问题 Rather than continue to produce most of the items necessary for subsistence, a growing number of farm families during the first decades of the nineteenth century began to specialize in the production of grain or cotton and to use the cash proceeds from selling their crops for buying necessities.
选项 A、selling their crops for buying
B、the sales of their crops for buying
C、their selling of crops so as to buy
D、their selling crops for buying of
E、the sale of their crops to buy
答案E
解析 本题中有三个语法点值得注意：rather than短语在句首，continue用原形与主句中的began相对应(在第五章平行结构中有对rather than的用法详述)，specialize in sth．及use sth．to do sth．。在这里，仍然是在考查用selling还是用sales的选择。同上题一样，在心中默问自己：cash proceeds是来自销售这个动作selling呢，还是来自于销售谷物后的结果sales?从逻辑上讲，用sales更好，再加上use的用法，我们可选择E。其实，在考试现场，如果你熟悉use的用法的话，那么只有一个选项可供选择，即E。
