22.        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              

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

C

是不是如果A选项里用的是there be,那么就代表客观存在,其他只有也是there be结构的选项才可以正确

认为C选项中的WERE应该是WAS才对,E错在哪,HAS也不错呀?

four times of what? four times of 32 pupils as many as there were?

歧义。

kennypl

是不是 as many as后面的省略主谓和前面不一致?

kennypl

比较结构如果前后的主谓是一样的,那就可以省略后面一样的部分

这个题目E难道不是这样吗

同问,我也选的E,而且新东方不是说过there be不是优选答案么

胡搅蛮缠

there were补出 使得对比部分清晰

there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils,four times as many as there were (computers)  four years ago.

there be 表示客观存在，常用在research,study中，someone has则为主观拥有，改变了原句的意思

                four years ago.

I matched the color. There is now one microcomputer. "one microcomputer" is singular, so that you have to pick up "is" here.

"four times [pupils] as many [as] there were four years ago."  

You cannot use both "as" and "more".

four times as many as there were four years ago = three times more than there were four years ago.
