问题 Inflation has made many Americans reevaluate their assumptions about the future; they still expect to live better than their parents have, but not so well as they once thought they could.

选项 A、they still expect to live better than their parents have
B、they still expect to live better than their parents did
C、they still expect to live better than their parents had
D、still expecting to live better than their parents had
E、still expecting to live better than did their parents

答案B

解析 首先排除D、E因为划线之前是“;”,分号前后一般应是两个完整的句子,而D、E不是;退一步讲,D、E中的expecting的语法主语是inflation,而逻辑主语则是many Americans,两者不一致。接着还需强调,这里是对同一群体的不同时间条件下的同一动作的比较,该动作是live而不是谓语动词expect,因为本句比较内容是“活得更好”而不是“更好的期望”。比较之前是现在时,因而C中的had表过去完成时是无根据的;A、B之间的抉择是困难的,是比他们父母一直住得都好呢(A中的have),还是比他们父母过去住得更好呢(B中的did)?从句意上讲,B更符合逻辑。
