Despite recent increases in sales and cash flow that have propelled automobile companies' common stocks to new highs, several industry analysts expect automakers, in order to conserve cash, to set dividends more conservatively than they were
to set dividends more conservatively than they were
to set dividends more conservatively than they have been
to be more conservative than they have been in setting dividends
that they will be more conservative than they were in setting dividends
that they will be more conservative than they have been to set dividends
题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：抛开插入语 in order to conserve cash，本选项主干为：
several industry analysts expect automakers to set dividends more conservatively than they were
在逻辑上，需要比较的对象应为“预期中的制造商的派放股利行为”和“制造商曾经的派放股利行为”。因此，than身后应改为than they have done。
B选项：本选项错误同(A)。
C选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项：从句that they will be more conservative需改为不定式短语to be more conservative。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题，由于发生这种变化的部分为expect的宾语的补足语，所以应根据expect的约束力判断。显然地，expect的约束力较强，宾补需用不定式的形式。
E选项：本选项错误同(D)。
A. 实义动词 to set （表达预测，将来时）与系动词 were 不平行；to set div. more conservatively than they have done
B. to set 与 have been 不平行，要在been 后面加上setting或改为have set以修正平行
C. be + adj. + in doing sth. ；to be表示从现在开始的未来，have been从过去到现在
D. expect sb. that 错误，只能用expect that 或 expect sb to do；were错误
E. expect错误同上；to set 错误
