E、Modernizing the steel mill, a program that can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980’s, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

答案E

解析 A有两个缺陷:(1)which指代不清,离其真正先行词program太远;(2)it is hoped在which从句中所作成分不清,若it是形式主语,后面就应补出一个由that引导的作主语的名词性从句,但该which从句中无that;若it is hoped作插入成分,则应在其前后用逗号隔开,同样在which从句中无逗号出现;B中:过去分词completed修饰program不妥,因为过去分词表“过去完成”,而显然此计划在说话时还未完成;C看似无太大问题,暂时留下;D中有三个缺陷:(1)全句中无谓语结构,cost与be completed均为which从句中的谓语成分,句子不完整;(2)让人产生误解:be completed和cost共用一个助动词can,且不说并列的形式不妥,cancost的逻辑搭配也有问题;(3)it is hoped作为插入成分,修饰整个which从句,也就是它不仅修饰be completed,也修饰cost,即为“有希望地花去”,这个逻辑搭配同样有问题;E看起来没有问题,再对比C、E,初步的感觉是E中的逗号太多,句子结构显得较复杂,很多考生可能就会因此选C而放弃E,而答案恰恰相反,why?因为C的结构简化导致违背了“公理”中所提到的情态动词不能省的原则,即它省去关键词can。而E看似复杂,其实结构极清晰,aprogram是对主语的同位解释,it is hoped作插入成分。
