核心问题
If tap water were as dangerous as some people think, ____ would be getting sick.
A. a lot of more us B. more a lot of us
C. a lot of us more D. a lot more of us(全国四级,98.1-41)
答案为 D。《大学英语四六级考试全真试题集详解》(航空工业出版社, p. 89) 对答案的解答是: “more 用来限定 lot, 应放在 lot 后……”
请问上句中的 more 是限定 lot 吗?
词典解答
应当明确,a lot 是起副词作用的短语,而不是名词,因此,它不可能用其他词来限定。a lot 在这里是比较级 more 的修饰语(more of us 是 many of us 的比较级,more 是代词),见上条。
[试题句意]如果自来水真像某些人所想象的那样危险的话,那么我们就会有更多的人患病了。
