In the textbook publishing business, the second quarter is historically weak, because revenues are low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare for the coming school year.
low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare
low and their marketing expenses are high as they prepare
low with higher marketing expenses in preparation
low, while marketing expenses are higher to prepare
low, while their marketing expenses are higher in preparation
差点错选C
higher的出现没有必要(并没有指出比较对象),low不可以与higher相对应
and可以连接两个句子吗?
higher无比较对象
A和D比,A是并列而D是转折,虽然文意上转折可能有优点,但是D有明显的语法错误---D中不能用higher!!没有对应的对象,而且应该改成 while marketing expenses to prepare for the coming school year are high.
二者都是解释weak的原因,并列最优,无转折意味。
AB 选A B their无所指代
自己 莫名其妙选了higher 比较的对象都没有............
A as 可以作为连词 表示 因为 随着
A选项:两个并列的原因revenues are low and marketing expenses are high; as=when,引导从句
B选项:their指代revenues有问题,后面的they指代模糊;
C选项:higher对比的对象不明确,同时也不和low平行;文意改错了,low revenues have higher marketing expenses,这个在文中没有直接关系
D选项:higher 比较对象不详;to prepare很尴尬
E选项:their指代对象不详;higher比较对象不详;文意被改变;
as做连词后面可以跟句子
higher没有比较对象,排除c,d,e
b, they找不到指代对象
C:higher is not parallel to low, and it gives no indication of what the comparison is supposed to be(higher than what)
C:company缺失不能表任意
