以下是引用carolhide在2006-1-15 11:06:00的发言：

我把题目又输入了边，这样大家都看清楚了！

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an everage of 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times in 1980.

(A) that CEO's now earn an everage of 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times

(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, a ratio that compares to 42 times

(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times

这题我觉得是这样的：indicate that+说明的情况，d，e中，indicate的说明对象成了ceo‘s，改变了句子的说明重点，而且be compared to是比较固定的用法。

太奇怪了，我选的是b，但是如果their pay指代的是blue-collar worker's pay的话，419 times the pay of blue-collar workers，as compared to 42 times their pay好像还是挺工整的。

严重支持B. C中的ratio in 1980也有歧义, 既可修饰419times, 也可修饰42 times.
再次证明GmatPrep中bug太多.

误人啊!

什么狗屁题啊,答案都不一样..

"their pay"中的their应该指代的是CEO'S.
所以应该选C。

我开始做的时候也错了，呵呵~~

their从逻辑角度显然应该指代workers，但是不明白为什么没有指CEO‘s的歧义

有谁能从GmatPrep里截个这题的解释看看？

把that换成ratio代入就看出来了

ratio compares to 42

compare应该只有人可以作主语，当然，compared更为普遍

嗯。。再看一下their错的更严重。。而且好像也有 a compare b的例子。。

肯定的说,不是BUG,

在ETS中,习惯于使用重复先行词来表明修饰对象,以避免歧义.

此处,先行词为RATIO.

其实这是个小技巧,发现很麻烦的句型中,忽然发现前面一个词的重复来做先行词的话,二话不说就可以选,正确率在90%以上.

可以统计的.
