标题: double和as much as的用法 [打印本页] 作者: yfxxlyy 时间: 2018-6-9 15:44 标题: double和as much as的用法 求大神指点，这是曼哈顿模考里的一道题
According to the National Science Foundation, in 2003 there were 198,113 female science and engineering graduate students, almost 42% of the graduate students in those fields, twice as much as 1981.
A. twice as much as 1981
B. twice as many as 1981
C. double the figure for 1981
D. double what it was in 1981
E. a number double that of 1981’s
答案：C
疑问：
1. 划线句子的主语到底是什么，是42% of the graduate students还是42%这个数字？如果主语是the figure这样的话D中的it指the figure，D选项正确？
2. double the figure...中的double是用作动词吗，如果是动词的话不应该是doubling....或者which doubled the....
3. the figure for 1981这样的用法也对吗
4. 如果B改成twice as many as that(the figure) ub 1981是不是就对了
