1. The cameras of the Voyager II spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling Uranus, which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting the distant planet.

(A) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting

(B) doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit

同意。不过没找到by oneself英文的解释，否则就更清楚了。

作者: mjiehu 时间: 2004-6-15 05:46

第一题选B

先来解决alone和by one'sself的问题，C的问题出现在the number of trucks by themselves的中心词是number，单复数问题。错。

A中the numbers，错。

看整句意思：

1914：car + truck = 469,000

1929 ：truck = 469,000*2

如果选the number，句子意思变成：

1914：car + truck = 469,000

1929 ：truck = car*2

469,000无意义

作者: bon 时间: 2004-6-15 12:22

另外，我觉得alone和by oneself只有在修饰人的时候才可以互换。这里指的是客观数字，只能用alone.

看longman的解释:

1. if you are alone in a place, there is no one with you synonym by yourself

She lives alone .
You shouldn't leave a child alone in the house.
My wife and I like to spend time alone together away from the kids.

所有的例句都指人。

5. without including anything else

The case will cost thousands of pounds in legal fees alone.

这条例句指的是一个客观数据，没有synonym: by oneself.

In Switzerland, 50,000 signatures on a petition, a bit over 1% of the current total of qualified voters, are enough to haul any new countrywide law before a vote of the whole people. Twice that number of signatures will put a brand-new idea for a law to the people's decision, even if parliament wants nothing to do with it.

作者: wlt 时间: 2004-10-15 08:27

'of' here means 'to or away', in other word, 'from'.

so the original sentence attempts to express:

a: ...the numbers 'from' trucks

b: ...that number 'from' trucks

since 'that' refers to 469,000, also in B, using number rather than numbers. So B is better...

作者: johnjwu2004 时间: 2004-10-24 02:21

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of tucks alone came off the assembly lines.

有人知道the number是多少吗？数量是抽象概念能加复数吗？A 错

B.that number=469,000 相当与倍数比较的sth is XXtimes that of sth else

这里只是把that 用具体的对象代替掉了，因为如果单用that有歧义

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

B.that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like

B主谓不一致，原句正确

alone=by oneself 是 sb do sth alone= sb do sth by oneself

这里意思是只此一项的产量就已经达到原来两种产品产量的总和了。

作者: hylrd 时间: 2004-12-25 09:37
本题前面的帖子LES同志给了关于the number与that number不同点的精确解释，无以复加。我想补充的是：alone 的两个词性：1、标语形容词，表示单独、独占，2、副词，本题从位置上，很明显不是副词用法。修饰对象是清晰的，但若是和by oneself 互换，则造成歧义修饰came off 的可能

关键是：that number 根本不是469000啊！！所以，如果有that number，那一定是文章中出现过的number，这里文章根本没有出现，怎么会选B.

应该是C

作者: juningw 时间: 2005-4-8 11:03

我的一点看法：

先看一个句子：

in 1929 a number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines

如果分析这个句子，大家应该同意：trucks 是中心词，alone作为副词修饰trucks，是“只有”的意思，不可能和“by oneself”互换的。

再回到原句，如果选B，就是：

in 1929 almost twice that number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines

almost twice that number of 是修饰trucks的。同样，如果改成almost twice the number of 也是可以的。这样，只能选择B或C，但是C中的by themselves用得不对，应该是alone，alone作为副词修饰trucks，是“只有”的意思，不可能和“by oneself”互换的。

因此只能是B。

一家之言，nn指点。

作者: Dennies 时间: 2005-4-25 21:12
还是有一个疑惑，twice the number of 与twice that number of单独拿出来看有甚么区别啊？

作者: tigerlulu74 时间: 2005-6-18 01:38

本人的看法是选B，基于两个原因：

（1）by themselves在but 句中指trucks.那么从逻辑句意上来说就是指“那些trucks自己从生产线上生产出来了”。trucks怎么可能自己生产出来，只能是被生产出来。

而alone则是指那些trucks单独从生产线上生产出来，而不是同cars一起生产出来的。符合整句的逻辑句意，从but前后句意想说明trucks的产量很高。

故排除C.D.E

(2)从语法角度上，比较的用法有：twice（倍数） +n.，表示“是n.的两倍(几倍）”。

语法书上说twice the numbers是错误的用法，即在这样的比较结构中不能用复数numbers.

