题目分析:
本题的意思是:
官方预测说:司机们在新的限速标准下超速的可能性和在现行的限速标准下超速的可能性是相同的。
选项分析:
A选项:equally和as…as…均表示两者相等的含义,但是不能用equally…as…;其次,比较对象有误。在逻辑上,应该比的对象是“司机们将会有的情况”和“司机们现在的情况”,而不是和current one。
B选项:equally错误同(A)。
C选项:equally错误同(A);比较错误同(A);be likely to do为习惯表达,不能用be likely that。此处考查的是“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题,likely表示其身后的事情的发生的概率较高,所以应该用不定式to do。
D选项:比较错误同(A);be likely that错误同(C)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
e 选项 as they are 如何理解?如果是省略的话 as they are (likely to exceed) current one 似乎可以这样省略。。。
可以说 as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they do the current one 吗?
不可以的。因为如果补do的话,就说明第二个as后面的内容没有“be likely to”这个助动词了。也就是说,比较的对象变为了:
司机们未来可能超过限速 和 现在超过限速
但逻辑上应该比较的是:
司机们在为了超过限速的可能 和 现在超过限速的可能
