試題分析：倍數(shù)表達要牢記，倍數(shù)表達法是高中英語教學的重點，也是歷屆高考的熱點。當我們要表達甲是乙的幾倍時，通常用句型來表示：
1. “A+倍數(shù)+形容詞或副詞比較級+than+B”，表示“A比B大（長、高、寬等）多少倍”
This rope is twice longer than that one. 這根繩子是那根繩子的兩倍長（比那根繩子長一倍）。
2.“A+倍數(shù)+as+形容詞或副詞的原級+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如：
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亞洲的面積是歐洲的四倍。
3. “A+倍數(shù)+the size/height/length/width， etc+of+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如：
This street is four times the length of that one. 這條街是那條街的四倍長。
4. “……times+what+從句”。如：
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 現(xiàn)在的產(chǎn)量比十年前增加了兩倍。
本題考察了第2種結(jié)構(gòu)“A+倍數(shù)+as+形容詞或副詞的原級+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”，后面省略了as B。故D正確。
