The population of Chinese smokers is increasing and almost one third of the smoking population____________young people in their twenties.
A:are
B:is
C:is made up of
D:are made up of
该选A还是D?为什么?
There is nothing______ crossing the marshland during the Long March.
A:comparing to
B:comparing with
C:to compare with
D:compared to
这道题又应该怎么选呢?
当主语是表示人口的百分之几、几分之几时,谓语动词用复数形式,又因为前面有了三分之一,后面就不用 made up of 以免句式杂糅.第一题A
第二题 意思是,这跟长征里的过草地比起来根本没什么.在正规的英语里,compare to 表示“比喻为……”、“比拟”,是指出两者之间的关系或相似.例如:
We often compare a teacher to a candle.我们常把老师比喻成蜡烛.
Chinese people compare Maozedong to the sun.中国人把毛泽东比作太阳.
Poets have compared sleep to death.诗人将睡眠比作死.
Books can be compared to friends.书可以比喻为朋友.
compare with则表示“把…和…相比”,“比较”,是指研究评判人与人之间、事物与事物之间相同或相异的程度.例如:
Please compare your translation with the model translation on the blackboard.请把你们的翻译和黑板上的翻译例子相比较.
He compared his camera with mine.他把他的照相机跟我的比较.
The boy always compared his toys with other boys’toys.这男孩总把他的玩具和其它男孩的玩具相比较.
不过,需要注意的是,随着语言的发展变化,现在人们常把这两个短语互换使用.例如:
She compared her dress with (to) my dress.她把她的衣服和我的相比.
那么就不必纠结于to和with的差别,而且There is nothing是完整的句子,后面部分作状语.不必加to.
看分词形式.因为比较是被比较,不是主动形式,所以排除A,直接选D.
