[求助]请教大全38及42

38.According to a recent study, the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children as to receive it from them.
(C) the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children than
(D) it is four times more likely for the elderly in the United States to give regular financial aid to their children than they are
(E) it is four times as likely that the elderly in the United States will give their children regular financial aid as they are
    答案是C
    D,E选项中都有错误,如果把D中的they are去掉,对吗???

    相似的例子还有:

42.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.
(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
(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice
    答案是C

    同样的,刨除D,E中的错误,其表达是不是不可取???
(感觉ETS似乎认为类似it is nearly four times 。。。。的表达在比较中都是不可取。)

    请教

这里是不是it指代错误的问题呢?

我也在怀疑是不是it错,

     从上面的两个例子来看,D,E选项中it is nearly four times 这样的表达应该是一种系统的

问题,而不光是D,E中有其他的错误。

又仔细的想了一下,it这里肯定是形式主语,比如38题的D选项,把it转换出来,应该是这样:

give regular financial aid to their children than to receive it from them is four times more

likely for the elderly in the United States 。这样的话,就必然错了,是不是可以这么理解?

"感觉ETS似乎认为类似it is nearly four times 。。。。的表达在比较中都是不可取"


到底是不是这样没有留心过呢,以后要注意的总结一下呢。
不过38中的it的表达应该是明显的不对,因为在后半部分
还有it的出现receive it from them.所以应该是不对的

42中d/e的选项都有明显的错误

另插一句

four time more likely   than   的意思 好像等同于 four time as likely as

都是表示 4 倍

请那位NN 确认一下 是否如此

在网上找到了依据

Shares readers are 118% (or 2.2 times) more likely than average to be in the ...

说明 four time more likely than 只表示 4 倍,而非 5 倍
