(C) California's annual per capita consumption of cigarettes declined from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as the drop
(D) California has seen per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as that
(E) California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as that
(A) per capita consumption of cigarettes作為initiating的邏輯主語,不符合邏輯; a drop more than twice as great as in the nation比較雙方不對等,應該改為that in the nation, that代替a drop,構成對等的比較
(B) annual per capita consumption of cigarettes作為initiating的邏輯主語,不符合邏輯; more than twice as great as that不符合同位語構成方式,應該補上a drop對前面的現象進行概括
(C) California's annual per capita consumption作為initiating的邏輯主語,不符合邏輯; more than結構不符合同位語構成
(D) 正確, California作為initiating的邏輯主語,符合邏輯; a drop…結構符合同位語構成; that代替a drop使得比較雙方對等
(E) more than 結構不符合同位語構成; per capita 和 per person 重復; 改變了原意“人均吸煙量每年下降……”，而 E 是“年人均吸煙量下降……”
16. Recent breakthroughs in technology have made it possible that high-definition digital video cameras are able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to 35-millimeter film and to project it digitally in theaters with no resulting loss of image quality.
(A) it possible that high-definition digital video cameras are able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to
(B) it possible to have high-definition digital video cameras that can capture material at a degree of fidelity almost like that with
(C) it possible for high-definition digital video cameras to capture material with a degree of fidelity nearly comparable to that of
(D) possible high-definition digital video cameras that can capture material at a degree of fidelity almost like
(E) possible high-definition digital video cameras able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to that with
1) 比較-比較對象對等，compare, like等詞連接比較相同對象時，要由that或those指代，否則會使比較對象不對等。
2) 句子結構-it作形式賓語，注意形式賓語的格式及用法，及物動詞+it+賓語補語+不定式，動詞有find, deem, make等。
3) 邏輯表達-維持原句強調重心，注意原句使用形式賓語所強調的內容，在本句中make possible的是cameras to capture material而不是have cameras，不能改變原句的合理重心。
4) 簡潔有效，形容詞作定語比that引導的定語從句更簡潔。
(A) compare to的比較對象成為fidelity與35-millimeter film，不對等。
(B) 第一個that引導定語從句修飾cameras，改變原句強調重心;第二個that的位置不正確，應該置于almost like前面;介詞with應為of，即that(fidelity) of 35-millimeter film。
(C) 正確，it作形式賓語，真正的賓語是不定式結構to capture material with a degree of fidelity;cameras的fidelity與35-millimeter film的fidelity比較。

(D) 缺少形式賓語it;like的比較對象成為fidelity與35-millimeter film，不對等。
(E) 缺少形式賓語it;賓語從句謂語不完整，應為bable to do;that nearly compares to從句修飾fidelity不及形容詞comparable作定語簡潔。
17. According to a new report by the surgeon general, women with less than a high school education had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking as women who went to college.
(A) had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking
(B) had three times the likelihood of beginning smoking
(C) were three times more likely to begin to smoke
(D) were three times more likely that they would begin to smoke
(E) were three times as likely to begin smoking
比較-倍數，倍數比較的正確表達方式為：…times(或數字)+as+形容詞或副詞+as…，注意as…as…的固定搭配，more…as…是常見混淆選項。
(A) 比較結構不完整，未劃線部分的as后面跟的是名詞，所以as為介詞，完整的形式應該為as+形容詞…as…。
(B) 錯誤與A選項相同;likelihood后接that從句與likelihood of doing sth兩種表達方式都正確。
(C) 比較結構搭配錯誤，more likely to…應該跟than，而不是as。
(D) 錯誤與C選項相同。
(E) 正確，倍數+as+形容詞+as。
