OG188 die的用法

188. As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have

died as children of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic

fever now live well into old age.

(A)  that might at one time have died as children

(B)  who might once have died in childhood

(C)  that as children might once have died

(D)  who in childhood might have at one time died

(E)   who, when they were children, might at one time have died

答案是B，别的不说，主要是die的用法不清楚。字典：

die of得什么病而死，to die of an illness

die for 为什么而死 to die for the people..

B，后面的介词呢？即使不用介词，die放在后面紧跟such infection

也很好啊，紧跟修饰词是ets的prefer吧？怎么要在中间加个时间

状语隔开呢？ets很多歧义都是由于时间状语插中间引起的不是吗？

还有 at one time也有曾金的意思吧？我觉得D不错……

谢谢……

up,

大全里这道题(121) of 下没划线, 怀疑OG里是不是把of划错了.

121.        As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have died as children of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.

of 从划线中去掉。从A可以看出。
