212. (32918-!-item-!-188;#058&006969) (GWD-10-Q1) Accordingto a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association ofAmerican Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times morelikely than are other graduates in planning to practice insocioeconomically deprived areas. A.minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduatesin planning to practice B.minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates whoplan on practicing C.minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to planon practicing D.it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than othergraduates will plan to practice E.it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduatesto plan to practice
这题从语法角度分析,很好排除别的选项错误。
BUT,从句意的角度,我就犹豫了:
在A选项的原句里,more likely than不是明确表明一方比另一方更有可能plan to practice吗
但是正确答案的C,变成了比较双方as likely as,那不就是说两者几乎旗鼓相当了吗?——这样难道不算改变了句意?
在我看来,句意就表态了两者一大一小,但是正确选项却说两者可能性一样。
所以我的疑问是:这题莫非证明了解题时,语法优先于句意?还是我对句意理解有偏差?
求牛牛们赐教!
