89.   A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.

(A) there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(B) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were

(C) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were

(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were（C）

(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as

昨天刚刚遇见倒装句，今天就又被比较句难倒了。我真应该回回炉了。闲话少说，我研究了一下OG的解释，CD上关于此题的讨论，并结合了我自己的理解，现将上题的解题思路分解如下。希望能够抛砖引玉。如有偏颇与瑕疵，也望牛牛虾虾们知无不言，言无不尽哦~~

第一，   最先能够被发现的错误是”there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils”中的are和”as many than”中的than.前者紧接的是一个单数（one microcomputer），所以应用there is；后者的固定搭配是”as + adj.原型 + as”。Than的一般用法是”adj. 比较级+than”。于是，选项A, B和D都可以被排除了。

第二，   E选项比较容易被排除的原因是逻辑关系错误。E用的是”X has+ number +Y”的句型，比较的是数量，其意为“现在每32个学生有1台电脑，是四年前的4倍”，即四年前每8个人有1台电脑。这明显是和题目原意相违背的。

第三，   几个小语言点：

1.       as many as 后的there were可以和前面的there is看作是平行结构。“as...as和the same...as前后的主语比较：后面的主语可省略，但要保留与前相对应的定语成份，并要求后面有谓语助词"

2.       as many as后的there were是否应为there was.一种解释是：后半句的完整句应为which was four times as many as there were microcomputers four years ago. 因此many与microcomputers都决定了应用there were.

3.       One X for every + number +Y表示每多少Y有一个X（用there be句型时应为there is）
