问题 When rates were raised in 1985, postal service officials predicted they would make further rate increase unnecessary for at least three years.
选项 A、they would make further rate increase unnecessary
B、they would mean that further rate increases would not be needed
C、that it would not be necessary for further rate increases
D、that the increase would make further rate increase unnecessary
E、further rate increases will not be needed
答案D
解析 A、B中均省略了宾语从句的引导词that，同时they指代有误，无论它指代rates或者officials，代入句中都会产生逻辑不通问题；C中的it指代更是不对，因为在it之前就无单数形式的名词；若说it是形式主句，但句中又并无充当真正主语的动词不定式。E中：同will表示的将来时是与主句动词predicted是不一致的；同时，用被动语态忽略了“not be needed”的原因，而此原因才是本句强调重心。D中用the increase指代“rates were raised in 1985”这一事件，反映了句意：“由于1985年的利率调高使得在三年内不需要再提高利率。”
