A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.
- as
- than
- that
- of what
- at which
此题不论从句意还是句子结构来说,应该说都不难,但错的同学却很多
引起的争议也不小,不少正确答案的解释也是千奇百怪
说明很多同学的英文基础功底还是不过硬
此题句意简单就不翻译了
为了方便分析,把插入成分per milligram去掉
句子变成
A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price——the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.
在空格中应该填入什么呢
答案是that
that引导定语从句,修饰price,that在从句中做charges的宾语(charge的用法:charges ten dollars for a haircut)
为什么选that?
看以下例题
tom的年龄是jerry的3倍,这样的句意通常可以有三种表示方法:
1 tom is twice older than jerry
2 tom is 3 times as old as jerry
3 tom is 3 times the age of jerry
可以看出,此题和第3种的表达方法类似,只不过把后置定语of jerry改成定语从句而已
此题最容易误选的of what
为什么错?
what = the thing that 在此题中=the price that
选of what则意味
3 times the price of the price that the drug's maker charges for
错误已经很明显了此题的争议也可以告一段落了
