供参考:


89. A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.


(A)  there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were


(B)  there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were


(C)  there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were


(D)  every thirty-two pupils now have one micro­computer, four times as many than there were


(E)   every thirty-two pupils now has one microcom­puter, four times as many as


Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction "one X for every thirty-two Y's" to describe the ratio of computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and garble the "one X ..." construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.



另例: Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.

谢谢tigar回复


但是看了OG还是一头雾水的说。。。。。。

个人感觉这道题的d、e选项都有明显的错误,在不考虑have和has的情况下也可以排除。看了OG的解释,感觉every thirty-two pupils的说法的核心词是pupils而不是every,并且与所谓的one X for every thirty-two Y's表达有本质的区别。


个人理解呀,还希望权威人士现身指点迷津。
