整体3－32

Q32:

To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic determinants of fertility.

1. have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic
   
2. have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
   
3. would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
   
4. would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economic
   
5. would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical

E 为什么用would? More than 为什么省略 they do

偶选ｄ　首先　economic 　定下来　然后要有将来和现在的对比。原体充分显示了这个对比需要。第三　要省略　ｔｈｅｙ　ｄｏ　 由于主句无宾语，故可省略ｔｈｅｙ　ｄｏ　不会引起歧义。　关于单纯时间对比　的题我问过一道讨论了很长时间　最后就是　直接接时间状语从句。　这里的同　ｔｈａｎ　ｕｓｕａｌ

economical means pertinent to economic;

136. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.

(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic

(B) it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical

(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic

(D) such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical（A）

(E) there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical

Choice A is best: is links the noun schistosomiasis with its modifier, debilitating, and so debilitating that idiomatically introduces a clause that provides a further explanation of debilitating. Choices B, D, and E produce awkward, wordy, imprecise, or unidiomatic phrases by substituting the noun debilitation for the modifier debilitating. Choices B and D fail to introduce the explanatory clause with that, and C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause. Finally, B, D, and E wrongly use economical instead of economic to mean “pertaining to the economy.”

I vote for D.  Social and economic is definitely right.

    我选D，economic和social意思上才对应，social和economical意思不对应

    they do满好，那里错？？
