17. In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly twice as fast as the 1970’s. (A) twice as fast as (B) twice as fast as it was in (C) twice what it was in (D) two times faster than that of (E) two times greater than
此题答案为C 那为什么B 不行呢? 与OG 一题有点冲突.如下 A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers ,almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy twice as much as 1997. (A) twice as much as 1997 (B) twice as many as 1997 (C) doublewaht it was in 1997 (D)doublethe figure for 1997 ( E)a number double that of 1997's 此题答案为D 解释上说其实as many as in 1997也行的,但选项中没有,所以就选了D 因为double the figure places the emphasis of the sentences on the number of minister. 而且解释上说C不行是因为what it was is awkward,wordy,and unclear. 这样我就有点糊涂了为什么有时候用可以,有时候又不行了呢.1题与2题在我看来是一样的啊.希望大家指点迷津
