SC大全42题选C，小安45真题SC第4题选A

说c改变意思的可能有问题。我们中国人绝对是这样以为，因为小学做数学题就是绕这个。可是，看这个例子：

Although the concentration of atmospheric methane is more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of carbon dioxide, it cannot be ignored: the radiative properties of methane make it 20 times more effective, molecule for molecule, than carbon dioxide in absorbing radiant heat.
这里老外不会指实际是他的21倍吧？

还有，说那个地震波的破坏力100 times more than ....，决不会说他的破会力是后者的101倍吧?

重要的是谁知道文章中说的是几倍？

第二，文章中的be动词是要省略的，如：

he is taller than me.

he has as many dogs as me.

这些都是初中的简单的句型，大家在考试的时候一定要学会联想，想想那些最简单的句型，只有那些才是根本，才是最可靠最不会错的^_^

the "in" in A may be not properly used.

C for sure

以下是引用haoning在2005-5-27 10:12:00的发言：

而且我记得白勇的书上说过，n times more这个结构有歧义，一般不用的。

比如说，2 times more,可以理解为2倍，也可以理解为3倍。

这是我排除A的原因。

严重同意haoning MM的说法`~~顶一下~~

我来完结了这个争议吧！

有人争议A，A错误在于are:     X is ...more ..than Y

虽然plan to do与plan on doing都可以
                    

Be likely to是固定搭配,  C选项！

 

大量ETS最爱的Nytimes.com 例句：

用法一模一样！

Men are 16 times as likely as women to be colorblind. 

可能是原文：

Physicians who are members of underrepresented minorities are more likely to work in socioeconomically deprived areas.

Physicians who are members of underrepresented minorities are more likely to work in socioeconomically deprived areas.

Hispanics are half as likely as whites to receive pain medications in emergency rooms for the same injuries

In recent presidential elections, affluent voters, who tend to be liberal on cultural matters, are about twice as likely as middle-class and poor voters to…..

Physicians with high levels of belief were more than seven times as likely as those with low levels to believe that religion is a large…

Nytimes一个2种用法都有的句子：

Men are at least twice as
            likely
            as women to be alcoholics and three times more likely
        to be drug addicts.

佩服gmgj的解释啊

gmgj的分析思路很棒！

新PREP破解中答案已确定：C

According to…, minority graduates are…four times as likely as…to plan on…

 

A. 主语比较，are多余。Be likely in doing…用法错误，应为be likely to do…。

B. who plan on practicing修饰graduates
        改变原句含义，使原句意义不完整。

C. 正确。four times as likely as…和four times more likely than…都是可以的(OG同6例，各3例)。Be likely to do..使用正确，plan on doing…使用正确。

D. 改变原句含义（离谱）。It is likely that…句型可以用。OG 10 237

E. four times as…than…错。
