选项 A、declining sales of up to fifty percent but predicted that the industry as a whole will maintain a volume of sales fairly close to last year
B、declines in sales of up to fifty percent but predicted that the industry as a whole would have maintained a volume of sales fairly close to last year
C、up to fifty percent in declining sales but predicted that the industry as a whole would maintain a volume of sales fairly close to last year’s
D、sales declines of up to fifty percent but predicted that the industry as a whole would maintain a volume of sales fairly close to last year’s
E、declines up to fifty percent of sales but predicted that the industry as a whole will have maintained a volume of sales fairly close to last year’s
答案 D
解析 The sentence reports one analyst’s views about the liquor industry’s sales performance this year: there will be large declines in sales in a few liquor stores, and this year’s sales volume will be close to last year’s sales volume.
A    This choice is incorrect because it refers to sales themselves rather than to declines in sales. Furthermore, it compares a volume of sales with a year.
B    This choice incorrectly uses would have maintained after the simple past predicted.
C    The phraseology have experienced up to fifty percent is incorrect, since a percent cannot be experienced. The phraseology up to fifty percent in declining sales fails to indicate clearly that sales declined by fifty percent from the previous year.
D    Correct. This choice correctly refers to declines, uses the correct would maintain, and correctly compares this year’s sales volume with last year’s sales volume.
E    This choice incorrectly uses will have
maintained after the simple past predicted.
The correct answer is D.
