考题讲解

题目分析:
本题看起来很长,但是只要能把主干成分划清,很容易得到正确答案。选项A中的amounting to about $72是现在分词短语,做定语修饰four-tenths of one percent,没有错误。

选项分析:

A选项:首先,我们需要将as compared with改为from。这是因为,本句的意思是,明年这个模型的价格将从今年价格的基础上下降72刀,即,decrease A from B。如果用as compared with,则变成A和B的比较了,不符合句子的意思。例如:
The good preparing method decrease 10 mins from the original preparing time.
这句话的意思是,这个好的方法将准备时间减少了10分钟,我们不能写成:
The good preparing method decrease 10 mins as compared with the original preparing time.
这句话的意思是,这个好的方法减少了10分钟,这个10分钟是对比于原来的准备时间的。
其次,比较对象也不对等。应该是钱和钱的比较,不能是钱和车的比较,即,需要改为:
that of comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项:需要将as compared with改为from,措辞错误同(A);比较对象错误同(A)。

D选项:句首出现的compared to是伴随状语,其字面上的主语必须是其主句主语the automobile company。这在逻辑上有误,不能用the automobile company和模型比较。

E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
