11.   Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.


(A) have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary


(B) have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do


(C) have half the chance that they will die of a heart attack, or less, than those who are sedentary do


(D) are at least fifty percent less likely to die of a heart attack as those who are sedentary(E)


(E) are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack




我选错了, 选了b , 这里b是错在 chance to do 和chance of doing 上马? 还有其他错么?

这道题我也选了b, 我当时觉得E是:less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack.  觉得红字部分整个修饰前面的those,于是句子的结构就不完整了,至少会引起歧义。


sb+be+adj.+to do sth 这个句型也是有的,比如说I am glad to meet you.但问题是,这个句型里的adj.常是表达人情感、能力等的形容词,如angry / pleased /happy /surprised /afraid /sure等。那么,是不是因为句子里面用了sedentary而避免了这个歧义呢?

有than 就要 有more 或less,有as 就要成对出现,more than as不能同时出现,习惯用语be likely to do , less than
