单选题
It is reported that the United States uses ______ energy as the whole of Europe. A. as twice B. twice much C. twice much as D. twice as much
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】句意为“据报道，美国使用的能源相当于整个欧洲使用能源的两倍。”本句考查倍数用法。“as much + sth．+as…”表示“与……一样”。该短语与倍数连用，表示“……是……的几倍”。此种用法反复考到，需要重点进行记忆。比如“His money is twice as much as mine．”表示“他的钱是我的钱的两倍。”
