考题讲解

题目分析:
本题虽然不长,但选项C和选项D的判断较难。

选项分析:

A选项:unlike连接的两个名词需要在逻辑上平行,即,应该是using XXX和using XXX做比较。

B选项:本选项unlike连接的两者不可比,错误同(A)。

C选项:Unlike是介词,对比对象是主句的主语。在对比对象这个环节上,本选项没有错误。但是,unlike只是表示两个名词具有对比关系,例如:
Unlike A, B is round.
从例句中,我们只能知道A不是圆的,但是A是什么形状,我们并不能明确得知。若例句为:
A is square, whereas B is round
则其揭示了两个句子的关系。
用之于本题,显然地,要想形成对比关系,应该描述清楚cooking with spices的用量。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:本选项可能有些难以判断。实际上,仅仅考查了一个很基础的“实质平行”。Whereas是连词,表示前后两句话有对比关系。真正具有对比关系的,应该是small quantities of spices are used(这里的重心词是use这个事件)和take,而不是本选项中的 the usage of spices is in small quantities(这里的be动词这个状态)和take。但在逻辑上,真正能对比的对象应该是use和take。
