Good news! The price of all those second-hand goods is ______ before.
A.30% as lower as
B.30% lower than
C.lower 30% than
D.as 30% low as
答案:B
题目分析:考查倍数表达法。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”。在这四种表达中,都要把倍数放在最前面。本句中的30%也是倍数,考查的是第1中方法。句意:好消息!所有这些二手商店的价格比以前低了百分之30.故B正确。
点评:倍数表达要牢记,倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点,也是历届高考的热点。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+形容词或副词比较级+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”
This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长(比那根绳子长一倍)。
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+倍数+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. 这条街是那条街的四倍长。
4. “……times+what+从句”。如:
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 现在的产量比十年前增加了两倍。
