今天做了一套GWD 对其中一道语法题的答案有疑意, 特此跟大家讨论一下. 题目如下:
To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic determinants of fertility.
A.have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic
B.have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
C.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
D.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economic
E.would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical
我选A, 答案给的是E. 首先,我没发现A 有什么不对; 其次,从词的意思上说,应该是 economic determinants, economical 是节俭的意思,应该排除B, C, E.最后,也没有什么特别的理由,把have to 改成would have to, 也就是D答案.
实在不明白,请赐教!! 谢谢!!
tip: 楼主,置顶贴中有讨论。
demographer,n,人口统计学家
economical,节约的,经济的(不合本题意)
economic,经济上的,经济学的
A,比较对象不匹配,主要是没有用would
B、C、E,economical不合题意
D is the best
本题的would的用法:used when talking about a possible situation that you imagine or want to happen.
这里是两种情况的完整比较,主谓状的完全比较,因为谓语和状语都不相同,所以这里全部没有省略。
thank you very much!!!
