关于这题，我觉得
E更合适，因为用了主动语态，A用了被动语态，语法笔记上写的E的错误是from when跟1788太远，这里regardless…是作为插入语，所以这种用法是可以接受的，from when可以很清晰的指代1788，所以我支持这题选E
大家有什么看法？

找到错误了，错在from when上，from是介词，后面只能接名词，不能接从句

一点看法。

原文的中心是围绕all aerodynamically enhanced, curved objects这个objects。 而所谓的非澳洲人只是一个小小的状语，这个"非澳洲人"在原文中其实是可以拿掉的，但为什么还存在？因为要和后面的European进行对比。这就是它的作用。虽然有语法笔记提到过能用主动的却没有用是错误的，但我认为这个By是有自己的作用而不需要提到前面去变成主动。

我认为E的问题

1。made for throwing    boomerangs 不容易被读者分开，歧义

2. regardless of their，their指代不明确了，objects? boomerangs？

3. from when是一段时间，后面用过去式不合适，而且原文只是比较1788那个点的时候不同的人的认识，from when变成了时间段，改变了愿意。

4. E选项没有了对比的意思

5. E的头太重了，应该是属于简洁性/有效性问题

晕...看到3个选项都有from when，一开始还在怀疑自己是不是搞错了

从来没有看到过from when 这种用法的说, 肯定是用since拉, 所以这里很快可以split成  2/3

除了A, 所有的代词指代  their  都有问题...

昨天晚上想了想，今天又查了下资料，from
when+句子是没有问题的，主要是这里的when…要指代前面的since1788就有问题了，since本来就是自从……以来的意思，而这里的
from又有了这个意思，所以语义重复了。C和D的错误也是那个from，其实C和D加不加from都是错误的，因为家了from可以做状语，和前面那个
since 1788重复，不加from做定语，距离忒远

Since 1990 the global economy has grown
more than it did during the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture to 1950.

    

(A) Since 1990 the global economy has grown
more than it did during the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture

    

(B) Since 1990 the growth of the global
economy has been more than that during 10,000 years, from when agriculture
began

    

(C) The growth of the global economy since
1990 exceeds that which had been for 10,000 years from the beginning of
agriculture

    

(D) The growth of the global economy since
1990 exceeds what it has been for 10,000 years, from when agriculture began

    

(E) The growth of the global economy since
1990 exceeds what it did for the 10,000 years from the beginning of agriculture

    

这里B中的from when是不错的，因为是词组里的一部分，from…to…，when引导的句子只是做了一个from的宾语成分，是可以的

    

所以不能看到from when就判定是错误的，要仔细分析才行

PERP注释和楼上观点相悖...

考点：比较、动词形式

1. 1) 比较，相同比较对象的代词指代，代词that通常不单独使用，后面常跟of…。

2. 2) 动词形式，from…o…连接两个过去的时间范围时，用一般过去时态。

3. 2) 动词形式，from…o…连接两个过去的时间范围时，用一般过去时态。

                

(A) 正确，it指代economy，did指grow的过去时。

        

(B) 该选项是名词growth之间的对比，表达不准确，more than之间应该有形空词，如fast；from +when引导的从句用法错误，介词from后面应该加名词。

(C) that指代错误，表达罗嗦不清晰；过去完成时态错误，应该用过去时态。

(D) it指代对象不清楚，表达罗嗦不清晰，且exceeds后面应该用过去时态，而不是现在完成时态；from +when引导的从句用法错误。

(E) it指代对象不清楚，表达罗嗦不清晰。

D and E中的ever since 1788會造成分歧...
