A. Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitatsw, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as B. Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitatsw, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, researchers have determined, making them many times more rare than C. There are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined, which makes the leopards many times more rare compared to D. Researchers have determined that, because of being poached and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, thus making them many more times as rare as E. Researchers have determined that, because of poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times more rare than ANS:E 我现在对E项中many times more rare than感到困惑了.many times as rare as对吗? 91. The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970’s A. extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
B. extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
C. extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were D. extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had E. extinction, now with numbers five times greater than A: correct,
注意：
1、倍数一般用greater than而不是more than，因为会有歧义，虽然SC大全和GWD也有X times more than正确的时候，有Greater还是应该选Greater than
个人认为注释说不是很对,用greater的原因是因为比较对象为 number, number只能是大,或者小.
如果要表示是五倍大,也就是大四倍,是否为five times as great as? five times as great as错了吗? 如果要是比什么大五倍,是否为five times greater than?或者是five times more than?
另外,12 years more than 只正确表达方式,12 years as many as是错误的表达方式,对吗? |
