Q19: PP74.

A recently published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach the age of 50.

A.other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less

B.other college-educated professionals, by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, to almost $24,000

C.what other college-educated professionals are paid—making an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less

D.those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers to almost $24,000 less

E.those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, and by almost $24,000

为什么选E不选D

我觉得这题考的是平行结构。
原句中使用的就是and连接的两个平行。从忠实原文的角度来说也应该选E
而且D选项by。。。to 也没有这个用法吧？
个人意见哈

我觉得almost $24,000 less
这个说法也是错误的

我觉得这道题考word rebundance, 因为lag far behind 已经有less的意思了，所以划线句再使用less就是赘述。这题我也错了，嘿嘿。一开始也先排除了AB，因为比较对象有问题。然后就分析， what 似乎不太好，至少不如直接those of 对应原文的salaries of, 所以也排除了C。我也选了D,当时就认为E改变了原文意思，哪里知道原来一开始的lag far behind才是这道题真正的陷阱。咱们以后都应该注意。哈哈哈共同学习

楼上正解。关键点在于lag far behind...
