标题: （即将考试，求帮忙）PREP破解 185 (GWD-8-Q41)（看完讨论帖还是不甚明了）
185.(26406-!-item-!-188;#058&001926)(GWD-8-Q41)

When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many

A. there are less than one-quarter that many

B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many

C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount

E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount

我搜了下以前的讨论帖，可是怎么都是基于答案是C或者D或者A讨论的- -~~|||||

越看越晕。。

PREP说答案是B。。

不知道有没有人能分析一下。。B怎么是对的。。

(虽然知道了其他为什么错。。可是看Ｂ还是很奇怪）

确实有问题。。。。我也发现了

我认为应该同意PREP 给出的答案B , 理由如下：

1、few修饰可数名词 less修饰不可数的内容(这一点在OG12的基本语法知识讲解中明确说到了，并举了例子)

drive-in：A drive-in is a restaurant, cinema, or other commercial place which is specially designed so that customers can use the services provided while staying in their cars.

drive-in是可数名词，因为A、E用less来修饰drive-in，所以可以马上排除A和E;

2、amount是用来修饰不可数名词的(字典中的释义：The amount of something is how much there is, or how much you have, need, or get.)，many是修饰可数名词的，many本身可以做表数量的代词（字典中的内容：Also a pronoun. 例句：We stood up, thinking through the possibilities. There weren't many. ）

所以在这道题中完全不应该使用amount, 所以排除C和D被排除

综上所述，大家应该相信PREP中的答案，这道题我也做到了，PREP给出了答案B。这样说来这道题还是有道理的，其他四个选项都是有硬伤的。

I found the explanation of "as many" in Longman Dictionary:
as many=a number that is equal to another number
examples:
- They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.
- A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days.

我們剛在群裡討論完這道題一位好心的同學在一個外國論壇找到的

选B

简单判断如下：
A. less than 修饰不可数，不管是修饰 drive-ins 还是后面的 many 都错
C. D. E. amount 修饰不可数，这里是 drive-ins 都错

我刚刚也看到过这个题，但是讨论的都是A，看起来说的很有道理，也没有多想，不过想知道你那个说PREP答案是B，不知道是你在做PREP做到的，还是破解版中的？

另外，这个题有人在做PREP的时候遇到过么，是否可以提供一下PREP里面的解释是怎样的？我记得PREP里面有个解释的

up~ 我为啥在破解版找不到？答案是神马？

作者: eshopaholic 时间: 2010-11-18 09:01
很受启发

B应该对的

关键是可不可数的问题 less跟amount都是修饰不可数 ins 可数只能用fewer 和many 修饰。

amount修饰的是不可数名词啊，果断排掉CDE。
剩下的就不用说了吧？

作者: cynthia628 时间: 2011-8-2 22:26
看了这么多帖子觉得这道题可以学到好多知识点，归纳一下哈：
1，less修饰不可数名词，但是less of+可数名词单数/可数名词复数/不可数名词。
2，amount修饰不可数名词。
3, that many是unidiomatic expression.而as many是正确用法，并且twice as many/one quarter as many在英语中非常常见。（manhattangmat原话："twice as many", "one-quarter as many", etc. are not only acceptable as idiomatic expressions but also extremely common in the english language.）
4，as...many表示，和...数量一样多，往往在句子中已经提到过那个数量。
5，什么时候用as...many，什么时候用as...many...as？
If you have already mentioned that data elsewhere in the sentence,use as...many structure.
If you haven't mentioned,please use the complete structure-as...many as.
examples:
There were once 20 shirts on this shelf, but, now, barely half as many are left.
There are barely half as many shirts on this shelf as there were last week.

我之前一直觉得是C，查了OG后才明白，另外感谢LS几位大牛

great!

我觉得c对，这里的amount是名词性（金额、合计、数量），不是形容词，若形容词肯定修饰不可数。that amount就是4000. one-quarter of that amount = 1000 , 所以，这里amount没有错。还原c: there are fewer drive-ins than 1000.

作者: lovelyhawk 时间: 2013-9-3 19:46
b也对，但C更好，b还原 there are fewer driven-ins than 1/4 as many (4000) driven-ins exised in usa. 后面都省了。

为什么C更好呢？
