再贴一遍题: 25. (25704-!-item-!-188;#058&002607)
There is a widespread belief in the United States and Western Europe that young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents and that the source of the change lies in the collapse of the "work ethic."
(A) a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents (B) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents (C) a smaller commitment to work and a career than that of their parents and grandparents (D) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents had 答案:D (E) a lessening of the commitment to work and a career that their parents and grandparents had 我觉得这道题在than后面不不出助动词完全没有问题,因为是否补出来是看是否会产生歧义,这里如果要产生另外一种意思的话只能是young people have less of a commitment to work and a career than to their parents and grandparents 。而事实上,没有这个to,所以their parents and grandparents 只能和主语young people 平行。至于D项不加did却加had很诡异啊,哪位NN解释一下这个had表示的是什么意思? |
