Question

Transit, a car made in Jiangxi Province, was sold nearly 50 000 units in 2012, with the total value ________ it was in 2008.

A．more than three times what

B．three more times than that

C．over three times than what

D．over three times of that

Answer

A

【解析】A 考察倍数表达法。句意：Transit，一款江西生产的小汽车，在2012年销售了5万辆，总价值是2008年的三倍多。空格后的it was是系表结构，介词than后面需要接宾语，that不做句子成分，排除BD项。Over相当于more than，意为超过，不能和than连用，排除C项。
