134. Canadian scientists have calculated that one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite, while each year sixteen buildings can be expected to sustain damage from such objects.

(A)one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite

(B)a human being should be struck by a meteorite once in every nine years

(C)a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years

(D)every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite

(E) every nine years a human being should be struck by a meteorite

正确答案是D,我在对比了D、E两个选项后最终栽在E上.

最后的解释也没看懂，为什么D要用将来时呢？E如果不用should，用一般现在时的话对吗？

should, 应该...

E. 每9年流星就应该砸死一个人！ 太夸张了吧。还是 will 好些。

觉得will be 确实比should好，但是记得should也有表示预测的意思啊？

LONGMAN对should的解释有一项是 used to say that you expect something to happen or be true

如：It should be a nice day tomorrow.

       Try phoning Robert - he should be home by now.

是不是钻牛角尖了，可是清清楚楚记得高中老师讲过

OG里面的解释是这样的：

should carried the suggestion, especially unwarranted in this context, that the Canadian scientists are describing what ought to happen.

The use of the indefinite article in a human being is appropriate for describing what is expected to be true only on average.

韦氏里对will还有这么一个解释 used to express frequent, customary, or habitual action or natural tendency or dispositoin

所以will在这里并不是表示预测的虽然should确实有julieta说的用法用在这里也不对

我想請問一下

如果把D的will 改成would 可以媽?

every nine years a human being would be struck by a meteorite

不对,整句都是现在时态而would表示过去将来时态不对.另外would还可以表达虚拟这里说的是科学家估计的一个真实情况就是平均9年就有一个人被流行砸死.而不是虚拟的情况.

的确需要深入理解句子的原意呀。

我做题时候根本就把D选项排除了。
