单选题
The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as ______ its soils and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans. A. are B. is C. do D. has
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题中as much…as是一固定结构,意思是“和……一样,正如……”。后一个as引出的是一个主谓倒装的比较从句,根据主句的结构,比较从句中的谓语应为连系动词be,从句中的主语是soils and water,谓语要用复数形式,所以,A为正确答案。该题译文:“大气是地球的一部分,同样,土壤及湖泊、河流和海洋中的水也是地球的一部分。”又如: Small as it is,the ant is as much as a creature as are all other animals on the earth. 不管怎么小,蚂蚁和地球上所有别的动物一样,是一种生物。