所以排除A。因为用了复数the numbers

再看B。虽然B中不是用the number,但从逻辑上看是很对的，因为that number正是特指了前面句中的a total of 469000,跟twice the number一样是特指那个数量，就是指“是那个数量两倍的trucks单独从生产綫上生产出来”。（指trucks今年的产量很高）。没有任何错误。

PS：如果A中的numbers改成number，则A也和B一样对的。

作者: remona9t 时间: 2005-6-23 14:55

对于twice that number 还是有点疑惑：

2
two times more, bigger, better etc than something else
twice the size/number/rate/amount etc --是一个固定搭配

an area twice the size of Britain

Arkansas, with twice the population and twice the number of cases, had five times as many deaths.

His studies show that stocks tend to climb more than twice the rate of the market after a positive earnings surprise.

In general, as already described, corrections will be twice the number of degrees that the aircraft is off the desired track.

In some areas, she says, food is being shared among twice the number of people it was intended for.

It follows that their demand for bank deposits is also growing at twice the rate of growth of nominal income.

Lemons contain twice the amount of vitamin C as oranges, as well as valuable B vitamins.

The lake will cover 1, 400 surface acres when full, roughly twice the size of San Pablo Reservoir near Orinda.

---longman

我觉得twice the number 在longman中被认为是一个固定搭配

如果这道题选B,我认为也不是通过twice的用法来排除，而是alone和by themselves的细微差别来排除的

作者: 华籍美人 时间: 2005-7-25 11:08
that number虽然不常用，但是有这个表达方式，本题主要是：alone不能用 by themselves的区别，而者意思不一样。

作者: liu977 时间: 2005-8-29 21:28
看了前面的帖子，偶已基本确认C是错误的，可对B的that指代还是存在疑虑，如果that指代a total of 469000，那逻辑意思就有问题了，不成了说是469000的2倍了？那又怎么能trucks alone呢？请指教

作者: wennier 时间: 2005-9-8 04:29

偶觉得14题B应该这样来理解，

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice

that number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines

1914年美国轿车和卡车的总产量为469,000 ，但到了1929年单下线的卡车的数量就几乎是这个数字的两倍。

大家一直争论的twice the number of 和此处twice that number of 并不是一个意思。

"twice the number "常见的用法是　A， twice the number of B... 即A 是B的两倍, 如果按照这个意思走的话，本题的后半句就应该是, but in 1929 trucks alone, almost twice the number of cars and trucks in 1914, came off the assembly lines.

而此处"twice that number of "trucks “相当于"a certain number of " trucks 的意思，只是certain number 刚好等于469,000的两倍。

不知道这样说，大家是否清楚一些了。

I think that "alone" modifies "trucks" in the original sentense...but alone seems to be more succinct than "by themselves"...it's not a question of the switched emphasis of the sentense...but a question of a more idiomatic and accurate expression--"alone" or "by themselves". Partially agree that "by themselves" has a different meaning from "alone".

I think the B is right. the key point lies in "That" to emphasize the number mentioned before in the sentense

作者: Dinaxie 时间: 2006-8-23 20:33

感觉选项A应该是 the number of trunks alone

作者: findjuhl 时间: 2006-9-13 16:57

我觉得这道题应该选D

首先，这道题的主句是说一定数量的汽车被生产出来在某一年，然后从句说在某一年两倍的某某就从生产线上实现了，这里的某某作为主语应该汽车而不是数字，came off the assembly lines，为此我查了这个词语在google上，发现基本都是汽车、产品等作为主语在这个词组前面，这里数字在生产线上生产出来显然不太合适。

其次，twice the number固然是一种习惯用语，但twice as many XX更是一个习惯用语，用于表示两倍多，在google里有大量例句，并没有跟随as XX，只用了twice as many，美国传统词典有一个单独的例句就是twice as many表示两倍。这里和OG那些twice as many as不同，并不是表示完整的比较，仅仅是一种两倍引用，因此可能省略了后面as XX。如此一来，D选项的but in 1929 almost twice as many trucks themselves came off the assembly lines也能解释的通了。

更为重要的是，在B和C选项中都有让人无法理解的问题，比如that number带来的改变原文的歧义，C选项不恰当的by themselves。所以我建议选D

欢迎继续讨论

习惯，谁的习惯？ETS还是？如果是口语化呢？谁能进一步阐述？暂时支持无疑是习惯加正规的B

请问为什么是B啊 that number指什么？

作者: aqualon 时间: 2006-10-31 16:20

support lou shang de.

