这道题今天做错了。。。仔细想了一想，做一点贡献给CD。

首先这题的考点我个人认为有两个。
画线部分最后的their和the是第一个；their无指代，所以排除AC。
第二个考点是BDE的2-1splits，B的句首是people，DE的句首是the rate。从逻辑上出发看整个句子。although 后面跟rate其实逻辑是错误的。although the rate of blablabla, the death rates blablabla.
答案选B。

看了07年ron发的帖子。我觉得上述的理解更合理一些。

我一直认为这道题有问题，应该是吃肉的人的比例，而不是肉被吃的速率。

我一直以来也都觉得although后面只能加clause,可是今天看到了一个句子
Although covered in about 11 inches of snow, the runway was in acceptable condition during the emergency landing, according to aviation officials
就很困惑

啊我找到了RON的解释，贴上来大家可以一起看一看
1."although xxxx" ：
• if "(al)though xxxx" PRECEDES the sentence, then "xxxx" can be either a complete sentence or an adjective/modifier.
e.g.,
(Al)though James has never been formally trained in medicine, he is able to identify a wide variety of maladies.
("although" + complete sentence; precedes the main sentence)
also see OG SC problem #39 (can't reproduce here)

(Al)though not formally trained in medicine, James is able to identify a wide variety of maladies.
("although" + adjective-type modifier; precedes the main sentence)
also see OG SC problem #48 (can't reproduce here)

2. "although xxxx"
if "(al)though xxxx" INTERRUPTS the sentence, then "xxxx" should be only a modifier. in this case, "xxxx" should NOT be a complete sentence.

^^ this is something i discovered just now. despite trying, i wasn't able to make a good sentence that's interrupted by "(al)though + complete sentence". i can't guarantee that this is a "rule", though i can vouch for it with a reasonable degree of certainty.

e.g.,
if the interruption follows a noun, then you should have a modifier that describes the noun (adjective-type modifier):
Paula, though exhausted, managed to stay awake through her son's entire piano recital.

if the interruption follows a verb, you should have a modifier that describes the verb (adverb-type modifier):
Audrey just admitted, though inadvertently, how she really feels about her mother-in-law.

also see OG SC problem #36 (can't reproduce here)

3."although xxxx"
• if "although xxxx" FOLLOWS the sentence, then "xxxx" should be a complete sentence. in this case, "xxxx" should not be a modifier/adjective.

(i assume this construction is familiar enough to make examples unnecessary. if you need examples, just say so in a response)

^^ this one is what's relevant to the particular problem at hand. as with the idea above, this is another incidental "discovery" that i can't %100 guarantee is actually a "rule".

--

and here's the weirdest discovery of all: if "though" (NOT "although") follows the sentence, it IS allowed to introduce a modifier.
in this case, the modifier should be an adverb-type modifier; in other words, it should describe the entire action that precedes it.

e.g.,
I wear swimsuits often, though never for actual swimming; I just lie out in the sun.
