问题 After the Colonial period’s 50 percent mortality rate, life expectancy improved for children, but as late as the nineteenth century about one child in three died before reaching the age of six.

选项 A、After the Colonial period’s 50 percent mortality rate, life expectancy improved for children, but
B、Even though children’s life expectancy, which improved over the Colonial period’s 50 percent mortality rate,
C、Although life expectancy for children improved after the colonial period, during which the mortality rate was 50 percent,
D、While there was an improvement in life expectancy for children after the 50 percent mortality rate of the Colonial period, still
E、Despite children’s life expectancy improvement from the Colonial period’s 50 percent mortality rate,

答案C

解析 E中用despite引导让步状语不恰当,在“公理”部分已提到,其不能准确句意。B中的表达使整个句子缺乏主句,句子不完整。A中有两个缺陷:(1)句意模糊,前后逻辑关系很疏松;(2)after短语的含义不清,for children本应用来修饰life expectancy却放在了谓语动词immigrated之后,不知何意。D中still余,after短语中核心词为mortality rate,导致after短语在句中理解不通(并非时间状语)。
