题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:is being emitted时态有误。本题的比较对象是“在机场的车辆释放的污染物量”和“市区所有机动车释放的污染物量”,因此,不能说是“在机场的车辆释放的污染物量”和“市区所有机动车正在释放的污染物量”(这样后者肯定少了,因为只是某一时刻的量)。
B选项:副词annually应修饰动词emit,即,每年地释放,而不能修饰much。
C选项:语法有误,as much as是正确的搭配,不能用as much compared to。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。twice后面可以直接接名词,也可以加as much as。
E选项:过去分词短语compared to应改为介词by。这是因为,后一个比较对象应是“市区所有机动车释放的污染物量”,即,motor vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area是emit的逻辑发出者。被动语态规定,be done by A中的A才是do的逻辑主语。
