以下是引用番茄笑了在2005-8-20 4:37:00的发言：

Q8:

A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.

1. as
2. than
3. that
4. of what
5. at which

这一题选择c我没有疑问！的确是c比较简洁也清楚！可是我做的时候两次都选了E。郁闷啊~不知道为什么脑子里总觉得price at which...charge for...是一种合适的搭配！有没有人能给我解释一下E到底怎么错了？谢谢。。。

如果选E的话，后半句就变成 the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient at 10$. 正确的表达应该是the drug's maker charges 10$ for another product with the same active ingredient.

选C.

D 选项“of what",不管是the price of price that....; 还是the price of product that ....都说不通。

E 选项“at which".  我们可以说charge sth at ..., 也可以说 charge .... for ; charge ... for  就是C选项的用法。 如果要用"at which" ，那么句子里的for应该删除掉。再说charge sth1 at sth2. 这个sth2一般是rate或者是个范围，另外朗文里面关与charge sth at sth用的例句基本上是被动语态。

A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, at which the drug’s maker charges
                (for) another product with the same active ingredient.

选C哦，我在new york times找到原句了

New Pill for Baldness: Old Drug at Higher Price
Propecia, a hair-growth drug, is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, that the drug's maker, charges for another product with the same active ingredient. Page D1.

太厉害了,NY times的原句,那应该选C

我也觉得D是对的，the price of what ..., 后面的charge 跟 of dollar 是比较合适的，charge 后面跟that ( the price) 就不合适了。
