补充250题第30

30.Freedman’s survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.
(A) no happier than do people living
(B) not any happier than do people living
(C) not any happier than do people who live
(D) no happier than are people who are living
(E) not as happy as are people who live
答案为A，do在这里指代consider themselves吗？我觉得people living in small towns and rural areas应该是与people living in big cities的真实生活情况比较，应该用are,故选E。
我记得有一道题就是这样的，或者是改成no happier than are people living行吗？

如果do指代consider,那么这句话什么意思呢?

小地方的人认为他们不比大城市的人快乐呢?还是小地方的人对自己的生活认知的快乐度不如大城市的人对自己的快乐认知度(怎么翻译不出来要表达的意思呢?)

同意, survey 可以表示的是一种客观状态, 而不是小城镇人的主观态度. 而E虽然语法上没有错误,但是语义表达上和原句有出入了.

E改变了句意了，这里含有一种比...更的意思，而非仅仅指与...不一样啊！

do在这里应该是指代consider themselves。
是两种人对各自生活看法之间的比较。
