这是一篇阅读片断
The earth is made up of three major layers-a central core, probably metallic,some 4000miles across,a surrounding layer of compressed rock,and to top it all a very thin skin of softer rock,only about 20to 40miles thick-that's about as thin as the skin of an apple,talking in relative terms.
然后选择:
The outer layer of the Earth is compared to the skin of an apple because:( )
A.it is only 20 to 40miles thick
B.it is thin in proportion to the Earth's mass
C.it is relatively thin compared with the central core
D.it is softer than the other layers
我是对B项有疑问,你们看喔,在第一行和第三行都有一个破折号.可不可以把中间的成分拿掉,那就变成了three layers is about as thin as the skin of an apple,这样的话相比较的对象就是地球的三个外层和地球本身了? 但像zhonggouren_12所说的那样,厚度和质量又没有可比性...

C.

是C。其实我觉得可以入选考虑的答案有C和D两个。A不对,因为文章指的是地球与苹果相比的话,最外面的一层像苹果皮。而不是因为只有20到40麦厚,才像苹果。那笔苹果皮厚多了!!
B不对。
C和D都在文章中有提到。但是文章最后写道“as thin as the skin of an apple,talking in relative terms”。这里很明显的将到“talking in the relative terms”,相比较而言。所以应该是C。

C

A. 20到40英哩厚, 不是比较而言
B. 厚和薄与重量无关
D. 比地球其它层软,与苹果皮无关

A

选C
