　　典型例题

　　1)The weather in China is different from____.

　　A. in America　 B. one in America　 C. America

　　D. that in America

　　答案：D。本题意为“中国的天气与美国的不同。”比较的是天气而不是国家，C不能选。A没有名词，后句成分不全，排除。B和D中，B中的one常用来代替可数名词，而that可以代替不可数或抽象名词，所以选D。

　　2)After the new technique was introduced, the factory produced ___ tractors² in 1988 as the year before.

　　A. as twice many　　B. as many twice　　C. twice as many　D. twice many as

　　答案C。此句意为“引进新技术以后，这个厂1988年生产的拖拉机是往年的两倍”。表示倍数用“倍数+ as + 形容词原形+ as +比较对象”的句型。所以此句答案为C。

　　This ruler is three times as long as that one.
