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.
The family’s mood, which had been enthusiastic at the beginning of the trip, sank as the temperature has risen, dramatically, but not enough for calling off the whole trip.
选项 A、has risen, dramatically, but not enough for calling
B、has risen, but not dramatically enough to call
C、rose, but not so dramatically as to call
D、rose, but not dramatically enough to call
E、rose, but not dramatically enough for calling
答案D
解析 The verb form "has risen" is supposed to describe an action simultaneous with "sank," so it should be in the same verb form as "sank," and so "rose" is a better verb form for this sentence; this excludes A and B. C inaccurately implies that the sinking mood itself could call off the trip; D and E correctly suggest that the sinking of the family’s mood is a possible justification for calling off the trip. Between D and E, D is preferable because the construction "not... enough to call off" is more concise and forceful than "not... enough for calling off." D is the best answer.
