Answer 1

这题考察了倍数的句型.
句义是“吸烟极度危害身体健康、每年因吸烟而死的人数是车祸的7倍.”
表示倍数的几种句型有：
1.…times as+形容词\副词原级+ as……如Nigeria is three times as big as Great Britain.(尼日利亚的面积是大不列颠的三倍.)
2 .times+ the+ 性质名词+ of.如 Nigeria is three times the size of Great Britain.
(尼日利亚的面积是大不列颠的三倍.)
3.times +形容词比较级+than...如 Nigeria is twice bigger than Great Britain,
(尼日利亚的面积是大不列颠的三倍.)
4 The +名词+be+.times + what从句 如 The output of this year is 3 times what it was in 2007.（今年的产量是2007年的三倍.）
5 The +名词+be+...times +that\those of...如 The output of this year is 3 times that of 2007.（今年的产量是2007年的三倍.）
重点掌握前三种用法,是考试中经常遇到的.你提供的这道题就和第三种情况是一致的,
