A: 最后的like in 1955，比较的逻辑关系模糊。是指“one in every four ”还是指全面全句。正确的：rather than one in every four in 1955.

B\C\D用法上都明显错误。

E:正确，用状语从句，清楚。

(E) Although the breathing capacity of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke on the job has been found to be significantly less than nonsmokers working in smoke-free environments,

A、B、E错，它们在less than 前后比较了capacity 和nonsmokers ，人和能力是不能比较的。

C，although...however...的用法错

所以，D正确。

（越是长划线，越容易看出漏洞，反而一些短句子我常掉进陷阱，朋友们注意了，呵呵）

50. The Census Bureau reports that more than three-fifths of all married couples in the US now have two incomes, significantly more than earlier decades did.
(A) earlier decades did.
(B) earlier decades
(C) in earlier decades
(D) earlier decades have
(E) that in earlier decades

couples in the US now和（couples）in earlier decades 的比较，省略couples。E，应该改为those in earlier decades.

这题目挺难，难在D、E选项更换了语序。这种题目中，我的做法是先考虑没有变化的A、B、C，如果都有明显的错误再去看D、E。因为ETS不倾向于改变整句结构。A：逻辑关系为转折，所以连词“and”错。B：有think of....as, 没有think of... not as的用法，至少我没有见过。即便有，but 后面也应该加一个as。C正确。
