GWD-10-Q1

According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

1. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

2. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

3. minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

4. it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

5. it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

 

likely to plan似乎比likely in planning更合乎用法

而plan to do与plan on doing都可以

Be likely to, 根据此，认为C选项比较好。

可是答案给的是A,为什么呢?

我也赞成C,理由和你一样

lz确定有plan on doing这种说法吗？xdf上课时老师给出的C不对理由就是没有plan on doing这种说法，尽管我觉得likely in doing一样奇怪。。。

以下转自论坛，参考一下，个人认为挺有道理的

A 中强调的是Practice

C: 中强调的是Plan.

从原文的意思上讲,强调的是PRACTICE.

从语法结构上讲, A 也没有错误. 比较的对象是GRADUATTES, 是主语并且

补出了系动词.

可我这边版本的答案是C

奇怪

GWD的SC还是比较奇怪的

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！

可是刘振民的书里说到:倍数(数量词)＋形容词/副词比较级＋than是可以用来作为倍数增减表达的.举的例子是:Force　N1 is 4 times greater than Force N2.
