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)。
B.that of去掉的话虽然不赘余了,但是比较对象没问题吗?personal spending和rate in personal spending???
... 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
