125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910. (A) double the apples that it has (B) twice as many apples as it did (C) as much as twice the apples it has (D) two times as many apples as there were (E) a doubling of the apples that it did
本题答案是B. 想问问哪位大N知道为何OG对E的解释是: A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.
为什么这里说是“suggests doubling the apples themselves”,应该怎样理解才对呢?请赐教~!
多谢lxd的回答! 只是解释中下面有一句"when joined with that it did"让我理解好像是“a doubling of the apples ”和“that it did"共同作用后,才有”suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples“这个结果...还是不太明白,希望能够详细说明一下,感谢呀!
lxd19870226 大侠解释得很好了 G友sullivan215 没看懂,OG12的解释 “A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.”
这个句子解释,我这么看
when joined with that it did, A doubling of the apples is awkward and suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples. 当和it联在一起,doubling of the apples 就显得别扭了并且(意思是)说 苹果自己的两倍,不是苹果数量的两倍
E选项代入原句,就是: 125E. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces a doubling of the applesthat it did in 1910.
did=produced,代入: ... produces a doubling of the applesthat it produced in 1910.
看到了么?"that it produced in 1910" is an essential modifier that "defines" the apples. 换句话说,"the applesthat it produced in 1910"这一部分,特指那些个1910年生产出来的苹果。 那么a doubling of "那些个1910年生产出来的苹果" 不合逻辑,这就是OG解释中说的: A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples. 回忆一下咱平常见到的"double"的句子: ..., doubling the amount of X ..., doubling the rate of X 于是我们发现,"double"后面往往跟这一类的词:amount, quantity, speed, frequency, rate (of), rates (for), price, ...有规律吧?肯定不能跟"apples""students"这一类的具体的东东。
而这题正确选项代入: 125B. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces twice as many apples as it did in 1910.
句子主干: Acreage produces apples as it did. 没问题
然后用到twice as many ... (as)来修饰apples的数量,所以加到"apples"前面。 (类比:要说5个苹果,把表数量的five加到apples前面,变成"five apples") Acreage produces twice as many apples as it did.
检查一下:比较双方,前者是第一个as后面的名词"apples",后者是第二个as之后"it did"的宾语( "it did ___" 和前面 "acreage produces apples" 是平行结构,所以"it did ___"那个宾语必然和前面的宾语apples平行,必然可比)。OK,没问题。

这道题如果我遇到,我不管她怎么解释,我只知道 A不对,因为double是verb, 所以Produces double是双动词,句子错误 C不对,It指代谁? the same amount?但是原文是the same amount produces,是do sth,可是右半边是has,助动词不对称 D不对,也是同样道理there were不平行,前半句没有there be的使用 E不对,a doubling of这个doubling是noun,倍数不是这么表达的
