11. According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities. (A) equivalent to the enrollment of (B) the equivalent of those enrolled in (C) equal to those who are enrolled in (D) as many as the enrollment of (E) as many as are enrolled in
我做这道题的思路:文章的意思是说eight million people 相当于大学招生的人数,equal to 表示相等,即前事物等于后事物,e.g. 9-8 equal to 1, 这里只能说八百万人和大学招收的人数一样多,不能用equal to, 中文的意思可能一样,但是用as many as 更恰当,更符合英语表达,所以只有d,e正确,在排除就很容易了。
