标题: OG11-Review-SC4 [打印本页]

请教一道简单题 OG-11/Review/SC-4

原题

A survey by XXX showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of YYY, twice as much as 1977

正确选项是double the figure for 1977

-------------------------------------------------

排除法很容易得知其他四个选项是错误的; 不过,上面正确的选项 --- double是动词还是形容词呢?

(1)如果是动词,显然时态和showed/were不符,且句意错误(不能是survey或者there去double)

(2)如果是形容词,倒装?为什么?句型复原后是什么?

多谢!

对阿,是不是还有更好的选项呢。

原题在这里:

A survey by XXX showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of YYY, twice as much as 1977.

A: twice as much as 1977
B: twice as many as 1977
C: double what it was in 1977
D: double the figure for 1977
E: a number double that of 1977's

GMAC给的正确答案确实是D。

D是正确答案。

这里的double是形容词,英文解释是:twice as big/much/many as something else. 也就是说D答案实际上就是:twice as big as the figure for 1977.

仔细看了下, 的确应该是double + 名词/名词从句, 表示两倍关系, 这时double 与 twice 是可互换的,twice+名词 的情况比较常见,类比一下就可以理解了。
