以下是引用Snazzy在2003-12-28 6:06:00的发言: 1, there is logical problem here 'in C and D, the comparative structure higher in quality than it is in wheat absurdly suggests that rice protein contains wheat. ' -------> 'highter in quality than it is n wheat' should suggest that wheat contains rice protein -- wrong. ETS is also allowed to make some mistakes:-). This morning, i did PS portion in math. In question 382, ETS asks us to find which is least, among A) 1/0.2; B)(0.2)*2; C)0.02; D) 0.2/2; E) 0.2 It says B=0.04, thus B is least, the right answer. I was completely stunned by the explanation. And then I began to suspect my eyes, my abilities, ... What the hell is this??? 2, 'rice' must be the subject of teh main clause since it says '... having more protein ...' in the prep. clause.
(C)the protein in rice is higher in quality than it is in
(D) rice protein is higher in quality than it is in
这里比较的部分是in quality和than后面的部分,in quality是修饰the protein in rice(C)和rice protein(D),是表明一种性质,所以假设than后面的部分是正确的,那么肯定也是一种性质,所以wheat就变为了the protein in rice(C)和rice protein(D)的性质了。就有了rice protein contains wheat的解释了。
