22.        A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two    pupils,four times as many than there were four years ago.

(A) there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(B) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(C) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were

(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were              

(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as

C

是不是如果A选项里用的是there be,那么就代表客观存在,其他只有也是there be结构的选项才可以正确

认为C选项中的WERE应该是WAS才对,E错在哪,HAS也不错呀?

four times of what? four times of 32 pupils as many as there were?

歧义。

是不是 as many as后面的省略主谓和前面不一致?

比较结构如果前后的主谓是一样的,那就可以省略后面一样的部分

这个题目E难道不是这样吗

there were补出 使得对比部分清晰

there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils,four times as many as there were (computers)  four years ago.
