10. A long-term study of some 1,000 physicians indicates that the more coffee these doctors drank, the more they had a likelihood of coronary disease.
(A) more they had a likelihood of coronary disease
(B) more was their likelihood of having coronary disease
(C) more they would have a likelihood to have coronary disease
(D) greater was their likelihood of having coronary disease
(E) greater was coronary disease likely

这道题的正确答案选D。但是对这道题还有一些疑问：
1. A选项OG给出的选项解释说， “more they had a likelihood of coronary disease” illogically indicates that the research subjects had likelihood to a greater degree rather than that their likelihood was greater. 想问为啥会理解成to a greater degree? 如果这样理解对应的句子正常语序应该是怎么样的呢？
2. C选项说would have 与前半句的一般现在时drank时态不平行，所以错误。想问the more, the more 句型中时态一定前后要一样的么？感觉drank, would have逻辑上也合理呀。

求大神指点，也欢迎大家讨论切磋。

自己顶一下

提供淺見于您參考：
本題比較醫生喝越多的「咖啡」及越大的「可能性」得到心血管疾病
因為more是形容「實際數量」的增加，而greater是形容「抽象可能性」的提升，所以A可能會有「更多數量的醫生」得病與題意不同
另本題前半句是coffee＋modifier 所以C的S＋V 不太好
希望有幫上忙

1. A选项OG给出的选项解释说， “more they had a likelihood of coronary disease” illogically indicates that the research subjects had likelihood to a greater degree rather than that their likelihood was greater. 想问为啥会理解成to a greater degree? 如果这样理解对应的句子正常语序应该是怎么样的呢？

the more, the more, 主语指的是research subjects, 所以 the more they drank, the more they had 成了"他们喝的越多，他们越有可能怎么样"， the more they drank, the greater was their likelihood of...则是“他们喝的越多，他们什么的可能性越大”

C选项说would have 与前半句的一般现在时drank时态不平行，所以错误。想问the more, the more 句型中时态一定前后要一样的么？感觉drank, would have逻辑上也合理呀。

这句话说的是这是一份调查了1000名物理学者的研究。他们的drank和他们得disease的概率已经是确定了的。（drank, the was likelihood.）所以前后都用过去式。逻辑上可以这么想，这份研究已经做出来了，喝的越多和他们得disease的概率的联系。喝和得这两个动作都发生过了，所以才有这份研究。the more the more 句型时态不一定一致，读懂句子才是王道。

这个选项的歧义在于变成了 "more they had a likelihood“，强调的是会有likelihood的可能性的大小。而题目的意思是得病的可能性很大。其实考的就是副词的位置问题

谢谢解答！感觉从英语修饰角度能理解，more修饰likelihood,greater修饰likelihood of having coronary disease.但是翻译成中文的话，感觉两者意思差不多，很难区分？

一个是强调likelihood的，一个是强调得病。第一从语义上来说肯定是强调得病这个事情的可能性。第二从习惯上来说不会好好的去强调likelihood的可能性。所以从习惯和语义上来说都是错的

The phrase the more they had a likelihood somewhat illogically
indicates that the research subjects had likelihood to a greater degree rather
than that their likelihood was greater.
"the more they had a likelihood"强调的是更多的可能性，而“the greater was their likelihood..."强调的是可能性更大。
