GWD-8-Q41:

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

            (C)

前两题是大全里的，第三题是GWD的，我觉得很奇怪，如果第一题的答案B正确，则第二题应该选C，可答案却是E；如果第二题答案E正确的话，第三题应该选D，可大家讨论的结果却是C。

以前觉得大全的答案是可信的，可最近认真做了一下，发现大全的答案似乎也有一些不可信。例如section12-19与11OG就不同。

汗.......语法呀语法，真是我心头的痛呀！！！这两天真被折磨得不行了！！！NN救命呀！！！

我觉得第三个应该是D

主要是句子的结构，你再仔细看看

11.   Sales of LACE>United StatesLACE> manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from LACE>EuropeLACE> and LACE>JapanLACE>.>>

(A) which is 14 percent more than the previous year>>

(B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year

(C) 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

(D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was（E）

(E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

用前辈的一句话：

以上答案全是对的。

前两题我明白了，谢谢淡蓝色的回忆。

可第三题为什么不选D呢？

an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure

the number is less than one-quarter the amount

以上两种比较方式不是很相似吗？

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

以下是引用running在2005-12-8 13:08:00的发言：

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

     According to surveys by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 20 percent of young adults used cocaine in 1979, doubling those reported in the 1977 survey.

(A) doubling those reported in the 1977 survey

(B) to double the number the 1977 survey reported

(C) twice those the 1977 survey reported

(D) twice as much as those reported in the 1977 survey（E）

(E) twice the number reported in the 1977 survey

既然twice the number 可以，那么one-quater the amount应该也可以呀？以上这题也是大全上的。

the number is less than one-quarter of the amount.这里的one-quarter是名词。

twice the number reported in the 1977 survey.这里的twice作副词.
