二、比较构造考抱病句：1. Comparing with the bike， the car runs much faster. 2. The climate in Walton is colder than other cities.准确表达：1. Compared with the bike， the car runs much faster. 2. The climate in Walton is colder than that of other cities.评议与申明：良多考生在作文顶用compare或than默示比较，但相称多的表达有误。
在例1中，对两个事物举行比较的句式为Compared with A， B……，只能用compare的过往分词，不能用现在分词，因为B是分词的逻辑主语，只能被比较。在例2中，考生误将"气候"与"都会"举行比较，而二者没有可比性，只要将后者改为"其他都会的气候"才符合逻辑，很显然，考生的错误是受了汉语表达习尚的影响。
