A项比较结构错，要么是twice+名词，twice+as...as
B正确，比较对象women of color 与White women适合，比较结构twice+as...as正确
C比较对象错误，likelihood与 White women比较
D更不用说了，being多余
E比较结构错误，同A作者: rmbaos 时间: 2012-9-9 07:57
此处的advise应该作“告知”译， 一般后面接of，也可以是sb. that。个人觉得D选项不是因为being多余错误，而是因为advise sb of v+ing后面接一长串的表达不effective，of后面偏向接简单的名词或名词短语。作者: 阿趁心观 时间: 2012-9-11 03:00
