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”。
省略I ran faster today than (I did) yesterday. 并不是今天比昨天快,而是今天我跑得比昨天快
同理,heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than (heating-oil prices were expected to be) last year.

从句表示的是一种“客观性”,即,表达一种状态的稳定(process)。
因此,对于不定式和从句的区别,我们可以近乎照搬所有不定式和ing的区别的判断标准。
2.
A:prices are higher this year than last(省略了year)
B:This year's prices are higher than last's
两者不要混合使用,A中是这个价格今年和去年情况的比较(重在比较都是这个物品的价格在不同年份的比较,有点像动态的一个上升 过程),B中是今年的价格和去年的价格的比较(重在比较两个不同的价格,有点像两个点的静态比较)
——取自外网解析和自己理解
C选项:this year than last year's比较不对等;
D选项:It is the expectation that--wordy
E选项:同BC;It is expected that--wordy
c的字面意思是expectations are to be higher 而不是prices because后面 are paying 对应的是they did 也是错误的
e的字面意思价格上涨这件事被预计了 而不是价格被预计上涨 是有区别的
首先 higher。。。than。。。固定的idiom——排除bd
其次 第一个than对比前后要一致
this year‘s than last’s 平行 this year than last 平行
所以排出ec
选a
B rise higher重复 比较级用than不用over
C Expectations( for heating-oil prices) are to be higher this year than last year
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,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.
og17第758题A选项
Prices at the producer level are only 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago,给出的解答是比较错误,
为什么这题就是对的呢?
这个我也觉得毕老师给出的解释有点矛盾,看一下ron关于比较的讨论吧,我觉得比较实用https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/post108547.html?hilit=omission&sid=690f50b602b417b61a4cef36a0d8d0b6#p108547登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
