Question

The little town has now grown into a modern big city, and is ______ what it used to be.

A．twice the size than	B．twice times the size as
C．twice the size as	D．twice the size of

Answer 1

D

这里是考查倍数的表达法，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”。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”。3，“A+倍数+the size/height/length/width， etc+of+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。这符合第二种形式。
