补充题250 No.99

browse

99.The use of chemical pesticides in this country is equally extensive or more so than ten years ago.
(A) equally extensive or more so than ten years ago
(B) equal to or more extensive than ten years ago
(C) as extensive as ten years ago or more
(D) equal to, if not more, than ten years ago
(E) as extensive as it was ten years ago, if not more so

这里E中的if not more so怎么看怎么不舒服，大虾能不能解释一下？

比较的三种表达:A is at least as great as B
                           A  is as great as B, if not more so
                           A is as great as, or greater than, B

Longman解释
“be more so”中so表示
used to refer back to an idea, action, quality, situation etc that has just been mentioned

eg:
The band is popular and likely to become more so.

这里so指extensive，后半句省略了一部分，完整的是if the use is not more extensive.

                            A is as great as, or greater than, B

这里第三种表示方法好象在OG中明命禁止了吧？

可是原句是”The use of chemical pesticides in this country is equally extensive or more so than ten years ago.”表示有”more than”的意思，如果改成"if the use is not more extensive"不是有改变句意了吗？？

ETS喜欢so 这个词

大部分时候都见到这个我都会直接优先考虑

错就错吧
