Question

        is reported in the newspaper, children in the US today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.

A. It      B. As   C. That       D.What

Answer

B

【解析】

试题分析：考查固定搭配。只有As is reported……（没有that，有逗号），意为：正如报道或It is reported that，that引导主语从句，it只是形式主语。意为：据报道……。句意：正如报纸所报道的那样，今天美国孩子花的钱是他们父母小时候花的钱的五倍。故选B。

考点：考查固定搭配。
