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”。
关于expect的用法,曼哈顿有下面几种:
曼哈顿:
① expect+ noun
② Subject+ expect+ that+ noun+ will... We expected that the price will fall.
③ Subject+ expect+ noun+ to... We expected the price to fall.
④ It is expected that... It is expected that the price will fall.
⑤ There is an expectation that...will... There is an expectation that the price will fall.
所以,it is expected that sth will do以及sb is expected to do的用法都是没问题的,有问题的是sb/sth is expected that 。如果这样看,不太理解E选项中expect身后不能用宾语从句,而应该用不定式的说法。。。
seconded
認為可能是與optionA對比之下,不夠簡潔, 所以optionA is better, optionE 並沒有錯
