考题讲解

题目分析:
略 

选项分析:

A选项:比较对象不正确,应该比较的是英国的面积而不是英国本身,即,应改为:
Laos has a land area about the same as that of Great Britain
另外,population不应该用where修饰。where引导的定语从句只能修饰地点名词。

B选项:本选项中Laos是there is a population of only four million的地点状语。其描述的是“在老挝里,这仅有400w人口”,这是不合逻辑的,例如:
(1) 在中国,这有一辆车。(In China, there is a car.)
(2) 中国有一辆车。(China has a car) 
两个例句的意思是完全不同的。句(1)中,我们无法确定这辆车是否属于中国所有,例如这辆车的主人是个美国人,他把车放在了中国境内,但你不能说,这辆车就是中国的。用之于本题,显然地,一定是“老挝自己仅仅拥有400w人口”。
另外,“老挝有多少人口”和“这些人口的分布情况”不应该是并且(and)关系,而应该是主次关系。因为,人口分布情况是在介绍老挝人口情况的。(依图形背景原则

C选项:Laos不是拥有population of only four million的主语错误同(B)。

D选项:
“老挝有多少人口”和“这些人口的分布情况”并列错误同(B)。

E选项:
Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
