131.
Today's technology allows manufacturers to make
small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.
(A) small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their
(B) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their
(C) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in
(D) more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their
(E) more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in

这道题我选A,看不出逻辑哪里错了啊,就说车的现在和以前相比也没错啊。。。

首先de中的more efficient small cars有歧异,b中they好像是指同样的cars,逻辑不对。a的错误在于改变了原句的intended meaning,对比的应该是过去的cars和现在的cars。如果要their有指代歧异,那也OK。,

我不太懂改变了原句的意思这样的解释,难道是说原句即使语法错了,但是逻辑意思永远不会错对嘛?

关键是我怎么知道原句的逻辑意思是什么呢?

亲 题目的语义是现在的车和过去的车相比。就是是两种不同的车,a选项就是车的过去和车的现在相比了(their代指small cars more fuel-efficient now),是同一种车,这样就不合逻辑了。

一读句子就知道逻辑很难做到,多多比较就好,好选项都是比出来的。

从时间上来说,now应该属于any time,但是这里的比较结构中,时间状语应该是now 和at any other time(排除now)进行比较。所以A,B,E都不对
另外,从逻辑意思上说。A选项中,原意要比较的是现在的smalle cars和过去的small cars谁更加“节能”。A的意思只是把时间状语进行比较,最好把those添加出来,明确比较对象是(不同时间的)小车,而不是时间。D选项,比较对象错误,因为those指代的是fuel-efficient small cars,说明过去就有节能小车,但是原句中没有表达这个意思。注意B选项中的they,指代同一事物,即small cars that are more fuel-efficient,错误!
