Question

【题目】The average income of the Changzhou, though still well below that of Suzhou, has been on the increase and is three times ________it was in 2001.

A. that B. which C. what D. How

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查倍数比较的表达。句意：常州的人均收入虽然仍低于苏州，但是一直在增长，现在是2001年的三倍。我们先分析句子，句中是The average income of the Changzhou，that of Suzhou 以及________it was in 2001的三者比较。从句意我们知道that of Suzhou “that”指的是收入，同理推出“________it was in 2001”中“________it was”这一部分肯定也是指收入的英文表达，所以空格中只能选what引导的名词性从句。例如：The college is twice what it was 5 years ago. 这所大学是它五年前的两倍大。故选C。
