This computer looks very similar to that one, but the salesman charged me almost_______ for it.
A.as many twice
B.twice as many
C.twice as much
D.as much twice
答案:C
题目分析:考查倍数表达法。根据句意是指售货员向我的要价,是指金钱方面的话题,故使用much,排除AB项;倍数表达的时候要把倍数放在as…as…的前面;句意:这个电脑和那个电脑看起来是一样的,但是售货员的要价是那一个的两倍多。故C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+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”。如:
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。
