问题 Which of the following italicized phrases is CORRECT?
选项 A、The chief reason for the population growth is not so much a rise in birth rates as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
B、The chief reason for the population growth is so much not a rise in birth rates as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
C、The chief reason for the population growth is so much a rise in birth rates not as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
D、The chief reason for the population growth is a rise in birth rates not so much as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
答案A
解析 比较级题。比较级的特殊句型not so much…as．．．意为“与其说……不如说……”，在这种句型中，前后比较的对象要一致，结构要对等，此题中的比较对象为：a rise in birth rates和a fall in death rates。句意为：造成人口增长的主要原因，与其说是出生率的增长，不如说是因为医疗进步而导致的死亡率下降。因此，[A]为答案。
