典型例題
1）the weather in china is different from____.
a. in america b. one in america c. america d. that in america
答案：d。本題意為“中國的天氣與美國的不同。”比較的是天氣而不是國家，c不能選。a沒有名詞，後句成分不全，排除。b和d中，b中的one常用來代替可數名詞，而that可以代替不可數或抽象名詞，所以選d。
2）after the new technique was introduced, the factory produced ___ tractors in 1988 as the year before.
a. as twice manyb. as many twicec. twice as many d. twice many as
答案c。此句意為“引進新技術以後，這個廠1988年生產的拖拉機是往年的兩倍”。表示倍數用“倍數+ as + 形容詞原形+ as +比較對象”的句型。所以此句答案為c。
this ruler is three times as long as that one.
