og89 not clear

这题又想不同了，为什么OG解释E选项时说Choices D and E reorder and garble the “one X...” construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils. 为什么不是就近修饰microcomputer呢？谢谢大家！

89.   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

Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction “one X for every thirty-two Y’s” to describe the ratio of computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and garble the “one X...” construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.

问个没讨论过的……

(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

单从主谓一致的角度，哪个对啊？？

感觉应该是have

这里的every修饰thirty-two pupils, 所以主语应该是后者. 另外在逻辑大全里找到一个印证:

23.   When 100 people who have not used cocaine are tested for cocaine use, on average only 5 will test positive. By contrast, of every 100 people who have used cocaine 99 will test positive. Thus, when a randomly chosen group of people is tested for cocaine use, the vast majority of those who test positive will be people who have used cocaine.

A reasoning error in the argument is that the argument

(A) attempts to infer a value judgment from purely factual premises

(B) attributes to every member of the population the properties of the average member of the population

(C) fails to take into account what proportion of the population have used cocaine

(D) ignores the fact that some cocaine users do not test positive（C）

(E) advocates testing people for cocaine use when there is no reason to suspect that they have used cocaine

(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

我认为是has，不能看楼上的例子，因为那已经是who引导的从句了。every thirty-two pupils和every team, every family没有本质区别。

Every team chooses its MVP.

Every family has a permission of entry.

请问every 100 people who have.....这个从句里who指代谁? 从句的主语还不就是every 100 people, 所以这里用have就是every 100 people的谓语.

好，我死背！！

不用死背, 分析一下.

every thirty-two pupils 强调的是把thirty-two pupils 作为整体来看. 虽然有every这个词, 但它只是个修饰语, 最后还是thirty-two pupils 有一些什么动西.

靠背太累了, 要掌握一种积极的分析方法, 即以不变应万变. 若能举一反三, 什么样的题目都万变不离其宗. 但想靠举三反一应试, 一来没有那么多时间和题目让你适应, 二来ETS很是高明, 要不然GMAT怎么是一种能力考试, 而不是知识考试.

斑竹MM 这个帖子的说法好像和你的有一定的矛盾http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=37453 好像也有一定的道理，不知道应该如何了
