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.
