题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象有误。本选项会让人误以为比较对象是“荷兰在保护海岸线上的花费占据的GNP比重”和“荷兰在美国军事防御费用上占据的GNP比重”。但实际上,真正的比较对象应是“荷兰在保护海岸线不被上涨的海水淹没上的花费占GNP的百分比”和“美国在军费上的花费占GNP的百分比”。
B选项:复数代词they和their没有合理的指代对象。题目中的Holland是单数名词。
C选项:比较对象有误。本选项会让人误以为比较对象是“荷兰在保护海岸线上的花费占据的GNP比重”和“美国军事防护上的花费占荷兰的GNP的比重”。显然不符合逻辑。
D选项:比较对象不对等。不能用“比重(percentage)”和“花费(spending)”相对比,只能是“比重”和“比重”对比。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B they没有指代对象。
C their没有指代对象
D 比较对象错误,前面是Holland,than后面是the military defense
PREP上的解释,可以参考一下:
To be parallel, the comparison should be: Holland spends more x on y than the United States spends on z.
The grammatical structure is the same in each clause: the country is the subject; spends and does (spend understood) are the verbs; (x) the percentage of gross national product is the point of comparison; and (y) on defending ... and (z) on military defense are parallel phrases completing the sentence.
状语和主语的差别,Holland 和US应该做主语
比较平行
B、they无合理指代对象
C、their无合理指代对象
D、Holland主语,spend谓语动词“花费”percentage of its gross national..;than...spending 前后成分无法平行并列
E、than前后句子并列OK
没有。这是一种倒装。比如,你可以说:I ate more apples than you did.
也可以说:
I ate more apples than did you.
这两个的意思是一样的。

哈哈哈~不过GMAC爸爸确实是会考虑这些方面的,当年因为911事件,所以他们就把题库中所有关于911的和世贸大楼的题都删除了。
我一开始也是这么认为的,导致看后面的选项总以为歪曲了原意 = =登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
