Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of
that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double
of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it more than doubled
of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling that of
of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of
题目分析:
在(A)(B)中,expectation的同位语部分是一个句子,这个句子的核心词是动词double;在(C)(D)(E)中,该同位语部分的核心词为personal spending。其次,我们在题目中还可以发现比较词more than。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象应该是一个季度的personal spending增长率和另外一个季度的personal spending的增长率。由于划线部分身后已经写出了in personal spending,所以double身后不需要that of来指代personal spending。另外,double在本选项中是过去时,应改为would double,因为整个划线部分均是expectation的内容。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:Intensifying expectations身后的定语是一个of型所有格。这个部分的核心词是personal spending。但在逻辑上,预期(expectation)的内容应该是在7~9月份的个人消费会怎么样,而不是个人消费本身。
D选项:of型所有格部分的核心词错误同(C)。
E选项:of型所有格部分的核心词错误同(C);比较对象错误同(A)。
... would more than double ... 不是比较more than后面加的动词,所以其实不存在that of(比较对象的问题)
... would more than double ... 不是比较。more than后面加的动词,所以其实不存在that of(比较对象的问题)
可是我觉得,double表示两倍,从语义上来看确实是比较。去掉其他修饰词,personal spending would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate ==> personal spending double growth rate
这句话也说不通呀?
确实……又回看了一下,这个double虽然是动词,但是不能够按正常double东西词义来理解…这里主要的问题还是that指代,如果指代personal spending,补全就是……double the personal spending of…the rate in personal spending…,是一个比较明显的对象有问题&redundant登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