Some scientists contend that many
species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal's than
a cold-blooded reptile's.

that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like
that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like
that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more
like those of
there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more
like those of
there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism
more like that of

D and E are not good because its 'scientists contend
there were..." It should be scientists contend THAT there
were.... so B is wrong because metabolism plural has an S. and C is OK but A is clearer.

A；B

以下是引用mjiehu在2004-6-15 5:46:00的发言：

第一题选B

先来解决alone和by one'sself的问题，C的问题出现在the number of trucks by themselves的中心词是number，单复数问题。错。

A中the numbers，错。

看整句意思：

1914：car + truck = 469,000

1929 ：truck = 469,000*2

如果选the number，句子意思变成：

1914：car + truck = 469,000

1929 ：truck = car*2

469,000无意义

1929 ：truck = car*2

469,000无意义

Marvellous, fully agree

晕

就记着是twice of that number of trucks alone came off the assembly line得了……

作者: yvonneyvonne 时间: 2008-3-12 11:35

1。tuck和truck的是不一样的，除了A，都改了原文意思。

2。the numbers中的numbers用复数是分别指，truck和car的tuck的number。这里alone也证明了这点。car和truck单独的tuck都翻倍了

作者: ximenxiao1 时间: 2008-3-12 22:02

twice the number of 我觉得是习惯用法吧

第二题显然were看着很不对啊

Q14:

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of tucks alone came off the assembly lines.

the numbers of tucks alone
that number of trucks alone
the number of trucks by themselves
as many trucks themselves
as many trucks by themselves

Answer:

Q28:

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like
that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like
that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of
there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of
there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

Answer:

那个对呢？？　太让人郁闷了　

我认为是A,B.

第一题numbers of 和the都是修饰trucks, numbers of 表许多的意思。twice是副词提前。主语是trucks,这也能解释是trucks came off the assembly lines. 而不是number came off the assembly lines. 还有themselves指代不清。

第二题的metabolism是集合名词，were在这里不存在主谓不一致的问题.

个人意见，大家讨论看看。

14题我改意见了，选B。 twice that number of 很常用。

作者: rorarora 时间: 2008-7-1 11:20

以下是引用findjuhl在2006-9-13 16:57:00的发言：

我觉得这道题应该选D

更为重要的是，在B和C选项中都有让人无法理解的问题，比如that number带来的改变原文的歧义，C选项不恰当的by themselves。所以我建议选D

欢迎继续讨论

Agree

14这题选B 完毕

这个that number是指代 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks

twice that number 就是后面那个数*2

that这里有指代，不能用the

以下是引用tigerlulu74在2005/6/18 1:38:00的发言：

本人的看法是选B，基于两个原因：

而alone则是指那些trucks单独从生产线上生产出来，而不是同cars一起生产出来的。符合整句的逻辑句意，从but前后句意想说明trucks的产量很高。

故排除C.D.E

(2)从语法角度上，比较的用法有：twice（倍数） +n.，表示“是n.的两倍(几倍）”。

语法书上说twice the numbers是错误的用法，即在这样的比较结构中不能用复数numbers.

所以排除A。因为用了复数the numbers

PS：如果A中的numbers改成number，则A也和B一样对的。

完全同意

以下是引用rorarora在2008/7/1 11:20:00的发言：

Agree

我也觉得twice as many+n.(pl.)这个短语本身是没有问题的

但在原句中有alone来修饰trucks

D中themselves如果要代替alone表达一样意思的话是<E重的by themselves

而且n.+pron.（即使是一个反身代词）的结构也要<n.+adj.定语的呀

by oneself 和alone的区别前辈们已经总结得很好了
