标题: prep1 132

132.       (31556-!-item-!-188;#058&004545)

 

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

 

(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

 

 

考点:比较、句子结构

      比较-compare/contrast的用法,(as) compared to/withGMAT没有区分towith的区别),省略了主语和系动词,即A be compared with/to B,与in contrast to都是惯用法,前后比较对象一定要对等。常见的错误用法有:将compare用作主动(when compare…; comparing…),比较对象不对等

 

上面是prepSC语法笔记中给的解释,不过我记得在白勇语法大全上看到,be compared with be compared to意思不同啊,为什么这里说GMAT不分towith的区别?

然后今天看到下面这题:

153.       (33147-!-item-!-188;#058&006555)

 

A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's home.

 

(A) as compared to households where the

(B) as there are households where the

(C) as those whose

(D) than compared to those where the

(E) than there are whose

 

句子结构:A recent… report shows that there are more than three times as many… as there are … 比较结构。

 

考点:比较、平行对称

1、             比较,比较的习惯用法A as… as… or adj.er than B,常见的错误用法有A as… or adj.er than B(少as; as…as compared to; as… than compared to; as… than等。

2、             平行对称,比较结构中的对比对象尽量要形式对称。

 

(A) as compared to搭配错误as…ascompared to结构重复。

(B) 正确,as… as…连接不同的household对比,where引导定语从句修饰households与前面保持对称。

(C) whose grandparents和前面的where…不对称,household作家庭讲用where指代,而不是whose。。

(D) as… than搭配错误,且as…ascompared to结构重复。

(E) as… than搭配错误;whose grandparents和前面的where…不对称。

132题as compared to就是正确答案,这里又说as compared to是错的?不懂了。。。

The distinction between "compare to" and "compare with" is in reality not strictly observed, and more important, the 132 is a proof that it is not observed by GMAT writers.
