还有一题请教大侠…… 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.

后面那道题:首先根据inidicate that, 表示完整意思,排除DE。A中比较对象不一致,应该比较宾语,CEO earn ...than..., 类似于I eat more than you,比较的是主语,I eat more apples than you, 就变成我吃苹果比吃你快,比较对象要一致。B中a ratio that compares to 42 times, 将a ratio 和42times进行比较,错误,原文的意思是,419times 与42times 比较,而C后面的the ratio,作为42times 的同位语
第一道题,我是这样分析的:根据单复数原则,排除AC,the company是单数。E中of ..one's,这种结构错误,双重所有格错误。而increase 作名词时后面加 in, 动词直接加宾语,正确答案为B:from..to..提到increase后面避免了头重脚轻的弊端,如果还原,为increase its share of...., which.. from...to.....。which引导的非限制性定语从句跳过in the country,修饰market
