问题 As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have died as children of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.

选项 A、that might at one time have died as children
B、who might once have died in childhood
C、that as children might once have died
D、who in childhood might have at one time died
E、who, when they were children, might at one time have died

答案B

解析 根据句意,这里不同时期(过去与现在)之间有一个对比,可采用我们在首篇中讲到的对称性解题思路,在A中,前面有一个as children,后面未划线部分却是一个old age,两者从形式及意义上都不能形成较好的对称性,故立刻排除A、C(as children)和E(children)。B、D之间比较:D中有一缺陷,at one time此固定短语有两个含义: “曾经”和“立刻、马上”,会导致歧义;而B中用once代替此短语,表明“马上”,明确简洁。
