Question

It is reported that the United States uses _________ energy as the whole of Europe．

[　　]

A．

as twice

B．

twice much

C．

twice much as

D．

twice as much

Answer 1

答案：D
解析：

由后面的as可知为as…as结构，排除B项；如果表示“同样多的能源”应为as much energy as，在比较句型中，倍数作状语应置于第一个as或比较级的前面。注意倍数句型分为两种结构：主系表结构和主谓结构。在主系表结构中，系词后是“倍数词＋as＋adj．＋as”；在主谓(宾)结构中，是“倍数词＋as＋adv．＋as”或“倍数词＋as＋adj．＋noun＋as”。
