[讨论]prep31, 答案和gwd不一样

prep31. 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.

1. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

2. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

5. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

A: compared to比较对象不对等

B: a ratio that compares的compare不能用主动方式表达，应该是被比较

C: correct

D: 句子结构不对

E: 句子结构不对，应用宾语从句

GWD的解释:

B is the best，a ratio that ...用ratio指代前面经常是ETS正确答案的标志

好多题目和gwd的答案不一样~而且答案很迷惑  请牛牛帮忙

GWD 这道题目答案不是 C 吗？

    be compared to 被比作
　　compare A with B　将ＡＢ做比较　
　　compare A to B  将Ａ比作Ｂ
　　compare with 比得上

    compare...with...把……和……比较(常表示同类相比)

　　compare...to...把……比作……(常表示异类相比)

　　Let's compare this article with that one.让我们把这篇文章和那篇文章作一下比较.

　　The heart is often compared to a pump.心脏常被比作水泵.

　　compare的过去分词短语形式用作状语时,不管同类还是异类,compared with和compared to都可以用.例:

　　Compared with/to western countries,China uses materials very carefully.和西方相比,中国使用物资很节省.

　　In the 16-19 age group,32% of women smoke,compared to/with 28% of men.在16-19岁年龄组中,与28%的男人相比,有32%的女人抽烟.

有帮助吗？

看来是C好一些？

2、C中的  419 times the pay与42 times their pay比较，the ratio…是同位语；

3、摘自GWD阅读的一个句子：Industrialization was well advanced in both countries by 1920: over 33 percent of American workers were employed in various industries, as compared to 44 percent of Swiss workers.（GWD-4-5~7）

如果LZ觉得B好，那么C哪里不妥？

as compared to 的逻辑主语应该是CEO吧?

这样就是CEO与their pay比较了?

我觉得42times后面的the pay应该可以省略吧.前面已经提到过.OG中比较多这样的例子

而且用a ratio总结前面仿佛也是GMAC比较喜欢的DD...

胡言乱语,还请指教

42 times their pay

their指代不清，不知是ceo还是蓝领，所以b好

厄。。。想问一下as compared to 这个结构，好像没怎么在正确答案中看到过唉。。。

另外，同意wei_wangyan：

1、 B中的ratio无法与后面的42 times进行合理的比较（ratio应该是 ** times the pay而不只是** times）；

ratio应该是一个数字嘛~times这里面是动词啦。

不过考试的时候碰到肯定歇菜了，想不了那么多，估计选B了就
