题目分析:根据最近的研究,美国的退休人员给他们的孩子经济援助的可能性是接受孩子的经济援助的可能性的四倍
本题主要考察了比较
选项分析:
A选项:比较 要不然是“more...than...”,要不然是“as...as...” 没有more...as...的搭配。
B选项:这个选项用了as...as...的搭配,但是第一个as后面是“give aid”,即谓语宾语成分,但第二个as后面是完整的一句话,成分并不对等。
C选项:正确
D选项:it在这里是形式主语,指代“美国退休人员给孩子们经济援助”这一件事,此时就变成了“这件事是有可能的”;than 后面是“退休人员有可能接受援助”,此时变成了“退休人员有可能去干嘛干嘛”。很明显,并不能“一件事”和“一群人”比较。
E选项:同D
为什么曼哈顿prepSC里写,xx times as...as要一起用,不能说xx times more than
time的用法还有xx times sth, 意思是是什么的几倍…
这里怎么xx times more likely 一起用呢…
我也有同样疑惑。。。我也是因为记得曼哈顿里面说的times as。。as不能跟than一起用排除的c
其实我一直不明白为什么要听曼哈顿的。句子改错部分只有很少很少的部分在考查语法,其余的其实考查的是逻辑判断能力。换句话说,只要是符合英语语法的,GMAT考试都是接受的。因此,xxx times more than啊,xxx times as as呀,都是正确的结构,完全没有错误。
