212.
   (32918-!-item-!-188;#058&006969)     (GWD-10-Q1)
    D C

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

GWD解释：

1. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in[CH1]  planning to practice

2. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing[CH2] 

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

4. it[CH3]  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[CH4]  other graduates to plan to practice

倾向选CA[C]

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。

 [CH1]are多余；in错误

 [CH1]are多余；in错误

 [CH1]are多余；in错误

 [CH2]作定语错误

 [CH3]it做形式主语指代后面that从句，错误，that从句不能likely

 [CH4]as…than错误

我的问题是，

1.A 中4 times more likely ... C中 4 times as likely as ...

其实A讲的是5倍的关系，而C 中是四倍的关系，如果C 正确，那么不是改变了原句的意思了吗？

请大牛指点，谢谢！

2. D 错在哪？ that从句真的不能用likely吗？

1.改变就改变，原句没错的话不该，原句错误，我们只能改。不能说 likely in doing sth

2.more和rather than的搭配是不对的。

那么请问： GWD讨论中给的D选项的错误：

“it做形式主语指代后面that从句，错误，that从句不能likely ”

分析的对不对啊？

是不是 sb is likely to do sth

it is likely that 错误，只能it is possible that

还有一个问题，B 错在哪？ 明白了， 最后be likely to do 的to do 成分没有了

1。我再去查查书。。。It is likely that绝对是可以的，但是it is more likely that不可以。

2.B 的结构不可能对：主干是 sb is more likely than sb，likely不会被这样用。

it is more likely that的用法是可以的很多。但是用在这里more likely的比较对象有问题了.lz再理解下句意
