In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of trucks alone came off the assembly lines.

A.the numbers of trucks alone

B.that number of trucks alone

C.the number of trucks by themselves

D.as many trucks themselves(B)

E.as many trucks by themselves



题目释义:In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were……but in 1929 almost twice that number of trucks……

1914carstrucks共制造了469000辆,而在1929年仅trucks单独就有原来总数两倍那么多从组装线上下线。

考点:
1twice只能作副词, 在句子中表达的意思却是比较, 这样的题目, 首先要弄清楚比较的双方是否合理, 如果合理的话, 再看twice作为副词的位置: 可以用在as..as或比较级之前, 也可以放在比较点的名词之前, 担要保证twice前后的词要能直接搭配(副词的作用).eg: He is twice the man he was. = He has twice the strength he had =He is twice as strong as he was.

2Number的用法:a number of(大量的),the number of……的数量),numbers of (许多)。详见新prep1-209(笔记P43

选项分析:
A.the numbers错误,twice后面要跟单数的number,即twice the number;但是改为the number后,指代特定的数字还是用that number更为明确

B.Correctthat number指代前面总和的469000,如果是the number,没有指代对象,似乎说是the number of trucks

C.the number指代不清;by themselves是指卡车出售时没有附带配件,即单车出售,与alone意思并不相同。

D.as many trucks时,整个句子的意思是“1914年汽车和卡车一共生产了469,000辆,而1929年两倍的卡车下了生产线”,句子前后并没有直接逻辑联系,前面句子并没有讲卡车有多少辆;trucks themselves这样的结构(X itself)中,themselves反身代词是对trucks的同位语,表示强调是trucks而已,我们往往可以看作没有反身代词,就如同同位语往往与句子主成份无关一样。

E.as many trucks错误同Dby themselves错误同C





这道题选B没有问题,但是关于解释里说as many 的解释:

D.as many trucks时,整个句子的意思是“1914年汽车和卡车一共生产了469,000辆,而1929年两倍的卡车下了生产线”,句子前后并没有直接逻辑联系,前面句子并没有讲卡车有多少辆

对于这个解释首先是表示看不懂到底在讲什么意思,主要是,as many 真的用错了吗?

因为之间也有一道类似的题目

185.(GWD-8-Q41)
When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.

A.there are less than one-quarter that many

B.there are fewer than one-quarter as many

C.there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

D.the number is less than one-quarter the amount(B)

E.it is less than one-quarter of that amount



题目释义:when drive-ins were…, 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are fewer than one-quarter as many.

考点:
比较结构,逻辑表达,句子结构

1.4000这个单独的数字不可能existed in the United States,且数字可以做代词,故4000指代了4000 drive-ins,后面要用复数形式的谓语动词。

2.amount的用法:GMAT里面AMOUNT的用法解释是:amount is for undifferentiated masses such as sand or water,即amount用于修饰不可分割的物体,即修饰不可数名词,因为4000 drive-ins4000个不同的个体所以that amount不可以修饰4000。另外amountless搭配

3.比较。词组:less/fewer than X percent of Ylessfewer的选用取决于Y是否可数,本题的比较对象是drive-ins。既然全句比较的是可数名词,相应地,需要用arefewermany/number等与可数名词复数形式相一致的表述。


4.
as many的用法(摘自Longman):

as many=a number that is equal to another number à表示同样的数字

They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.

in as many days/weeks/games etc.

A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days (=in five days).


*: "twice as many", "one-quarter as many", etc.都是非常常见的用法,记住这样的表达。



根据这道题对于as many 的解释

我认为222题的as many 并没有错

所以想请教一下各位,到底as many 在222错了没呐?

愚见认为,不是as many的问题,是句意,也就是逻辑的问题。
第一题中,46,900是指卡车和汽车的数量,即汽车和卡车一共46,900辆。后面说,两倍数量的卡车走下组装线。我认为,句子想强调的意思是,单单卡车的组装数量(1929年),就抵得上1914年汽车和卡车数量的两倍。如果再加上汽车的数量,就远远多于两倍。是强调生产能力的提高。
关于D选项的解释,还是强调了逻辑的部分,因为不清楚原先卡车的数量,只清楚卡车和汽车一共的数量,所以as many不可用。
说的比较啰嗦,希望能看懂。

因为上文只出现了,汽车和卡车数量的总和46,900,而没有出现单独卡车多少辆,所以as many实际上是缺乏比较对象的。
这样说,好像严谨一些了。

我觉得as many 就是指46,900 这个数字吧,就从185题的解释里提供的例句

They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.

A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days (=in five days).

这两句话的 as many 就是单纯指代 句子前面出现的数字,

所以222题里的as many 并不是要指代卡车的数量,也不需要有卡车的数量才能用吧? as many 就是=46,900

我是这么理解的

顶!!!楼主和我的问题一样一样的~~~~~求答疑~~~~

发表于 2012-8-10 17:26:02 | 只看该作者
我也觉得 as many 是指前面的数字,求答疑?
不过,可能这里 as many trunks themselves 是一个意群,是针对单单trunks 的数字double了,不知道这样理解对吗?

up!!!
同样疑问:as many指前面的总数46900,我觉得是对的
         themselves也强调“1929的卡车单独”啊
但是prep笔记上说D选项有逻辑问题,我不明白到底逻辑哪里错了啊

而且我有一个疑问,B 里面 the number 作主语,然后came off the assembly line,逻辑上不通吧。我觉得应该trucks才对呀

同问,that number做主语跟谓语不搭啊!

B选项,that number指代前面总和的469000,如果是the number,没有指代对象,有the number of trucks的含义。
D. twice结构不完整,少一个as,by themselves使用错误,句意为强调“单单是卡车就有那么多了”, 而不是强调“卡车它们自己怎么怎么样”,所以不用by themselves。
