(A) 正确, in contrast to比较的对象imbalances和trade deficit概念对等
(B) imbalances和United States概念不对等
(C) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States概念不对等
(D) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States概念不对等
(E) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States record exports概念不对等,且后半句结 构笨拙复杂.句子结构: In contrast to…, the United States trade deficit… declined…
原文大致意思：和对中国和日本的贸易不平衡相比，美国对于墨西哥的贸易赤字下降了，这种下降是由于record exports。
题目分析：读完原文，我们发现是美国对中国日本的trade imbalances和美国对墨西哥的贸易赤字形成了对比，这个对比没有明显错误，我们先留着A。B是trade imbalance和美国这个国家比较了，杀。C犯的错误和B是类似的，杀 D也犯了类似错误，杀 E比较的东西变成了trade imbalance和record exports，这个对应显然语义也不对，杀。
1、trade imbalance不能和 US（国家）平行，杀BCD
2、E改变了原句意思，且对仗远不如A工整
with, compare to等类似的结构,比较的双方必须概念对等.但要注意contrary to放在句首,后面必须
加上idea, belief等抽象名词修饰主句,不存在比较双方的问题. 例: Contrary to popular belief,
victors in the ancient Greek Olympic Games received cash prizes in addition to their laurel
wreaths.
Wrong: WHEN COMPARED TO horses, zebras are vicious.
