题目分析:


选项分析:

A选项:比较对象不对等。具有“一样高(as high as)”关系的应该是“去年的利率(interest rates last year)”和“1980年代的利率(interest rates in the early 1980s)”,不是“去年的利率(interest rates last year)”和“1980年代”。

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项:they were not nearly at the levels they were in the early 1980s中的levels并没有写明是哪种levels。可能是高度的等级,也可能是受关注度的等级。因此,本选项是有歧义的。

D选项:时态不对。approach处于过去完成时中,但该事件并不是出现在一个明确的过去时间的过去的。因此,只能用过去时,而不能用过去完成时。

E选项:本选项approach事件处于过去进行时中,时态依旧错误。
