Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because re? ners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were last year. (A) Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because re? ners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were (B) Heating-oil prices are expected to rise higher this year over last because re? ners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did (C) Expectations are for heating-oil prices to be higher this year than last year’s because re? ners are paying about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did (D) It is the expectation that heating-oil prices will be higher for this year over last because re? ners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil now than what they were (E) It is expected that heating-oil prices will rise higher this year than last year’s because re? ners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did
这题选A,OG上说E选项than last year's不平行,要改为than last year与前面this year平行。last year's难道不能指last year's heating-oil prices,与前面的heating-oil price平行么?
也就是说本题句意上来看是【Prices will be higher this year than last year】,是想说“今年的油价比去年高” 那E选项,如果像你那样理解的话,句子中省略的do就指代的是rise,那句意也就变成了【今年油价涨得比去年高】;这就不是作者要的语义了。 那如果为了保留原语义,只能将结构理解为状语的比较。OG的解释就是基于这个假设(正确的语义)上说的,说这个状语结构比较不平行。。
