GWD 补充题 24-20

阿土莎莎

我选了D

但是发现还是E好。

miaomiao_622

主语比较,收费16000的institutions是收费8000的institions的3倍多，两个不同的institution比较，

instituitions (charging over 16000) 和 instituitions (charge under 8000) 主语不同，不能省略

行缘

as many sth as结构中第二个as应该是(副词+连接词),所以as后面是句子，不是单独名词.当然，省略除外。

我支持D.

coolkaren

做的时候选了E,现在看了那么多讨论,觉得应该是D

tree76

我相信D是正确答案。as后面是应该跟句子，而不是单独名词。所以，charge是名词的推论不能成立。

E补足后面的谓语看看，as those charging tuition and fees...over $16,000 charge 太笨拙了吧！

我相信D是正确答案。

我选了D 为了减少争议 我把OG上面所有SC中的比较发上来

    

OG上面所有比较的句子
            

    

 

    

比较的窍门其实和同谓语是一样的
        两个东西是可以互相代替原句中的东西的

    

 

    

同位语       Mr.
Wang, a gentleman, is dead.

    

无论          Mr.
Wang is dead        或者     A
gentleman is dead 是可以接受的

    

 

    

同样其实比较也是可以替换的

继续前人未完的vote，我vote E。

比较的是名词不是动作。本题关键是要完全理解意思。

不知前人列出那些例子的时候有没有注意到凡是省略了those保留动词的，省略的部分都是动词的承受者，宾语或者以被动形式出现。比较的都是动作。而凡是比较动作发出者的，都没有省略。

而本题比的是名词，且是动作的发出者，所以不省略。

请大家指正。

132. According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities.
(A) equivalent to the enrollment of
(B) the equivalent of those enrolled in
(C) equal to those who are enrolled in
(D) as many as the enrollment of
(E) as many as are enrolled in （被动，比较的是被入学的人数和前面的eight million people）
        
The phrases equivalent to in A, the equivalent of in B, and equal to in C have too broad a range of meanings to be used precisely here: that is, they can suggest more than merely numerical equality. Also, as quantitative expressions, equiva¬lent and equal often modify nouns referring to uncountable things, as in "an equivalent amount of resistance" or "a volume of water equal to Lake Michigan." To establish numerical comparability between groups with countable members, the phrase as many as is preferable. Choice D, however, uses this phrase improperly in comparing eight million people to enrollment, not to other people. The comparison in E, the best choice, is logical because people is understood as the subject of are enrolled.
省略 people
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 （比较的对象是there be 的宾语，也就是be动词的承受者，比的是动作）
(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one micro¬computer, four times as many than there were
(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcom¬puter, 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.
省略 computers
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 （最相象的例子，也是被引用最多的，比的是被kill的人，是kill这个动作的承受者，比的是在这里被杀和在那里被杀，动作）
        
(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
Choice A, the best answer, is the only option that accurately expresses the comparison by using the idiomatic form as many... as. In B and C, as many ... than is unidiomatic, and in C and E, those who is a wordy intrusion. In D and E, more is redundant because the phrase four times as many in the original sentence conveys the idea of more.
92. Never before had taxpayers confronted so many
changes at once as they had in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
(A) so many changes at once as they had in
(B) at once as many changes as
(C) at once as many changes that there were with
(D) as many changes at once as they confronted in （比较对象是动作的发出者，没有省略）
        
(E) so many changes at once that confronted them in
Choice D is the best answer, stating grammatically and clearly that, with the 1986 Tax Reform Act, taxpayers confronted more simultaneous changes than ever before. In choice A, the past perfect had [confronted] illogically places the 1986 events in the same time frame as Never before had...; a simple past tense is needed to present the 1986 events as following the earlier ones. Choices B and C awkwardly place at once between confronted and its direct object, changes. Furthermore, B illogically states that the Act itself was many changes, when the point is rather that it presented many changes, and as many ... that is an unidiomatic comparison. Choice E, too, presents an unidiomatic comparison with so many... that.
A． 时态不对---根据句意
B． 状语位置不对
C．状语位置不对， as many ..that 错，比较对象错
D． 对
E． so many..that错，从句逻辑混乱
168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did （比的是动作的发出者，没有省略）
        
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

红色部分是我的想法，请指正。

老话一句  句意为上

当然选E

谁能翻译D as many instituitions ... as charge over 16000? 一看就知道句意不通

另外LS的比较真细致 我认为相当正确
