answer from OG

Choice A is faulty because an adverb such as "twice" cannot function as an object of the preposition "by". B distorts the sentence's meaning,stating that the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on more than two distinct occasions. D's passive verb "was...doubled" suggests without warrant that some unnamed agent increased the number of engineering degrees. The past perfect tense in E,"had...doubled", is inappropriate unless the increase in engineering degrees is specifically being viewed as having occurred further back in the past than some subsequent event. Choice C is best.

  • 工作学习 / English / 一道英文题,不懂,请教坛子里的大虾
    According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults,( like that of earlier generations.)
    a like that of earlier generations
    b as that for earlier generations
    c just as earlier generations did
    d as have earlier generations
    e as it was of earlier generations
    • e
      • 恩,我知道a不对,但是找不出理论说它错。你能给我个说法么?谢谢。
        • 找我讨个说法,只好让你失望了。:D
        • 我想在formal English中,like在这的用法是错的。比较应该用as , just as....
        • 对称呀. 主系表对称.
        • Agree with "Dundas 888". See contents
          "that" in A is too confusing and kinda misleading too. It's not clear if "that" refers to "the whole sentence" or "young adults" or "the goal". If you brief the sentence as: Owing a building is a goal of young adults, like that of earlier generation, you will have a better feeling.
    • 还有这一题,谢谢!
      The number of undergraduate degrees in engineering awarded by colleges and universities in the United States (increased by more than twice) from 1978 to 1985.
      a increased by more than twice
      b increased more than two times
      c more than doubled
      d was more than doubled
      e had more than doubled
      • C. Don't you have OG?

        • c 没有谓语啊 :(
          • "double" is the verb here.
      • 不是D就是E, 我选E吧.
      • i agree with Collapsar. Choose E. 1978 and 1985 are both past time, so PP should be used in here. I also checked with a few native language speaker. They all okayed E.
    • a) like在做如同讲时,是副词,所以这个从句没有谓语;b)见a;c)从句与前半句的主语不一致,前面说“理想是”,后面说“前辈选择”;d)前半句说的是“..own land is still a goal..”,后面怎么用have?;e)is对was正好
      • a) like在这里是介词。like做为连词时可以引导从句,但得紧紧地跟主句连在一起。这里有个逗号,所以是介词。我的分析见#1458656;b)#1458656;
        c)同意;d)单看这个句子,做为一个倒装句,have用在这里没错。我认为你对c)的解释也就是对d)的解释。e)用was是因为主语是earlier generation, 而不是因为主句是is,从句自然就对was. 如果把earlier generation换成generation in China, 那还得是is.
    • 为什么不是a? 说法见内:
      (a)看似正确,但考的语法点是名词的双重属格,即 N (名词)+ of + N's,如:A friend of Gary's,所以正确的说法应为:like that of earlier generations',少了一小撇,意思可是不一样的哦.

      (b) 介词for用错了。仍然是名词的双重属格,介词必须是of。

      (c) ,(d)显然就是错的嘛。:-)
      • 厉害! 专业人士确实还是不一样哦!
      • 那为什么题目不写: a goal of young adults' 而是 a goal of young adult
