89. 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
其他的部分都没有问题，只是正确答案C中的as many as there were
让人费解，为什么不是there was,而一定要用there were呢？there were 后面也没有任何提示表明需要用复数或虚拟语气Y。
请高人指点！

从这道题的5个选项中，首先可以排除掉D,E; 根据并列的对称性，there is.... there are 同属 there be 结构，是对称的。又根据固定搭配as many as, ....than....是不可以混用的，因此A, B错. 只剩下选项C了，再来看这个选项，会注意到知识点 there be 的单复数问题。抽出句子主干　there is....one microcomputer...., four times as many as there were four years ago.　会发现 there is 对应　one microcomputer　是正确的．比较的对应项是４年以前的事，因此用过去时态．但是此选项there be 后面的部分省略了(for example: as many as there were four microcomputers for 130 students)，所以无从判断，可是以上信息足以判断出 C is ETS preferred relative correct answer.

不是虚拟，是过去时，因为后面有four years ago。

以下是引用gemj在2003-11-22 19:19:00的发言：

既然是过去时，那为什么不用there was呢？

对呀，为什么不用there was呢？why? why? 小兔儿睡不着~~~

这题还真硬掰 orgiginal: there were (every 128 pupils for one computer) four years ago (括弧內is old information should be omitted) --> there were four years ago.

bunnier · 发表于 2004-2-21 12:05:00

谢谢lotery兄！After reading the following posting: dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=26698&page=1, bunnier thinks the un-omitted sentence should be:

89C: A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many [microcomputers] as there were.

What do you all think?

tulipmontreal · 发表于 2004-6-7 12:28:00

偶同意BUNNIER的观点因为这样的省略符合语法的这里的省略是微机和前面的正好对应所以用there were.

LES · 发表于 2004-7-14 12:52:00

这题又想不同了，为什么OG解释E选项时说Choices D and E reorder and garble the “one X...” construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils. 为什么不是就近修饰microcomputer呢？谢谢大家！

89. 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（C）

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

Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction “one X for every thirty-two Y’s” to describe the ratio of computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and garble the “one X...” construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.

there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils,和there were (every 128 pupils for one computer) four years ago (括弧內is old information should be omitted) --> there were four years ago.

前面时one microcomputer for puils 后面对pupils for one computer 不对称的呀?
