181. 重点题

The number of peopleflying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling theincrease of the previous year.

A. doublingthe increase of

B. doublingthat of the increase in

C. doubleas much as the increase of

D. twiceas many as the increase in (A)

E. twiceas many as the increase of

ChaseDream的PREP08版语法笔记这道题后面有一个知识点补充：(1) If thenoun in question is already an explicitly numerical quantity, then you should use neither "much" nor "many". instead, youshould just use "twice" or "double" by itself.

e.g., twice the increase --> "increase" is an explicitlynumerical quantity

谁能给我解释一下explicitly numerical quantity具体是指什么类的量？我看了知识点
补充更加不明白，为什么increase 是explicit 而且又numerical?

就是带点数的意思的词。比如amount， number,产量这种。可以直接说double/twice the amount of XXX。
但是说double the people/apple这种词就不对，因为人和苹果这种名词都不带着‘数’这种性质的。
