七、考查as…as結(jié)構(gòu)的用法及修飾語(yǔ)的位置

1. It is reported that the United States uses _________ energy as the whole of Europe. (廣西卷)

A. as twice             B. twice much         C. twice much as       D. twice as much

【解析】答案選D。由energy后的as可知，此題是考查as…as…結(jié)構(gòu)。根據(jù)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法習(xí)慣，修飾as…as…結(jié)構(gòu)的副詞只能置于as…as…結(jié)構(gòu)之前，不能置于其中。又如：She went out with a man twice as old as her. 她和一個(gè)年齡比她大一倍的男子來(lái)往。It cost three times as much as I had expected. 它花的錢比我預(yù)期的多兩倍。

2. He speaks English indeed, but of course not _________a native speaker. (上海卷)

A. as fluent as        B. more fluent than     C. so fluently as       D. much fluently than

【解析】答案選C。因?yàn)樾揎梽?dòng)詞speaks要用副詞，排除A和B；又因?yàn)?/FONT>than只能用于比較級(jí)后而不能位于原級(jí)后，排除D。句意是：他的英語(yǔ)講得的確不錯(cuò)，不過(guò)，當(dāng)然不如英語(yǔ)本族人講得流利。
