According to a new report by the surgeon general, women with less than a high school education had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking as women who went to college.
had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking
had three times the likelihood of beginning smoking
were three times more likely to begin to smoke
were three times more likely that they would begin to smoke
were three times as likely to begin smoking
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。
