[求助]再请教GWD-26-Q20

In 1981 children in the United States spent an average

of slightly less than two and a half hours a week doing

household chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six

hours a week.

A.     chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours

a week（they指代不清，排除）

B.     chores; by 1997 that figure had grown to nearly

six hours a week（过去完成时？？）

C.     chores, whereas nearly six hours a week were

spent in 1997（逻辑不对，一周6小时，这是一个频率，不能were spent，排除）

D.     chores, compared with a figure of nearly six hours

a week in 1997（主语是children，不能与a figure比较？？）

E.      chores, that figure growing to nearly six hours a week in 1997（growing不对，排除）

偶能确定排除的是ACE，但是B和D好像都有问题，应该如果选择？答案是B，谢谢指教！

用过去完成时是正确的，因为前面有by 1977，是一个过去一直到1977的过程，但是我觉得B的逻辑读起来怪怪的，为什么先说1981，然后说by 1997 that figure had grown to near six hours a week，好像时间是倒着走的，另外我得问题是为什么A不行，我觉得they很明显不可能指hours，只可能指children呀！

哎呀，真是老眼昏花了，如果是1997的话我觉得b很好了，A的they是错了，因为此children已非彼children了

对啊，by 1997要用完成时没有错，但是明明在1981年用的是过去时，那现在好像1997反倒是发生在1981之前似的，所以才觉得特别怪。。。

再顶，希望多些讨论，谢谢

再顶

这个阿  这句话应该是摘自一个调查报告什么的吧  如果这篇报告写在98年以后的某一年，B就说的通了吧
：P

还是觉得怪。。。不过现在再看还是觉得B比较好一些吧...

偶不较劲了。。。-_-

关于小孩不能与数字比较的说法，下面一题怎么解释？

108.       (30099-!-item-!-188;#058&004651)

 

In the United States, while the number of foreign-born residents and their children is higher than ever, the percentage of the population they represent is not; in 1910 this group made up 35 percent of the population when compared to 20 percent in 2000.

 

(A) population when compared to 20 percent in 2000

(B) population as compared to 2000, when it was 20 percent

(C) population, comparing it with 20 percent in 2000

(D) population, unlike 2000, with 20 percent

(E) population, compared with 20 percent in 2000
