这题好像出现了几次 每次都在凭感觉 求nn给出解释~

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.
A. movies—less than those
B. movies—fewer than have been
C. movies, which is less than those
D. movies, a number lower than the people
E. movies, fewer than the ones

答案选B  
破折号怎么用？  fewer than后面不用加those么？

请nn指教~

这道题我认为考点并不在于破折号。。。。首先，我看到这道题时

1.比较对象问题：比较对象是people不能够用less than来形容，所以，AC很快就可以被排除。
2.number也不应该用lower这样的词来形容，而是应该用large这样的词汇形容。排出了D
3.BE相比
B选项是比较结构的省略。
only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—fewer than have been killed by bee stings.

实际上应该是

only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—fewer than people have been killed by bee stings.
省略了主语people 因为前面不远处就已经存在比较对象，没有必要重复，所以这样省略是可以的。

即：More...than...结构中，than后分句省略主语。

E选项：, ，之间是同位语的结构。但是这里是解释说明的作用，也就是lz所问的破折号的作用。
但是同位语是结构相同可以相互替换，并不是补充解释说明的含义。

需要具体的理解。

希望能够帮lz解决。
