答：请问这是一本什么书？好象题目质量不好，答案有误。
本题不知道考点是什么。AC选项放在这里没有道理。选B是对的。但是题句本身有问题。这里的found不是复宾动词而是单宾动词。楼上的翻译是“他发现做一些业余爱好的时间比预期的要少”
...,found the time for his hobbies less than he had hoped.
而原题句是：。。。， found less time than he had hoped for his hobbies.
found后只有一个宾语less time 较少的时间。如果在found前加上一个only则更好些：
由于工作繁忙，他只找到比他原选所希望的还要少的时间在他的爱好上。

本题网上找不到，不知道改自什么题目。待考证。
我发现这个百度的搜索引擎确实不如google。google一下，找到此题句的原型：

As a result, he found less time than he would have hoped for his hobbies. There are fewer trees here. For more information about comparison, see paragraphs ...
翻墙才找到，这是从语法书上摘来的一个例句改编而来的题目，我估计在柯林斯词典上有此例句：
'Less' is used to refer to an amount of something that is smaller than another amount. 'Fewer' is used to refer to a group of things that is smaller than another group. 'Less' is usually used before uncount nouns and 'fewer' before plural nouns, but in informal English 'less' is also used before plural nouns.
The poor nave less access to education.
...machinery which uses less energy.
As a result, he found less time than he would have hoped for his hobbies.
There are fewer trees here.

楼主，请再检查一下，选项有没有打错？

Answer 2

B
首先found是过去时态，排除D
“由于繁忙的工作，他发现做一些业余爱好的时间比预期的要少”
这里不是虚拟语气，而是他确确实实期望过，他“期望”是发生在过去的过去，用过去完成时

Answer 3

呵呵，这里很明显是使用了should+have done 结构表示“本来应该/本来能够。。。”的意思，平时对于这样的表达多积累一些就能得心应手的应用。祝学习进步！

Answer 4

我觉得应该选C。翻译为“原本以为”

Answer 5

C should +完成时，表示应该有而实际上没有之意。

Answer 6

B 由于工作繁忙，他能用在自己爱好上的时间比原本希望的还少。hope for 动作发生在found之前，用过去完成时。

Answer 7

就是C 这是虚拟语气拉 should 加动词原形
