最新11th OG SC No.04

A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy, twice as much as 1977.

a) twice as much as 1977

b) twice as many as 1977

c)double what it was in 1977

d)double the figure for 1977

e)a number double that of 1977

答案为D，但是这里double是什么结构？还有这个double是否可以理解成修饰20,736 ，也可以理解成修饰 9 percent of the nation's clergy？

NN们帮个忙啦！

double应该修饰the figure ；这与all the people中的all用法相近。此用法中，double 主要用在数、量方面。

只是对这里的D中的for 1977中的for用法有点困惑。og有解释吗？谢谢！

XUANYA2005

double 当然是对figure的修饰，但是double the figure 修饰什么东西？好像有歧义的说！

OG原文没有具体解释for 1977,只是对D作为这样的解释：for 1977 corectly completes the comparison。

根据我的理解一般情况可能用of 1977, 但是用for 1977 来修饰the figure 也可以理解。

大家一起来讨论新题！

个人认为：

double the figure for 1977和almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy两者全是修饰 the figure: 20,736 female ministers

理由：

1. double:朗文字典，palm 版本

  adj, twice as big/many/much as something else.

2. 个人认为:double the figure (that  was) for 1977

  根据一og题目：... ，an area that is about the size of cololado====>an area about the size of colorado. 跟almost 9% ...一起修饰20,736 female ministers。 假设figure 又修饰绝对数字又修饰相对数字，应该是复数： figures.

3.个人认为the figure of 1977不妥

字典例句：an estimated figure of $200 million  具体数字

by the way, I didnt know there is an OG of 11th version and use the 10th one, so, is there big difference between 11th and 10th?

should I buy 11th?

題目有沒有打錯double的时態 ?

當verb 或adi 都說不通  ...

       verb :  沒有conj ,雙動詞? 时態錯誤?

       adj  : 前面省略which is ;  double後面直接加N?

查了longman, double还有下列一种用法

double

twice as big, twice as much, or twice as many

double the amount/number/size etc

We'll need double this amount for eight people.

The value of the house is double what it was.

问jxjiao：

为什么double the figure 不可以修饰9 percent, 表明1977年是4.5%,这个概念和double the figure修饰20,736是不同的。

同意for的看法。

大家一起讨论一下：

almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy，是什么结构？double在句中又是什么结构？

忘记回答OG11th的问题了。

sc和Rc基本包括10OG里面的题目，很少有大全里面没有的，只是11th解释更加简洁，解体的方法是比较实用，但是相应提到的考试点就少了，相当于排除法。

CR和math，我没有看过大全，cr也有重复的，解释更加无聊就是了，好像是对着答案说解释。

一句话，浪费我40刀！

谢谢楼上的，我就先看有的资料啦

almost 9% 是前面的同位语吧。

我认为不修饰9%，是因为20,736 female ministers是重心，主要讲的是这个数字，百分数只是个估计almost.

关于double。。的用法，形容词做状语？大全有一道类似的题目，供参考

section 2-21

According to surveys by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 20 percent of young 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）

(E) twice the number reported in the 1977 survey

另外，OG也有一道类似的题目

49. The cameras of the Voyager II spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling Uranus,doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit

所以，原来那题目类似的答案可能有：doubling the number ... or twice/double the number....

不过有个疑问：twice是副词，double是形容词，用法一样，奇怪
