87. (29293-!-item-!-188;#058&003892) Results of a United States study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine have shown college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living in the Northeast and Midwest. (A) college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living (B) college-educated women and women living in the South and West as significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they are living (C) college-educated women and those living in the South and West being significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they lived (D) that college-educated women and women who live in the South and West are significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as were women that lived (E) that college-educated women and women living in the South and West are significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than women living
正确答案是E，但是我觉得该选项也可以理解成：women and women living in the South and West are significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than to usewomen living
恩,我有很深体会;对于这种 A be more likely to do something than B (to do something), 这里就是搞清楚比较对象. 本题是比人, 确切说是比主语,分开来写就是: A and B are more likely to do something than C (are likely to do something). 省略都是括号内的.
LZ是认为比后面的动作, 如果比动作, 那么人不能变, 句子应该是, A and B are more likely to do C than (A and B are likely) to do D.
恩，我知道逻辑上是比人，但这种理解是common sense 的理解， 这句话完全可以理解成比动作，之前在manhattang那个交流网上看到一个800分的牛人说: 'you are not allowed to use 'common sense' to resolve the meaning of a sentence. if there are two grammatically acceptable interpretations, then it's a bad sentence. whether one interpretation is more realistic matters not.' 所以有些疑惑
