In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater respect than most Western countries.
(A) most Western countries
(B) most Western countries do
(C) most Western countries are
(D) they do in most Western countries(E)
(E) they are in most Western countries
当时选了C,这样就变成了elderly people跟countries比了,逻辑意思上不对等。
当时没有选E,主要受they的影响,认为是相同的人在日本和在西方国家的待遇不同,存在逻辑错误。
这种想法主要是受OG199的影响(附后)。但是这里的elderly people是泛指,前面的介词短语做状语,而地震那道题是特指一个地震,介词短语修饰前面名词,两者有明显的区别的。
更深层次的挖掘,发现ETS其实已经意识到这个逻辑问题,用in japan elderly people,泛指,而不是elderly people in japan,特指。如果是特指,这道题目就存在逻辑错误,后面应该用than are those in Westen contries.
199 Because the Earth’s crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> than it does in the West.
(A) of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> than it does in the West
(B) of a given magnitude will typically devastate 100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> instead of the West
(C) will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West
(D) in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West(D)
(E) that occurs in the eastern United States will typically devastate 100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West.
