还没有题目讲解（毕出老师会陆续发布对官方考题的解读，请保持关注）。
1. 由句意知画线部分前后比较的是countries和具体的国家，因而前后需平行，由此排除C，C选项those 无指代对象；
2. A as varied as B, C ...是习惯用语，as varied as前后都不能加系动词，排除B/E；
3. D：此题考察的是A as varied as B, 在countries后加that are是多余的，破坏了习惯用语A as varied as B。排除D。做题时选择D，不该，泪奔！！

习惯用语-A as varied as B，A和B要平行，B用来解释、举例A。
Similarly, the wrong answer (D) seems to imply that EACH country is somehow as 'varied' as EACH other country. That's not the intended meaning, which is that the SET of countries is varied.
If I'm in San Francisco, then sentence #2 means, strangely enough, that I get mail from cities that are all exactly 3,082 miles away (the distance from SF to Providence). Sentence #1 implies no such thing.
There's a very subtle difference in meaning, although Stacey is correct that the main issue is that of redundancy/wordiness. But consider the difference between these two sentences, which would illustrate the point:
(1) I get mail from cities as far away as Providence.
(2) I get mail from cities that are as far away as Providence.
So-called green taxe are having a positive effect on natural resource base of countries （as varied as） China, the Netherlands, and Hungary. a as varied as b , 就是说像中国荷兰匈牙利一样的以自然资源为基础的国家
