The house rent is increasing sharply nowadays. I’ve got about half the space I had five years ago but I am paying _______ now. A．as five times much B．as much five times C．much as five times D．five times as much

Answer 1

D

考查倍数的用法。句意“现在，房租上涨很厉害。我住的地方是五年前的一半，但房租却是以前的五倍。”倍数与as...as连用时，倍数必须放在as...as的前面，排除A、B、C。故选D。
