A recent medical study indicates that people who don't get enough sleep are ____likely to die of heart disease as those who get enough sleep
A more than twice as
B twice as more than
C twice more than as
D as more than twice

答案是A的为什么

Answer 1

这个句子看起来复杂，其实原理很简单。咱们先来给简单的句子看一下。

他和我一样有钱：He is as rich as me
他比我有钱两倍：He is twice as rich as me
上面这两个简单的句子，意思是，表示倍数的单词，放在as的前面。
上面说了 是……的两倍 的表达为： twice as ……as……
那如果表达 是……的两倍以上 为： more than twice as……as……
他比我有钱两倍还要多：He is more than twice as rich as me。
明白了这种比较级的先后顺序，再看原题就简单了。
原句也可以这样一步步增加倍数如下：
people are likely to die
people are as likely to die as those
people are twice as likely to die as those
people are more than twice as likely to die as those。
我只写了句子的主干，希望能帮到你。

谢谢

Answer 2

简单来说，倍数表达法里有一种是用：倍数+as...as...（和...一样）结构的，这里的more than是多于的意思，more than twice就是多于两倍，第二个twice在those的前面。这句话的意思是：最近有一份医学研究表明睡眠不足的人死于心脏病的几率是睡眠充足的人的两倍多。

Answer 3

2倍以上的可能
