马上考了，求助GWD26－28有没有人觉得A对

windrainjc

Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed

limit as the current one.

A.     equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as

B.     equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are

C.    equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as

D.    as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as

E.     as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are.

 全句话补全应该是 Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally/as likely to exceed the proposed speed limt as they are to exceed the current one. 撇开they可能引起歧义，好像补可以只省略to exceed吧。要么是as they are to exceed the current one, 要么是as are to exceed the current one, 要么是as to exceed the current one,要么是as the current one. 我觉得as the current one是最短最有效的。所以应该是A啊。很多人可能觉得equally likely as 的用法不对，不防google一下 ”equally like as". 好多例句。

还有几天就要考了，欢迎讨论。

没人回复。自己顶一下。

正式的用法是as...as...

动作比较，所以A错，E对～

witylee

由於畫線部份有as出現，必須回頭去找前面的as，卻只找得到equally，equally與as就意思上造成重複，要決定保留哪一個。這是第一點。第二點是句子最後部份的one到底refer to which noun? 。AT有條考試方法：舊資訊不擺最後，因為都要省掉。(例如考古p.54-20與p.4-14)

再來，選擇使用單一（不要混合兩種使用方式，為了滿足一致性要求）比較的結構，即保留equally或as…as的答案來檢查，只有D跟E可選，又考慮上述第二點的話，E句子結構完整，比較也硬梆梆。

 

D還有一點不好的，它將情態助動詞加入畫線部份造成句意改變。

 

以上…

谢谢回复。我总觉得E中的第二个as后面they are the current one(speed limit).很别扭。可以把中间的(to exceed)省略，而保持主语和谓语么？equally后面可以跟as吧. "equally likely as"可以搜到很多例句。

leoozop

equally和as..as重复，不选。

windrainjc

多谢leoozop回复。这道题目估计大家觉得很简单。我想自己是钻牛角尖了。equally和as likely as确实重复，但是A中并没有两个as.而是equally likely as, as的作用就象the same as中的as一样。

有没有人觉得E中的they are the current one别扭的？今天问了公司里的两个老美，都说E肯定不对。不过他们没有学过GMAT。恳请牛人其他帮忙回答一下吧 1）equally likely as的用法有问题么？2）E中的they are是不是多此一举？the current one中的one只能取代limt,没有歧义吧？

windrainjc

不好意思，我还在牛角里。哪个达人能不能回答一下我那两个问题。1). equally likely as必错么？ 2）可以只省略 to exceed么？

请参照一下下面一道题。答案是A。

GWD16-Q30:

According to public health officials, in 1998 Massachusetts became the first state in which more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it.

 

 

1. than
2. than born
3. than they were
4. than there had been
5. than had been born

恳请回复！

as … as, So DE. D wordy, So E.

“equally” and “as likely” as are redundant.

 

The sentence should be:

 

Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are (likely to exceed) current one.
