我本来坚定D的，但是看了这么多讨论，觉得E才是最正确的，大家一定要注意这句话的谓语是非划线部分的charge

当然是E.

GWD-24-Q 20:

According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College and

University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent

institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a

year than those that charge over $16,000.

 

A.     than those that charge

B.     than are charging

C.     than to charge

D.     as charge

E.      as those charging

对于这道题，我来谈谈看法。做题的时候我一看到就在D、E之间愣了很久，但是最后我选E。我觉得GMAT语法中的一个优先原则，是表达的意思要单一，不能有多义性。来看OG-10-187的例子（选D的论据）：

187. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

(A)  Americans were killed as

(B)  Americans were killed than

(C)  Americans were killed than those who

(D)  more Americans were killed as there

(E)   more Americans were killed as those who

这句话几乎与题目一模一样。但请注意，这里的正确答案A中，as 后面的would later be killed是没有歧义的，毫无疑问的动词谓语，那么主语省略的比较当然成立。

我们再来看上面的GWD-24-20，D一个很大的问题是，这个as后面的charge是多义的，你可以理解为“charge (v.) 收费”，那么是谓语成分；但我也可以理解为“charge (n.)费用”，那么原句成了institutions与charge的比较，在逻辑上这是荒谬的，但在语法上这是可能的，所以我认为这种表达不好，所以我认为应该选E

以下是引用mbz在2007-1-8 6:06:00的发言：

这题的答案很明显是E。

跟很多GWD争论题的根源一样。其实是对OG中比较AS。。AS。。，MORE THAN。。。的用法

吃的不透。

我不想点破。大家慢慢体会吧。

不是我有于卖关子。其实就算我讲出来，争论还会继续。就算是通读了大牛TONY和MINDFREE的语法笔记，因为没有自己的总结，体会，也只能是水过鸭背。所以大家不要嫌麻烦，应多读OG，多多总结，体会。

说的有道理，但能不能不要装呢？！

发现ETS还真了解我们的弱点。。。

那么多有争议的题。。。叹

还是觉得D， charge做费用是可数的见LONGMANtʆɑːdʒ $ tʆɑːrdʒ /
1
▶RICE◀
[uncountable and countable] the amount of money you have to pay for goods or services
Gas charges will rise in July.
charge of
an admission charge of $5

这里如果是名词的话，应该是charges, obviously, “ charge”是动词。没有歧义 D 更加公整， 身略了institutions, 我开始想既然身略为什么不链charge 也省掉，后来看了到over $16,000,  想来补全了charge over 和前面的charge (tuition and fees of )under $8,000 对称

otherwise,

OG187  is not the case

187. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
                    

如果是E的话，OG187就应该改为as many Americans were killed as   those who would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.   而且用分词charging修饰those不好， 这里charge并不是个持续性动作

E!

首先是AS...AS 结构不能省略

其次是两个不同的主语```一个是UNDER 8000的CONSTITUTE``一个是OVER 16000的CONTITUTE```不同的主语用AS结构要补出

再次那个CHARGING是从句的省略

 

支持E!!!!!!!
