Much to his surprise,he invited only twenty friends to the dinner,but____ came.
A.twice as many as
B.as many as twice
C.twice as many
D.twice more than
答案:C
题目分析:考查倍数表达。倍数表达有四种:1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”, 2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”, 3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”, 4. “……times+what从句”。以上的4种情况中,倍数都要放在最前面,故B错误;more than是修饰twice的,要放在twice的前面。故D项错误。本题中提及的是名词friends,故使用many修饰。A项的第二个as是多余的。故C正确。
点评:倍数表达是高考常考内容,倍数表达要牢记,倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点,当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时,通常用句型来表示:1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”。如:This rope is twice longer than that one. 2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。3“A++the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:This street is four times the length of that one.4.“……times+what+从句”。如The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.
