Regulators are likely to end what are, in effect, long-standing exemptions permitting pilots of small turboprop aircraft at small carriers to fly as much as 20 percent more hours per month than pilots at larger airlines fly, with the consequence that some carriers could be forced to hire additional pilots.
as much as 20 percent more hours per month than pilots at larger airlines fly,with the consequence that
as many as 20 percent more hours per month as pilots at larger airlines, and
more hours per month, as much as 20 percent, than pilots at larger airlines;consequently
as much as 20 percent more hours per month as larger airlines’ pilots, so
as many as 20 percent more hours per month than pilots at larger airlines do, and consequently
题目分析:
选项分析:
A选项:hours是可数名词,所以前面需要用as many as。这里用了as much as,错误。
B选项:more需要和than搭配,不能与as搭配,错误。
C选项:as much as 20 percent为插入语不再修饰hours,但合理的是“多20%的工作时间”,不能说“更多的时间,20%”。
D选项:as much as的使用错误同A;more与as搭配的错误同B。
E选项:正确。
exemptions permitting pilots of small turboprop aircraft at small carriers to fly more hours than pilots at larger airlines (to) do
请问than后面的 pilots at larger airlines (to) do 的这个to是可以省略的吗?
谢谢!!
可以省略。省略的基本原则是:只要前句中出现过的成分,都可以省略。(当然前提是不引起歧义,不过这个歧义很难量化,所以可以不考虑,就是可以补出前面出现过的任意成分)
to在这里是不定式不是介词,所以和介词不可省的原则不冲突。如果to当介词的话后面应该接fly名词形式即to flying登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
That pair of shoes costs as much as my last month's rent!
The failure rate for this class can be as much as 25 percent.
as many as = countable nouns
There will be as many as 250 people at our graduation party.
My coworkers work as many as 15 percent more hours than I do each week.
We can eliminate options A, C, & D because they don't use the correct "as many as" to refer to "hours," which are countable.
Split2:more...than...固定搭配,排除B
Split3:比较pilots of small aircraft fly----pilots at larger airlines do ,排除C
Split#1:hours是可数名词,去掉选项A、C、D
Split#2:more...than...固定搭配,去掉选项B
This is INCORRECT for a couple reasons. First, when comparing two items, we must use "X is more than Y," and not "X is more as Y." Second, the comparisons aren't parallel. This sentence compares the hours pilots at smaller carriers fly to pilots at larger airlines. Comparing hours flown to pilots isn't parallel - we must compare hours to hours!

fly more hours per month, as much as 20 percent,than B。将 as much as 20 percent看成同位语,补充说明more hours per month,到底more了多少;
as much as 改成as many as,2数字可以指代名词,20%是单数还是复数看它指代的名词是单数还是复数。20% hours是复数。
考察:
不能马虎,认真按步骤去分析排除前中后错误点,这个错的太冤了
前中后分析!more than ; as many as。percent of。hours;
前: as many as。percent of。hours;
中:排除法严谨,be 排除b因为more than而不是as,
有than就要看到比较级
ABCD就能去掉了
Comparing hours flown to pilots isn't parallel - we must compare hours to hours!
取决于percent形容的东西用many还是much
