GWD-18-Q31

Between 1990 and 2000 the global economy grew more than it did during the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture to 1950.

A.      Between 1990 and 2000 the global economy grew more than it did during the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture

B.       Between 1990 and 2000 the growth of the global economy was more than that during 10,000 years, from when agriculture began(B)(A)

C.      The growth of the global economy between 1990 and 2000 exceeds that which had been for 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture

D.      The growth of the global economy between 1990 and 2000 exceeds what it has been for 10,000 years, from when agriculture began

E.       The growth of the global economy between 1990 and 2000 exceeded what it did for the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture

答案是A，我选B，为什么错呢

个人觉得用when agriculture began也可以啊

up一下

为什么 from the beginning of agriculture可以， from when agriculture began就不可以呢？

非常感谢！

以下是引用zyhyxm在2008-8-23 10:50:00的发言：
请问此题的E为什么不对？

1 E中的growth不如A中动词形式的grow

2 E中的for the 10000 years不如A中的during the 10000 years， 因为during 有在什么什么之间的含义，表示一个时间段，而且后面用了from 时间一 to 时间二，很好地符合了这一点

A 中的it 特指的是 主语 the global economy ， 

B 中的 that 泛指的是 the growth， 整句话的表意就不明确，from x to y  形式对等

小问下: when agriculture began 是noun clause 吗？

我认为when引导的不是名词性从句

举两个when引导定语从句的例子：

That was the year when he was born.
Sunday is a day when people don't have to go to work

when之前都要有表示时间的名词

而题中when之前没有这类名词，所以引导时间状语从句

而from不能加时间状语从句，所以from+when错！

欢迎指正！
