解析试题分析：倍数表达是高考常考内容，倍数表达要牢记，倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点，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+than+B”，表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”。如：This rope is twice longer than that one. 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++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.4.“……times+what+从句”。如The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.本题考察的是第1种结构。故C正确。
