试题出自试卷《2015年西南科技大学考博英语真题》

问题1选项
A.twice as much as
B.twice as many as
C.twice more as
D.twice as more as

A

考查倍数的表达。1.倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+其它。这种结构又常演变成下列两类：①倍数+as+ many+可数名词复数+as；②倍数+as+much+不可数名词+as。如:There are seven times as many people as I expected.（是我预料的人数的七倍。），There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one.（这个杯子里的咖啡是那个杯子里的五倍。），这个句子前半句说马特赚得比他哥哥多，肯定是钱money赚得多，而money是不可数，所以不能用many，排除B选项。没有C，D选项的用法。句意：去年马特比他哥哥赚得多两倍，而他哥哥的职位比他高。综上所述，本题的正确答案是A选项。
