1.                             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 microcomputer, four times as many than there were（C）


(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as


为什么选择C的there be形式呢,不是很忌讳这样的形式么?是不是因为as many as 平行结构好于E的表达??

jnlvo

as many as 既是个平行，也可认为是个比较，这要求前后的对象要有可比性，形式上尽量对称。


E项as many as 后只跟four years ago时间状语没有体现出具体什么东西相比。


而且four times 所指的对象不对，原文强调的是个比率one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils，E似乎仅指one microcomputer ，所以c对。


there be的形式本身不错，具体怎么用要看上下文。

我同意答案,问个题外的:


    every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer,这里用has对吗?还是该用have?

jnlvo

这里感觉应该是has好，因为这里强调中心是every，而不是thirty-two pupils 。

强烈同意jnlvo，牛！
