比较-倍数,倍数比较的正确表达方式为:…times(或数字)+as+形容词或副词+as…,注意as…as…的固定搭配,more…as…是常见混淆选项。
(A) 比较结构不完整,未划线部分的as后面跟的是名词,所以as为介词,完整的形式应该为as+形容词…as…。
(B) 错误与A选项相同;likelihood后接that从句与likelihood of doing sth两种表达方式都正确。
(C) 比较结构搭配错误,more likely to…应该跟than,而不是as。
(D) 错误与C选项相同。
E: 正确,倍数+as+形容词+as。
感谢由 abccccccc 对此题目的解答所做出的贡献。
考点:比较
as...as...是同级比较,前面有three times后面两个as必须同时出现;
A 缺少一个as,句子表达不完整;
B 同A
C 同A
D 同A
E 正确
不能是人有可能性
划线后还有一个as
1.as...as
2.begin doing一般是从第三方角度描述doing这一事件,并不强调这件事的始发地点,只是一种客观描述;而to do则是强调在某个时间点之后,开始做某事
as作介词表示作为,是
women A have three times the likelihood as women B,as的逻辑错误
A were three times as likely as B, as/as作副词,修饰整个句子,A是3倍,怎么样是3倍?在可能性方面跟B相比是3倍
倍数表达用twice/xx times as...as
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandso
表达某人有做某事的可能性用:sb is likely to do, 而不用sb has the likelihood of doing sth
倍数表达用twice/xx times as...as
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson.
A的主体是研究表明xxx的女人有可能; E 的主体是研究表明xx的女人吸烟。 be likely to相当于助动词,重点在于后面的smoke。 研究表明的重点是smoke,而不是有可能,所以选E
倍数表达用twice/xx times as...as
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson.
C: more likely... should be followed by "than"
E: as likely... as is correct
这里begin smoking 不应该是begin to smoke吗?不应该是从不抽烟变成抽烟,一种状态的转变而用不定式吗?
as....as...
这道题我是用 be likely to 和as...as 这两个点来选正确答案的
但是我有个点不是很明白 were 和had 在这里有选项的区别吗
有。我们不能说“某人拥有可能性”,只能说“某人干某事的可能性”。
