考题讲解

题目分析:


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”。
