The house rent is increasing sharply nowadays. I’ve got about half the space I had five years ago but I am paying _______ now.
A．as five times much
B．as much five times
C．much as five times
D．five times as much
答案
答案：D
考查倍数的用法。句意“现在，房租上涨很厉害。我住的地方是五年前的一半，但房租却是以前的五倍。”倍数与as...as连用时，倍数必须放在as...as的前面，排除A、B、C。故选D。
