题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。比较对象是this year和last year,即,两个年份。
B选项:rise表达了“上升”的意思,而higher表示更高。在逻辑上,rise的结果一定是“使得某物higher”,因此,rise或higher只能存在一个,higher赘余;
另外,higher…than…是习惯用语,higher…over…是不正确的。
C选项:比较对象不对等。比较两个年份的价格在本题中也是可以的,但是,last year's在than的身前无法找到平行对象,可以改为: this year's heating-oil prices are higher than last year's prices.
D选项:higher…over…习惯用语错误同(B)。
E选项:比较对象错误同(C);expect身后不能用宾语从句,而应该用不定式。这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。
RON觉得,“Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last”跟“Prices at the producer level are only 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago”,都是省略了(they were),省略了之后 aren't necessarily faulty,也就是省略不省略都可以接受。比较对象是两个时间段的价格,但不是 those of last year,因为要跟前面的句式保持平行,所以是they were。
比前年的价格多了5 元 5 yuan more than the prices were last year
heating-oil prices will be higher this year than last year✅
heating-oil prices of this year will be higher than that of last✅
this year‘s heating-oil prices will be higher than last year’s✅
从语感上来讲,我更认为A中的last是表示上一年的,去年的,省略的是last后面的prices或last ones。 而不是省略了they were这些。而所谓的比较对象是this year和last year这种说法肯定是错的。than前面的主语是价格,那么比较的只能是这一年的价格和上一年的价格。
1)平行结构
A:Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners 【are paying】 about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than 【they were (paying)】 last year. 比较对象是are paying&were paying eg. I ran faster today than (I did) yesterday.
B:Heating-oil prices are expected to rise higher this year [over❌] last because ——refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil 【more位置有错误】than they did last year
5 dollar a barrel more for crude oil 而不是 5 dollar a barrel for crude oil more
2.比较:但是,last year's在than的身前无法找到平行对象,可以改为: this year's heating-oil prices are higher than last year's prices. ,如果要用所有格形式,则前面的句子必须也要有所有格形式
C比较的是last year's expectation和this year's expectation.
E 比较的两个动作,than后面不用last year's (prices)。
第一个比较 price is higher this year than (that is) last year. "higher 修饰的是price,比较名词" 或者改成 the price rise higher this year than the price did last year —— "higher修饰的是rise,比较的动作"
第二个比较:are paying $5 more than they were (paying last year) 或者 pay $5 more than they did ——more 比较的pay 这个动作,所以比较 were 或者 did
higher…than…是习惯用语,higher…over…是不正确的
than 的前后比较对象得对等
可关键b选项也没改善they这个问题呀。说明这个不是考察点登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
C选项:比较对象不对等。比较两个年份的价格在本题中也是可以的,但是,last year's在than的身前无法找到平行对象,可以改为: this year's heating-oil prices are higher than last year's prices.
heating-oil prices will be higher this year than last year✅
heating-oil prices of this year will be higher than that of last✅
