59. In 1978 only half the women granted child support by a court received the amount awarded; at least as much as a million and more others had not any support agreements whatsoever.

(A) at least as much as a million and more others had not any

(B) at least as much as more than a million others had no

(C) more than a million others had not any

(D) more than a million others had no

(E) there was at least a million or more others without any(主谓不一致,was错,而且这个表达也不爽)

D, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and concise. Both A and B incorrectly use much rather than many to describe the countable noun others; much should be used with uncountable nouns such as "joy" and "labor." Even if this error were corrected, though, A and B would still be wrong. Because man than x necessarily includes the sense of at least as many as x. it is redundant and confusing to use elements of both expres­sions to refer to the same number of women.

OG的解释跟我的理解刚好相反,我觉得AT LEAST 包括 MORE THAN 哪!!

我同意楼主的看法。

我的理解跟你一样,有可能是ETS在这里表述有问题。可能的话你可以向ETS写信质疑。不过感觉more than有时意思不仅是多于,大于,也有=,如表倍数时(这时以前有网友提及的)。
