Organized in 1966 by the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Breeding Bird Survey uses annual roadside counts along established routes for monitoring of population changes of as many as, or of more than 250 bird species, including 180 songbirds.
for monitoring of population changes of as many as, or of
to monitor population changes of as many, or
to monitor changes in the populations of
that monitors population changes of
that monitors changes in populations of as many as, or
具体数量时不需用as many as,除非是表示一种强调(牛津词典)
Ron:
"to monitor" is the only one of the three beginnings that truly makes sense here.
choice B: "... as many, or 250..."
—> this is one of the worst choices i've seen in a while.
e.g.,
• "as many" is nonsense;
• "or" is nonsense;
• "or" connects non-parallel structures;
etc.
所以as many as是一个不需要保留的部分咯……?
是的。这就类似于,twice as many as sth.和twice sth.相同,as many as可以省略。
请问老师原文的意思不是表达的“大于等于”250只鸟吗?如果去掉as many as 就变成了“大于”,算不算是改变了原句的意思了?
• "as many as ... or more than 250" makes no sense, since that description encompasses literally ALL numbers (it is saying "either ≤ 250 or > 250")

split1:
USE---
right: use…to do/do sth. with……/use sth. as ……
wrong: use… for doing/use sth. like ……/use sth. to be……
split2:
AS…AS---
wrong: as many…than/so many…as/as many or more…than/three times as many more…as/
笔记:B选项那个or在那里干嘛的
那是个要连接平行的关键词啊。。
as many as ... or more than 250 重复了,意思就是more than 250 (等于或大于250/大于250)
as many(much) as 不能连用数值类名词:population、pay、amount、size、number、increase、drop等
use xxx to do sth 直接排除ADE,剩下BC;
之前做过一个题 as many 表示数量相当的,但前面要加N,排除B;
剩下C
use to do固定搭配
A、monitoring + of 无宾语
B、as many, or表述有误
DE、routes自己不能monitor,况且主谓不一致
it's possible to have "as many" by itself—but only if there's an obvious reference to a numerical figure given elsewhere in the sentence.
e.g.,
last year, i read 100 books; i have not read as many (= 100) this year.
there's nothing like this in the sentence at hand.
C) D)定语从句,先行词routes,首先monitors主谓不一致,应该是monitor;其次应该是Bird Survey去monitor,不是routes
1) 用to do结构表达目的更加有效,实战中用for doing表达目的的选项一般都做为迷惑选项,和to
do进行对比
2) GMAT考试中经常出现将相等比较as...as和more...than...形式比较合并在一起写的错误或者故
意复杂化的表示方法;正确表达应该是:at least as great as或者as great as or greater than,或者
直接用greater than。
(B)as many结构不完整,应改为of as many as or more than,(A)of as many as, or of more than结构复杂笨拙,改为
of as many as or more than更好.
as many as 和more than 重复
B.还少了as
make no sense, as many as多达;more than多余 → 等于说是全部数字
第二次错了 又选了B
monitor是及物动词,没有to monitor of sth
as many as多达...
as many as ... or more than 250" makes no sense, since that description encompasses literally ALL numbers (it is saying "either ≤ 250 or > 250"
when you say that a single number is "as big as" or "as many as" something, that's a way of putting "≤" into english words.
e.g., Our restaurant is capable of serving as many as 500 people at once.
this means "≤ 500".
比较中as many as中的as,more than的than,一定要有,且c更简洁
摘"As much as" isn't quantified by a number, because it means "equal".
This newspaper costs as much as that one.
This newspaper costs 50 cents, as much as that one. (Notice "comma + as much as that one" is now a modifier describing the price.)
所以有具体数量时不需用as many as,除非是表示一种强调(牛津词典)
