Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.
have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary
have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do
have half the chance that they will die of a heart attack, or less, than those who are sedentary do
are at least fifty percent less likely to die of a heart attack as those who are sedentary
are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack
错选B,这里or less只是一个插入语,不在句子主干中,所以没法和than形成搭配,只能选E
a, have half or less than half the chance... as those are
have the chance,句意变为patients有这样的机会→句意不对
b, less 是个插入语,后面句子中有than,不对。
c, or less插入语
d, less... as
as……as
less……than
语义 搭配
chance 句意不对排除ABC less 作为插入语时不用than,less than 搭配
AS...AS OR LESS...THAN
OR LESS是插入语
less...than...
a, have half or less than half the chance... as those are
have the chance,句意变为patients有这样的机会→句意不对
b, less 是个插入语,后面句子中有than,不对。
c, or less插入语
d, less... as
不说half the chance,fifty-fifty chance
b没有比较级,插入语不算。
ABC三个选项应该是as...as, DE是less than
翻了牛津词典,chance的定义是a possibility of sth happening, especially sth that YOU WANT, 这里death和risk搭配要合适一些
half...as those/than those -- non-idiomatic
B&C中的do虽然没有错但是wordy
先看主干,ABC的主干意思都是研究表示他们有机会,但DE主干意思都是他们会死(be likely to 属于助动词忽略,核心是do), 一般study后面的核心都是do, 而不是有机会。。。。
C项是同位语成分,即they will die of... 是chance的同样意思,错。
D应该是less和than搭配,而不是as
误选A,因为AS作为连词后面必须是个句子,所以A是语法错误。
as前后结构必须都是who are。
B, have half the chance,or less,...这里or less是插入语,所以这个句子的主干,没有比较级,所以用than 不恰当. (和楼上一位说得一样).
C, 和B一样,没有比较级,所以不应该用than,而且 or less的插入语位置不对,
D, 有比较级,却用了as,没有用than. 而且as后面没有补出助动词 ARE.
For choice B: have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do.
Awkward, Wordy, Comma splice ", or less", "who are sedantary do" doesn't make any sense.
A as不对
B or less是插入语,后面就不用than
C or less是插入语,后面就不用than
D as不对
不知道这个do有没有问题??
