题目分析:本题难度比较低,只要能把宾语从句中的主语以及一些简单的“比较”搞清楚就可以选出答案。
选项分析:
选项A:首先,在习语上应该是the ratio of A to B而不会用with。这是因为,讨论的是A到B的比率,所以应该表示方向的介词to,而不是表示“随着”的介词with。其次,本题的比较对象是“女性的收入”和“男性的收入”,由于earnings是复数名词,所以需要把单数代词that of改为those of。最后,宾语从句的主语是ratio是单数名词,所以谓语动词需要用has been而不能用have been。
选项B:that of应改成those of错误同选项(A)。另外,时态有误,宾语从句最后的时间状语是自“从1960年(since 1960)”,因此,其中的谓语动词必须用现在完成时。当然,本选项依然存在主谓一致的错误,同选项(A)。
选项C:宾语从句的主谓一致错误同选项(A)。
选项D:with应该改成to错误同选项(A)。主谓一致错误以及时态错误同选项(B)。
选项E:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
the ratio of A to B; A & B必须是可比的
the ratio of A to B,所以应该是women's earnings :men's easrings,主语为ratio,谓语为has been
