今天做了20道prep SC 昨天做的挺好 今天又是一个个红叉叉 真的是很沮丧 不过这里面肯定是自己的原因了 做题没做到位
嗯 上来是想发一道 碰到的很喜欢的一道题
(prep sc2) 185.(26406-!-item-!-188;#058&001926)(GWD-8-Q41)
When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many
A. there are less than one-quarter that many
B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many
C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount
E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount
答案是B
(所以做这个题千万不要想 there be 这个点 错的很惨烈)
找到别人的讨论帖,收获大,贴上来 (http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-448774-1-1.html)
“看了这么多帖子觉得这道题可以学到好多知识点,归纳一下哈:
1,less修饰不可数名词,但是less of+可数名词单数/可数名词复数/不可数名词。
2,amount修饰不可数名词。
3, that many是unidiomatic expression.而as many是正确用法,并且twice as many/one quarter as many在英语中非常常见。(manhattangmat原话:"twice as many", "one-quarter as many", etc. are not only acceptable as idiomatic expressions but also extremely common in the english language.)
4,as...many表示,和...数量一样多,往往在句子中已经提到过那个数量。
5,什么时候用as...many,什么时候用as...many...as?
If you have already mentioned that data elsewhere in the sentence,use as...many structure.
If you haven't mentioned,please use the complete structure-as...many as.
examples:
There were once 20 shirts on this shelf, but, now, barely half as many are left.
There are barely half as many shirts on this shelf as there were last week.”
对我来说,学到最重要的是 as many这个词
"I found the explanation of "as many" in Longman Dictionary:
as many=a number that is equal to another number
examples:
- They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.
- A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days."
(这个词你会了咩~^^)
