OG 11th 85 V.S. PP3真題一道

[yvetteliao]

OG 11th 85
85.Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strain townships point out that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.
(A) dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads
(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do.
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads
(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as for paved roads

此題由於as much as 之前的 dirt roads cost 與 之後的paved roads do平衡，因此B為對。

PP3 47
47. So-called green taxes, which exact a price for the use of polluting or nonrenewable fuels, are having a positive effect on the environmental and natural resource base of countries as varied as China, the Netherlands, and Hungary.
A as varied as
B as varied as are
C as varied as those of
D that are as varied as
E that are varied as are

此題由於as varied as 之前的 countries與 之後的china, the Netherlands, and Hungary平衡，因此A為對。

想請教大家的問題如下：
1.兩題的第二個as的詞性是否相同？
因為按照答案，OG85後接主詞與動詞，應為連接詞。
PP47後接N，應不為連接詞，則在此處詞性為何？
2.PP47的as具亦是否可以為舉例？
因為按文法，句意為舉例，則as之後才可接名詞。

會提出這個問題，主要因為現在對as...as...之後要接S+V或N會產生困惑，請各位幫忙解惑，謝謝囉。

推 跟您有一樣的疑問
不過第二個as varied as 我問過大牛
他說這邊有點像是舉例的感覺 像是 such as的那種味道
但是也有as varied as是表比較的 所以要注意 (不過我還真是無從注意起 )
再補充一題也有as的
Although the turtle has been toothless for more than 150 million years, in some contemporary turtle species the moderately sharp and jagged edges of their horny jaws function for teeth

(A) their horny jaws function for teeth
(B) its horny jaws function for teeth
(C) its horny jaws function as do teeth
(D) the horny jaws function as teeth do
(E) the horny jaws function as teeth

答案 E

兩題的第二個 as 都是當連接詞. OG85 的 as 平衡兩個句子(主詞比較); PP47 的 as 平衡兩個名詞(受詞比較).
