885-secE－18

18.    Real similar to a Hollywood movie set with nothing behind the building fronts, the country’s apparent new-found affluence masks a very different reality: most citizens are not living at all well.
(A) Real similar to
(B) Much as if it was
(C) As though
(D) Like
(E) Just as

答案是D，请问E为什么不对？我理解为，just as  movie set with......, the affluence masks ......, 这样理解对吗？
如果是like，那么movie 后面的set with是什么什么成分啊？

a movie set 是电影场景的意思，SET这里不是动词

a Hollywood movie set应该是一起的吧，set with是什么意思？？好象从没见过

Snazzy

'set' here is a past participle describing movie.  it can't be a verb as it doesn't match with 'a movie'.  affluence//movie

Snazzy

i don't think 'movie set' is an idiom. on the contrary, i mean movie that is shot

set 在此是 “布景” 的意思

题目是用a Hollywood movie set与the country’s apparent new-found affluence 作比较的。


正如好莱坞电影布景－建筑物的背后其实什么都没有，一个国家表面的富裕并不能掩饰与之不同的现实－即大部分人生活的并不富裕。

呵呵 我还是坚持我得看法了，请大家指正！

即使set做动词也应该是用与masks一致的一般现在时，而不能用过过去时。

谢谢各位指点，我明白了

此题关于E,问题另外还在于unidiomatic, should be" Just as...., so..." it's right?

while for answer A, according to someone's interpretation, "similar to.." should not be used in front of the sentence, why???
