问题 According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which has already been approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.
选项 A、According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which has already been approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.
B、Already approaching 19 pounds a year in the United States, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.
C、The National Pasta Association predicts by the twenty-first century that per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, which is already approaching 19 pounds a year, will achieve 30 pounds a year.
D、By the twenty-first century, the National Pasta Association predicts that per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States, having already approached 19 pounds a year, will reach 30 pounds a year.
E、According to the National Pasta Association, per-capita consumption of pasta in the United States is already approaching 19 pounds a year and will reach 30 pounds a year by the twenty-first century.
答案 E
解析 A中：which从句语法上的先行词为the united States，而从句意上分析，其先行词应是：per capita consumption of pasta，两者不一致，排除A。B从语法上讲，approaching短语的主语是Association，而从逻辑上讲，其主语应为percapita consumption，两者不一致，排除B。C、D中by时间短语放在主句中，表明是修饰predicts这个动作的，这显然改变了原意(by短语本是修饰will reach 30 pounds)，同时，by时间短语一般要求谓语动词是将来时或过去完成时，本句中的predicts也不满足此条件。E用了两种不同时态下的动作并列，表明了两种时间条件的状况(请注意此处现在进行时与A中的完成进行时的含义区别：①完成进行时：表从过去开始到现在一直在“逼近”，似乎只“逼”不“近”。②而现在进行时表目前之状态：正在接近，隐含从过去发展到现在的结果，更符合句意)。同时，reach比achieve更准确，因为achieve主要与“成就，发展”等搭配。
