问题 During an ice age, the building of ice at the poles and the drop in water levels near the equator speed up the Earth’s rotation, like a spinning figure skater whose speed increases when her arms are drawn in.

选项 A、like a spinning figure skater whose speed increases when her arms are drawn in
B、like the increased speed of a figure skater when her arms are drawn in
C、like a figure skater who increases speed while spinning with her arms drawn in
D、just as a spinning figure skater who increases speed by drawing her arms
E、just as a spinning figure skater increases speed by drawing in her arms

答案E

解析 A、B、C错在like是一介词,之后必须跟名词短语,把A、B、C代入原句,都会产生同样的逻辑错误,简化后成为“某一动作像一个人(或像速度)”,因逗号之前是句子,是一动作,而like之后是一名词,两者之间不具可比性,相似性就更不可能存在;而D中,justas中的as是连词,之后需跟句子,跟名词短语不妥;E为正确答案,大意是: “水的累积和水位下降加速了地球的自转就像是一个正在做旋转动作的滑冰者通过收拢她的手臂而使其旋转加速一样。”
