prep72--请教 as many。。as的用法

cathy_ly

72. A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.

(A)as compared to households where the

(B)as there are households where the

(C)as those whose

(D)than compared to those where the

(E)than there are whose

 

A: compared to和前面的as…as结构重复

B: correct

C: whose grandparents 和前面不对称

D: than和前面不对称

E: 同上

我怎么看这个题目都没有正确答案。B里面究竟是怎么个比较结构？

A as many as B ?

as many A as B ？

怎么感觉这个题目是两个的混合那。there are 在 第一个as的前面，household where。。。在as many后。怎么这么乱呀？

as many 。。as的比较对我怎么那么难，每次都回做错。总找不到比较对象。请高手指教一下呀！！！

as many household as household

只有B最工整

以下是引用soniashi在2007-5-18 10:57:00的发言：

as many household as household

只有B最工整

 答案的却只有B勉强可以选。但是，我觉得要是按照og上的比较的方式的话，这个句子这样写才工整：there are more than three times households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as many as

 there are households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.

好像发现PREP上的比较和平行和OG上相比都不是很工整，比如下面这个题目：

A recently published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less a year by the time they reach the age of 50.

A. other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less

B. other college-educated professionals, by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, to almost $24,000

C. what other college-educated professionals are paid—making an average of nearly $8,000 a year less at the start of their careers and almost $24,000 less

D. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers to almost $24,000 less

E. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $8,000 a year at the start of their careers, and by almost $24,000

 

A: salaries 和professionals比较错，they指代有歧义

B: 同上

C: what are paid=salaries 啰嗦

D: by an average … to almost $24000 less 不平行

E: correct

我觉得E这个答案也是牵强的平行。和OG上的实在不象。难道这就是SC现在的最新风格？？

以下是引用cathy_ly在2007-5-18 12:16:00的发言：

 there are households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.

**质疑:

我觉得最好用"there are XX times as many (n.) as........": 

as many as很少有直接放一起连接前后对比用的(没见过). 另外,如果这样用,后边就不能用句子了,就得和households这单个词做比较了.

请NN指教

orochisx

B应该是最佳答案 但是)as there are households where the    

其中为什么有个 there are  呢

请高人指点下

谢谢哦

up，这个就是我的疑问了

这个问题也困扰我好久了，真不知道怎么就前后混在一起比较了，

虽然这个勉强选对了，但说服不了自己。。。。。。只能用排除法

A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are
   more than three times as many
   households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as there are
   households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.

这个是主谓宾全的比较结构，最清晰的比较方法就是象正确选项一样把前后的主谓宾结构写全。

要注意GMAT的比较结构的最大原则是意思清晰，而不是省略。而且对于 there be 句型的比较，一般都是结构完整的比较形式。

请看OG10SC例题：

89. 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 micro?computer, four times as many than there were
(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcom?puter, four times as many as
Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction "one X for every thirty-two Y's" to describe the ratio of computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and garble the "one X ..." construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.

至于A as many as B 与 as many A as B  的问题，其实是一个 A do B as many as C do 和 A do as many B as C do 的差异问题。

通常比较多的是 A do B as many as C do  这种形式，但是A do as many B as C do 这个也是对的，请看ＯＧ例题：

主语比较_主谓宾_as+adj.+宾语+as
168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

主语比较_主谓宾_as+adj.+不定式宾语+as
156. Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strained townships point out that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.
(A) dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads
(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads
(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as for paved roads
This sentence compares the costs required to maintain two kinds of roads. B, the best choice, is able to maintain parallelism in the comparison as well. Choice A incorrectly shifts the meaning by comparing the cost of dirt roads with the cost of maintaining paved roads. Choice C does the opposite: it compares the cost of maintaining dirt roads with the cost of paved roads themselves. Choice D further confuses the sentence by adding a nonparallel clause, it does for, in which it has no clear referent. Choice E introduces the infinitive phrase to maintain... and wrongly attempts to complete the comparison with the nonparallel prepositional phrase for....

crowkiller 我想请教一个问题

A recent national study of the public schools shows that  there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were four years ago

这里面为什么使用 there were??呢  不是补出后应该是 there were one microcomputer for every 8 pupils four years ago??
