题目分析:
本题具有比较词more…than…。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象不正确,我们应该比较的是不同时间的两件事,而不是两个时间(now)。
B选项:economic和economical的意思不同,前者是“经济”的意思,后者是“节约的”意思,在逻辑上,和“社会(social)”产生并列关系的应该是“经济”,而不是“节约的”。
C选项:economic和economical错误同(B)。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:比较对象不正确错误同(A)。
必须注意,would have to的出现在英语中有些限制,那就是要求本句或紧邻的上下文中如有“目前并非如此”之类的明确表达或与事实及公认常识明显不符,否则宜用have to而不是would have to。还有在强调“必须性”时,比如你说“法律规定,每个儿童都必须受教育”,尽管你知道有很多失学儿童,可这里是强调必须,就还得用have to而不能用would have to。
