题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象不对等。本题想比较的不是两个年份,而是两个年份的价格。检查本选项最合理的比较对象可知,我们真正应该比较的是“现在的价格”和“一年前的价格”。如果只用now,相当于比较的是“一年前的情况”和“现在的情况”,这是不对的。因为“价格的情况”和“价格”是不同的,只有价格才能higher(高低),价格的其它情况或者属性是没有高低之分的。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在逻辑和语法上均是正确的。
C选项:比较对象错误同(A)。
D选项:higher+than是习惯表达,不能加as。
E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
action of hurting is in present progressive tense and hence, means that it is an ongoing action, while the verb raised is in simple past tense. This is illogical since result cannot precede the cause. Therefore, we have a verb tense error in this sentence.
