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”。
考察:
前:one is expected to do..
中:be higher this year than last-》应该是price作主语; 比较级+than而不是over
后: refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were----比较平行,系动词不同时不能省略,而且动词是are系动词而不是do动词
ab选项,more than,
e选项:
we expect the price to fall
we expect that the price will fall
it is expected that the price will fall
the price is expected to fall
以上都对,e错在prices will rise higher this year than last year's,比较对象不对等,price不能和所有格对比,除了last year‘s没有其他所有格出现
