题目解答
答案
本题考察“compare”的固定搭配。“be compared to”意为“被比作”,符合句意“老师被比作蜡烛”。“be compared with”意为“与……比较”,不符题意。C项“for”和D项“up”均无此用法。综合分析,只有A项“to”正确。
答案:A. to
解析
本题考查固定短语“compare”的搭配用法。核心在于区分“be compared to”(被比作)和“be compared with”(与……比较)。解题关键点在于理解句中“Teachers are usually compared ___ candles”表达的是“老师被比作蜡烛”的比喻关系,而非比较关系。
选项分析
A. to
“be compared to” 是固定搭配,意为“被比作”,符合句中将老师比喻为蜡烛的语境。
B. with
“be compared with” 表示“与……比较”,例如“将老师与蜡烛进行对比”,但句中显然不是这个意思。
C. for
“compare for”无固定搭配,不符合语法。
D. up
“compare up”也无此用法,属于干扰项。
综上,只有 A. to 能正确表达比喻关系。
