125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural
technology, the same amount of acreage produces
double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
答案是B没有问题,我的问题是E :A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.我的理解是it指the amount of acreage, did是produced 那么就是the amount of acreage produced the apples,哪里来的doubling the apples themselves???? 望牛牛们赐教,感激不尽!!
