标题: [讨论]大全-42

42      According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.


    

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice


    

(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing


    

(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing


    

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice(C)


    

(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice


C 一定不对, four times 就不能用 as likely as. 比如那道题,2000 years 后不能用as old as,要用older than.

A 中比较从句补出谓语,比较从句可以用倒装结构或陈述结构,所以are的位置没有错误。

A选项可以简化为 - M are four times more likely than are O in doing sth.

虽然常用句式为:sb. be more likely than sb. to do sth.

...times(或数字) + as + 形容词或副词 + as...

表示数量增加到两倍,倾向使用twice as many/much as; sth. double sth.; twice the + n; twice + what从句,这样的表示方法,而不使用two times more..

多谢!所以此类题的重点是后面的to do而不是在于用more than or as ... as..
