D
試題分析：句意：粗略估計，尼日利亞是大不列顛的三倍大。我們要表達甲是乙的幾倍時，通常用下面三個句型來表示： 1. “A+倍數+形容詞或副詞的比較級+than+B”，表示“A比B大（長、高、寬等）多少倍”。如： 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）。The car runs twice faster than that truck. 這輛小車的速度比那輛卡車快一倍（是那輛卡車的兩倍）。2.“A+倍數+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。The plane flew ten times as high as the kite. 那架飛機的飛行高度是那只風箏的十倍。3. “A+倍數+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。This hill is four times the height of that small one. 這座山的高度是那座小山的四倍，由題干可知選D正確。
考點: 考查形容詞倍數的用法。
