【详解】考查倍数表达。A项中so big as...只用于否定句中,应是as big as...,其余各项都是正确结构。故选A。
【点睛】1. 表示"几倍大小(长短;数量)",由"倍数+ the size(length,amount...)"结构组成。
例如:The earth is forty-nine times the size of the moon. 地球是月亮的49倍大。
2. 表示"......比......大几倍",由"倍数+形容词(副词)比较级"结构组成。
例如:This box is three times bigger than that one. 这个盒子比那个盒子大三倍。
The grain output is 8 percent higher this year than that of last year. 今年比去年粮食产量增加8%。
3. 表示"......是......倍",由"倍数+ as +形容词+ as +"结构组成。
例如:Our factory is twice as big as theirs. 我们的工厂是他们的两倍。
I have three times as many as you. 我有你三倍那么多。
[注]一倍用once,两倍用 twice。
4. 还可以用by+倍数,表示增加多少倍。
The production of grain has been increased by four times this year. 今年粮食产量增加了4倍。
14.I don't think he is right, ______?
A. is he B. isn't he
C. do I D. don't he
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查反意疑问句。句意:我认为他不对,是吗?因为句中的I don't think是一个否定前移句,句中的否定词not本应该是he is right的否定,本句应该为 I think he is not right,I think是一个插入语,可以省略。故本句是he is not right,其反意疑问形式为is he。故A正确。
15.I try to make him understand that I'm not interested in him, but he never gets the ____.
A. information B. message
C. word D. news
【答案】B
