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。
A than后面省略的主语部分是a percentage of the gross national product,句子的意思就变成了”荷兰在保护海岸线上的花费要比他们花在美国军事防御上的花费要多“。
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.
代词无指代
状语和主语的差别,Holland 和US应该做主语
比较平行
A、主语是percentage,Holland是状语描述spent动作“花费动作在Holland”语意错
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
中学时的考试重点spend time/money on sth/in doing sth 的规则GMAC不认。。。
C. 双重所有格
a,句首的in holland让人感觉是在全句子的状语,所以和后面的in us并不平行
考点:对比,平行
A选项中的than is spent on military defense in the United States就可以直接这样说,没有语法错误吗,需不需要加一个形式主语it?

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。

一开始我就以为是“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”,还在想GMAC老头也太敢出题了
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 = =

第二遍做选对了!B 的they应该是无指代吧。CD的比较不对。并且C的所有格也不对吧。
