题
目:   The backlash against affirmative action---with minority admissions
falling, educators consider new options. (from the January 1998 ACP
Observer, copyright@1998 by the American College of Physicians)
我只把相关的那段贴上来：
As a result, many medical educators are now worried about the future of
diversity in the American workforce. Medicine has only become as
diverse as it is now because of the special admissions programs that
have been in place since the '60s, they say. Moreover, advocates of
special admissions programs are quick to point out that
underrepresented minorities tend to practice in areas underserved by
the medical profession. According to the Association of American
Medical Colleges (AAMC), minority medical graduates are nearly
    four
    times as likely as other students to plan to practice in underserved areas; once in practice, they tend to see significantly more—and poorer—patients than other physicians.

考点---比较的用法---
A be more likely than/as likely as B to do
sth;
A) are likely in
planning错, 习惯用法是be likely to do;
A中的第二个are多余. 从语感的角度, A is xxx time
more/less likely than B to do something比较顺畅; 从有效性来看, than后省略are不会引起任何误解, 不会丢失任何信息; 从简洁性来看, 应该省略are.
B) are likely错
C) best. A is xxx times as adj. as B的说法是地道规范的; plan on doing sth.”和“plan to do sth.”的都是正确、规范、地道的英文用法;
D) more少than; 后面只有rather
than. "it"
cannot be used to refer an entire clause;
E) as…than搭配错; 前后比较对象也不明确.

这是我最后自己整理给自己看的简洁版，gemj给出的一些理论依据我没有保留。ps:在版上搜下就可以找到原版。
