大全最新ZT-4 （我感到很迷惑的答案）

4.                 According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

答案是A。我做这道题目的时候就在AC之间徘徊了很久。

觉得A不好在于 in planning to practice.     因为跟likely 有点连不上。这个句子改一下就是：

minority graduates are nearly four times more likely in planning to practice than are other graduates

be likely in doing sth? likely 后面好像应该用to do 结构。但是A补出了动词。

C的感觉跟likely 能连上，而且plan on doing sth 也是idiomatic. 但是C又没有补出谓语动词。虽然不补出动词不好，但是因为这里感觉不会造成宾语比较的歧义，犹豫了很久还是选了C。

哪位大侠有什么高见，指点一下？
