statement and. even faster than in commas; and (3) preserve parallel structure, clarity of reference, and economy by using those to substitute for land values in the completed comparison. D, the best choice, does all these things correctly. A and B use so unidiomatically in place of as. A and E omit the comma needed after than and use the confusing and unparallel what they did instead of those. C omits the second as needed in the comparative conjunction as fast as.大全二-266.In a recent poll, 86 percent of the public favored a Clean Air Act as strong or stronger than the present act.(A) a Clean Air Act as strong or stronger than(B) a Clean Air Act that is stronger, or at least so strong as, so应该改成as(C) at least as strong a Clean Air Act as is(D) a Clean Air Act as strong or stronger than is（E）(E) a Clean Air Act at least as strong asE, the best choice, is concise, clear, and idiomatic. Choices A, B, C, and D may be faulted for constructions that are cumbersome, unnecessarily wordy, or unidiomatic. Choices A and D require as strong as instead of as strong. Similarly, B is missing than after stronger, and so should be as. In C and D, is should be dropped. Even with revisions, these choices are more wordy and awkward than the best answer.大全OG86-2.Child prodigies are marked not so much by their skills but instead by the fact that these skills are fully developed at a very early age.(A) but instead(B) rather than(C) than(D) as（D）(E) so much asThe idiomatic form for this kind of statement is not so much by X as by Y.

The statement in B is also redundant in that the notion of greater is contained in at least as great, and may be would be better than is for expressing a distinct possibility.

In choice E, so and home are faulty. This is a difficult question.大全OG86-18.Nowhere in Prakta is the influence of modern European a
