请教OG12-16

羊的2009

其实我还有一个疑问，就是OG说expectation后边是还未发生的事，所有要有would这个助动词来表示，但是D里并没有这样的词，为什么说他没有错呢

追逐2011

以下是引用KiteRunner在2009/6/29 16:00:00的发言：

16. Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

(A) that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of

(B) that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double

(C) of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that is more than doubled

(D) of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling that of

(E) of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of

the correct answer is B.

我的问题：would more than double 中的double是动词？more than double又是什么意思呢？

                  还有，"personal spending" 怎么会double "the 1.4 percent growth rate"呢？这句话应该怎样理解啊？

                  OG对D选项的解释：altough this option is not technically wrong, it is less clear and graceful than B. 这样的话，that of又是指的什么呢？

盼高人指教，万分感谢！！

我的理解，由于是expectation,所以A中的doubled应该是(should,would)double

C的that 指代不明，并且独立成句，缺少连词，是sentence fragment.

D的 末尾的that逻辑上指代expectations,所以，指代错误，应该是those

E的末尾2个that不是指代同一件东西，指代错误，另外，没有连接词sentence fragment的错误。

B中的double是动词，比较对象是 personal spending 。由于是根据某一个月的retail sales “rose”的推测，所以应该引入"would "表示可能性。

1、would more than double 中的double是动词？

double可以做为动词。

2、more than double又是什么意思呢？不止1倍

3、 还有，"personal spending" 怎么会double "the 1.4 percent growth rate"呢？这句话应该怎样理解啊？

这个我也糊涂了

金山词霸里面有个例句，应该有助于理解
The baby doubled its weight in a year.
那婴儿一年中体重增加了一倍

期待NN解释。

答案是比出来的
CDE可以很容易排除，AB比较，B更清晰，that of指代不明。

D中的THAT OF到底有没有错误

非常同意楼主的解释

现在再来看这题觉得是这样的：expectations后跟同位语从句，解释说明expectations的内容。像sprins所说，从句that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter是普通主谓宾结构而不是比较结构。
其中主语：personal spending；谓语：would double（would后面并没有be，所以真正的谓语动词应该是double）；宾语：1.4 percent growth rate 大意是说7-9月季度的个人开销将使上季度个人开销的1.4%的增长率翻一倍还多。注意，这里more than是副词短语，修饰谓语动词double，有“不止...”的意思，而不是我们常接触到的比较结构。
所以personal spending和growth rate并不是两个比较对象，不需要概念对等；它们只是动作发出者和承受者的关系。整个从句可以用被动语态表达：the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter would be more than doubled by personal spending in the July-September quarter.
个人理解，如有不对，欢迎拍砖。

朗文词典的例句：
The church has doubled its membership in the last five years.

不知道大家有没有发现，double的主宾有这样的关系：
the membership of the church
the weight of the baby
the growth rate of personal spending

总结出来就是double作为动词，其主宾应该是拥有和被拥有（或者宾语是主语的属性之一）的关系，如上面的例句，church拥有membership（从its可以看出来是“拥有”）。

而personal spending也同样拥有自己的growth rate（翻成中文就是个人消费的增长率）。
如果句子是personal spending would double its growth rate，就不难理解了
而OG的题目中只是扩充了主语和宾语的内容以及增加了时间概念，就是7-9月这个季度的personal spending would double 上一个季度personal spending的增长率

我也认为that指代的是personal spending，因为这是句子里唯一可以指代的单数名词，但是我认为D是错的，错在重复。

把句子还原：
intensifying expectations of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling personal spending of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

原句in personal spending修饰growth rate；
that of代进去以后，变成了growth rate修饰personal spending

最后变成了personal spending (of...) in personal spending，一个没有意义的重复，所以我觉得无论如何都不可能是对的。。。

同意B中more than修饰that从句中的谓语double的程度
that从句只是一个普通的主谓宾结构而不是比较结构
同样D中，只是由于expectations of使得其后面的内容不能是主谓结构，从而spending后面只能用现在分词来限定
但偶觉得D中的that不能指代expectations和retail sales，those才可以呀
that应该还是在指代spending吧
that (of the 1.4 percent growth rate) in personal spending for the previous quarter中的of相当于adj定于限定that，当然这种n+(of+n)的结构远不如adj+n>n+that定从
