说不清，帮顶。

作者: celiachen 时间: 2009-2-14 20:18

At是介词，后面要求跟名词

所以选A不选C

支持楼上，
at as 连用有问题

作者: alohabrian 时间: 2009-2-14 22:21
请问as low temperates as中第一个as是adv吗？

作者: songlovegt 时间: 2009-2-14 22:56
应该是adv.
as as 结构中，我觉得标准用法中间只能加 adj. 和 adv. 中间如果有名词还是 such as更为标准吧，所以如果改为at such low temperatures as 应该是可以的。
但是经常可以看到 as low temperatures as 这种用法，但就这个题来看，GMAT 可能是不认可这种用法的
另查了Longman
as as 例子里面没有插入名词的例子。

as...as 中间有加N的例子啊，如下：补充题78

78. Although many Whites, noting the presence of some Blacks in the middle class, think that the time for enforcing civil rights measures is past, Blacks generally are aware that average-income and unemployment figures show as wide a radical discrepancy as ever.

as adj. a N. as...(注意：这个名词应带有不定冠词)

但是都没有看到过N是复数的情况。

as...as结构有强调形容词和副词的作用吧，所以总是只夹形容词或副词，或者也是先出形容词再补名词的。

但是还是没有明确的解释。期盼NN来解答。

我*覺得*C只是sounds bad(因為at as), grammatically 沒有錯.
let's check out an example:
P1-9: The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one chance in a million of causing cancer.

P1-9可以寫成:
The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present risk as little as one chance in a million of causing cancer.

我后来做题也遇到了一个 as + adj. + n. + as 结构正确的情况，具体在哪儿想不起来了。as...as... 中间是可以有名词的，我6楼的帖子错了，大家别被误导了。

Ｐｒｅｐ－２－９
Ｃ，Ｄ，Ｅ的错误都很明显。看　Ｒｏｎｐｕｒｅｗａｌ　对于　Ａ和Ｂ的解释。

it appears that you're missing an answer choice.  moreover, as all of these choices have noticeable faults, it appears that you may well be missing the
    correct answer choice.


"chance ... of VERBing" is the correct idiom for discussing probability.  ("chance to VERB" is a correct idiom too, but not in this case; that idiom is used when discussing opportunities, as
    in "i had the chance to do it").  that leaves (b), but (b), as written, is clearly wrong because of the repetition of "chance"/"chances".

版主这个好

Ron的意思是, 如果
- chance表機率, 用chance of doing something不用chance to do something
- chance表機會, 用chance to do something不用chance of doing something

Ron是GMAT滿分的ManhattanGMAT的老師...

有一个问题：此题是说C因为AT后面没有宾语所以错

但是prep08的语法笔记里接着举例了
prep 2-9 The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one in a million chances to cause cancer.
(A) as little risk as one in a million chances to cause
(B) as little risk as one chance in a million of causing
(C) as little risk as one chance in a million that it will cause
(D) a risk as little as one chance in a million for causing
(E) a risk as little as one chance in a million for it to cause
Key: B

这题ABC不是也使得present后面没有宾语么？为什么又对呢？？
