89. A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.
(A)there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were
(B)there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were
(C)there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were
(D)every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were
(E)every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as

答案为C,但是C中为什么用there were,而没有用there was呢?

那位帮忙回答?谢谢了!
答案肯定没错,但具体是什么原因,我不记得了。对不起了!

这道题的意思是说,现在的计算机比原来多了4倍,还是少了四倍?

若果说少了4倍,were正确,但不符合常理;
若果说多了4倍,应该用was才主谓一致,前后对等呀?

白勇的解释:
在不清楚单,复数的情况下,优先使用复数。

被你搞糊涂了79

我也被搞糊涂了,难道不是there be 句型由后面的名词决定吗?为什麽要优先使用复数呢?
(C)there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were
(D)every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were
我记得不选d 的原因还有就是one miocrocomputer,和后面的four times as many ....不搭配当然还有than...
不太明白!79你再讲讲吧。。。老白怎麽说的

当初老白怎么说的,记不完全了。
如果按他的意思,是不是说:  
  there is one pc for 2 students,four times as many as there were 2pc for 16
与there is one pc for 2 students,four times as many as there was  1pc for 8
均为可接受表达。

老白确实讲过:在无法选择单复数的时候,复数优先使用。
而且,我觉得这题的关键不在于此。
作者: gigi    时间: 2002-11-11 16:03

yiuan关键在哪里?我觉得79的解释也有道理呀!
作者: yiyuan05    时间: 2002-11-11 16:07

他的解释没错呀,我是在帮他证实老白讲的话。
关键在主谓一致。
GIGI MM,我抗议,你把我的名字打错了!!!!!

偶觉得前面用there is是由one microcomputer 决定的,
而后面用there were 是指现在有的机子总数是过去的四倍,而机子的总的数量显然
不只一台,
so,choice C is right

如果5个选项都用了there were, 就说明它不是错误点。就不必在这一点上死抠了。迅速去找其他的错误吧。ETS的题也不是十全十美的。
