Question

If we fail to sell enough goods, _________ last year, we will have to ________ production.

A．comparing with; cut down	B．compared with; cut back on
C．comparing to; cut out	D．compared to; cut off

Answer 1

B

第一空考查过去分词做状语的用法，compared with/to“和…相比”，第二空考查词组cut back on“减少”，cut down“减少”cut out“剪下”，cut off“切断”，句意是：如果和去年相比我们卖不了足够的商品，我们就要减少产量了。选B。
