A
【答案解析】本题考查倍数表达法。英语中表达倍数的方法有以下几种: a.主语+谓语+倍数(或分数)+as+形容词+as。 例如:I have ten times as many as you.(我有你十倍那么多。) b.主语+谓语+倍数(分数)+the size(amount,length…)of…。 例如:China is building a city three times the size of New York.(中国正在建设一个面积有纽约三倍大的城市。) c.主语+谓语+倍数(分数)+形容词(副词)比较级+than…。 例如:The grain output is 8 percent higher this year than that of last year. (今年比去年粮食产量增加8%。) d.还可以用by+倍数,表示增加多少倍。 例如:The production of grain has been increased by four times this year.(今年粮食产量增加了4倍。) 例如:The production of grain has been increased by four times this year.(今年粮食产量增加了4倍。) 本题正是第二种用法,故答案为[A]项。
