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)。
如果要用助动词来省略性表达前面出现过的一个谓语动词,被省略句子必须与前面句子的时态一致。如果两者的时态不一致,后面的从句不能用省略表达。
eg.:
Right: I have never seen an aardvark, but my father has.
Wrong: I have never seen an aardvark, but last year my father have.
Right: I have never seen an aardvark, but last year my father saw one.
除非不会导致歧义,如:
Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they do.
