看prep笔记有两道题,搞不懂两道题分别选的doubling和twice,先贴上原题 The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.
A. doubling the increase of
B. doubling that of the increase in
C. double as much as the increase of
D. twice as many as the increase in
E. twice as many as the increase of
According to surveys by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 20 percent ofyoung adults used cocaine in 1979, doubling those reported in the 1977 survey. (A) doubling those reported in the 1977 survey (B) to double the number the 1977 survey reported (C) twice those the 1977 survey reported (D) twice as much as those reported in the 1977 survey (E) twice the number reported in the 1977 survey
我是想问,如果According这道题的A选项,改成doubling the number reported in the 1977 survey 可以选么。。
看prep笔记有两道题,搞不懂两道题分别选的doubling和twice,先贴上原题 The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.
A. doubling the increase of B. doubling that of the increase in C. double as much as the increase of D. twice as many as the increase in E. twice as many as the increase of
这道题,我第一眼看到就是不是同位语,是要修饰整句的,所以把DE排了, 在ABC比较中,C不对,不是doing的格式,这种形态就是svo, verb xxx的结构所以是run on 而B的错误点在于,这个that根据句子能够指代的noun只能是the number,可是结构就变成doubling the number of increase 了
D. twice as many as the increase in E. twice as many as the increase of
这两个结构本身就是错的,因为increase是不可数名词,所以应该用as much as,而不是as many as
此外这个句子未划线的前半句是:the number of xxx,所以后面就不应该用doubling/twice as many/much as xxx的结构。因为the number/the amount这种词和as many/much as是redundant的
所以根据这个知识点C也是有问题的
此外increase这个词作为noun, increase in noun表示noun数量的增加,是指noun这个sth本身的增加。我想做过gmat的应该都遇到过这种increase in sth的结构。可是这里如果用increase in the previous year,这个noun变成the previsou year就有问题了,去年本身没有increase,如果要表达去年这个时间状态应该用increase of the previous year。我记得有道比较级的题目就是这么表达的。如:in its return of 1910-1911
According to surveys by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 20 percent ofyoung adults used cocaine in 1979, doubling those reported in the 1977 survey. (A) doubling those reported in the 1977 survey (B) to double the number the 1977 survey reported (C) twice those the 1977 survey reported (D) twice as much as those reported in the 1977 survey (E) twice the number reported in the 1977 survey
这道题,根据同位语的使用原则,twice应该是指代前置名词,可是这里前置名词是1979,不对。所以我第一时间是把twice结构的CDE排了,B本身就不对,没有svo, to do sth的结构存在。就看A,发现有个those,可是前半句those的指代有问题,能够指代的复数,表示数量的,只能是:20 percent ofyoung adults 。但是20 percent ofyoung adults reported in the 1977 survey语义有问题。所以我发现这个those不能够存在
