A study published in the British Medical Journal showed that women who ate nuts more than five times a week were about one third less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease as those who ate no nuts at all.

(A) as those who ate

(B) as women who ate

(C) as those eating

(D) than women eating

(E) than were those who ate

答案是E

上题可概括为Somebody is one third less likely to do than those were。但GWD里的这道题，如下：

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.

AC

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     be likely to do

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

答案是C

记得讨论贴中有人说“根据以往nn的总结，结构：主语 + be + adj比较级 + than，
    后面应当省略be动词”

  虽然我承认C选项读起来蛮通顺的。但A选项，不也是Sb be four times likely than sb are吗？这个are到底能不能省略？

这题的问题还在be likely to do吧

比较的事情是‘plan on practicing’

A不是错在are，而是在后面的in planning to practice

谢谢mm。还是记住plan on doing吧。不过对于比较的题目我还是比较发怵。

今天mock了一下，pace不太好。最后一个星期要加倍努力了。

一起加油！
