Question

I think this bike is a little better than that one, but the shopkeeper charged me almost_______ for it.

1. A.
   as many twice
2. B.
   twice as many
3. C.
   twice as much
4. D.
   as much twice

Answer 1

C
试题分析：考查倍数表达法。首先本句中是对自行车的价格进行说明的，故使用much进行修饰；倍数表达法有4种，都需要把倍数放在最前面。句意：我认为这种自行车比那种好一点点。但是销售员向我的要价是那一种的2倍。本题考查的是twice as much as that one。故C正确。
考点：考查倍数表达法
点评：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。
