Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

 

 

 

1. an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications
2. an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
3. so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
4. so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
5. so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medication

  Answer: E

哪位受累讲解一下此题的语法点。看着有些糊涂。

not so much 是修饰程度的意思。句子翻译：说失眠是一种病不如说失眠是对另一个问题的症状性的表现，也许仅仅是对某些药物的反应，也许是旅行前的焦虑，也许是面试前的紧张。

E是五个选项中相对最好的一个，但是but symptomatic跟an illness or a physical condition不平行，如果E改成下面这样就好了：
so much an illness or a physical condition but a symtom of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medication, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

A错在so much位置放错；a reaction（单） to medications（复）不妥。
B错在so much位置放错；as后面要跟名词symptom；may be a simple one笨拙且扭曲句意；like用作举例错，应该such as；a reaction caused by不对，应该是a reaction to；medications复数错。
C错在as simple as扭曲句意，句子本意是simply仅仅，只不过的意思，而不是说那个problem简单；when certain medications cause a reaction笨拙。
D错在逗号把原来的整句分割成两部分，使not so much...but...意思有程度上的改变；a simple one错；like错；medications causing a reaction这里需要的中心词是reaction，而不是medications.

我记得CD上有下载，MM可以把标题写成GWDXX（哪一套）-XX（哪一题）

记得朱江老师的笔记上说，maybe不能连用。所以我上来就把D，E排除了。。。。

请nn指教！！

I agree with A
"not so much A as B" is idiom 意思为：与其说A不如说B

ProfCPA

我也同意选A。
E答案严重不平行，而且前面所说的A的问题也都不存在。so much as这种用法是对的，后面啊 a reaction to mediations也没问题。

1. A.B.

not so much...最好连用－－用完整的这个词组google结果：42，600，000

2. C.D.

symptom as simple as/like 与后头的比较对象不构成平行

C.as simple as 前：a symptom VERSUS 后：when certain medications cause a reaction；没有构成平行结构

D. "a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction";

like前后比较应该也要平行，此处失败，变成－－－前：a symptom VERSUS 后：certain medications causing
