OG2017 语法题 关于时态的困惑 一起讨论吧

731. 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 the
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 economic


答案是D         我选了B项
为什么要用would have to know而不可以用have to know呢

用would总觉得是表达过去时的感觉

同意！

Ron說問題不在有沒有would（以下摘錄他說的）：i think this sentence makes sense with either "would have to" or "have to". there's a slight rhetorical difference ("would have to" carries the connotation that these forecasts are just hypothetical and don't actually have to be developed, or that at least it's not important, while "have to" implies that these forecasts are important and have to be made),

Ｂ的錯誤在於economical 節儉的，句意錯誤

不是相反，是虚拟语气所以要用would，表将要

好的明白，谢谢你~

是would+V（原形）表示与现在事实的相反吗？
