GWD-1-Q34
Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.

A.people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their

B.people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the

C.fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States's, their

D.the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the(B)

E.the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

题目释义：Although people in France & US consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.

考点：逻辑意思（logical predication）句子结构（grammatical construction）

1.比较对象。

2.逻辑意思。

选项分析：A.rate和US比较，比较对象不对等；their为完全指代，故their指代people in France, 代入句中即death retes of people in France…are far lower in France，语义重复

B.Correct

C.Their指代People in France错误；被动的使用awkward；the United States's后面的省略无法还原，比较对象不明确

D.the rate of fatty foods错，不是foods的rate，而应该是consuming foods的rate；consumed in France and the United States错误，应该在the United States前加in，同时主语rate应改为rates，且谓语动词改为are

E.the rate of people错误，不是people的rate，应该是the rate of consumption；同时rate应改为rates，且谓语动词改为复数，在the United States前加in

为什么B选项的in可以省略，然而DE的in却不能省略？？？？

这是一个习惯。。。
对于不同地域的人群，就可以这样表达，因为一个人不可能同时住在两个地方。
但是对于rate，没有两个in的话，会产生歧义：法国和美国（作为一个整体）的比率

我觉得是因为D省略了会导致句子的意思表达不清
B选项中，France与United States 用来修饰people,这个句子比较的是这两个国家的people consume fatty foods这件事情是 at about the same rate，所以即使省略了in也可以清楚的明白句子所要表达的意思。
但是D选项是直接比较的两个国家消费的the rate of fatty foods，相当于是在说the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the rate of fatty foods consumed in the United States是一样的is about the same，此时若是省略了介词in，就会使得究竟是在比较什么无法清晰的表达了。
个人意见~~仅供参考哈
