问题 A natural response of communities devastated by earthquake or flood is to rebuild on the same site, overlooking the possibility that the forces that caused it could be repeated.
选项 A、overlooking the possibility that the forces that caused it could be repeated
B、overlooking the possibility that the forces causing it could be repeated
C、overlooking that the forces that caused the disaster could also cause another one
D、without considering that the forces causing tie disaster could be repeated
E、without considering that the forces that caused the disaster could also cause another such disaster
答案E
解析 Communities hit by an earthquake or a flood naturally desire to rebuild in the same place, yet sometimes fail to consider that the forces that caused the disaster could cause another, similar disaster.
A    In this choice, possibility is redundant with could. Furthermore, this statement incorrectly suggests that the forces... could be repeated rather than that the disaster itself could be repeated. Note also that the pronoun it has no clear referent.
B    This statement incorrectly suggests that the forces... could be repeated rather than that the disaster itself could be repeated.
C    This choice uses the idiomatically incorrect form overlooking that. This choice is confusing also because overlooking has a physical meaning that can apply, for example, to a site but does not fit with overlooking that.
D    This statement incorrectly suggests that the forces... could be repeated rather than that the disaster itself could be repeated.
E    Correct. This choice clearly conveys the meaning of the sentence and has none of the flaws mentioned above.
The correct answer is E.
