标题: Season 2——manhattan 33 （已点评）
Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had
B Though he has had
C Even though he had
D Having had
E Having achieved

选项解析：The original sentence is correct. Although had had seems to be awkward, it is the required phrase to make the sentence clear.
Choice A: Correct Answer.
As we may see in Choice B and C, the first verb though (or even though) is required, if we want this sentence to make sense. There is an intended transition in meaning in the sentence. If we omit though, as Choice D and E demonstrates, we also omit such transition, therefore distorting the meaning of the sentence.
For the first part of the sentence (though he had had success broadcasting…), the first had is part of the components of past perfect tense, and the second had is the verb. Just as had gone, had won, etc, here had had together makes a complete past perfect tense, so it is not an awkward expression.
Choice B: has had is not the right tense. The meaning of the sentence is that originally Howard broadcasted controversial programs, but then he opted to terrestrial broadcasting. As a result, we need a past perfect tense to indicate the sequence, not the present perfect tense.
Choice C: The tense is wrong. Compared to A, Choice C only has one had. Since the first part of the sentence must consist a working verb, the had in choice C is the working verb, thus making the tense simple past tense. But because we need past perfect to classify the sequence of the verbs, simple past is not the right tense here.
Choice D: Omitting though distorts the meaning of the sentence.
Choice E: Omitting though distorts the meaning of the sentence.

题目点评：
本题涉及考点：时态，逻辑意思
这道题乍一看还是比较纠结的，尤其连续出现了两个had，迫使同学们对A产生了一定的抵触心理。此题有一个极大的意义，那就是它告诉我们：GMAT中并不存在任何特定喜欢的表达或定理，而我们要关注的就是怎样在表意最清晰的基础上选择出语法和逻辑上都没有问题的选项。
具体看题目，首先再次强调的一点是对句子逻辑意思的把握。DE和ABC最大的不同在于DE中没有出现转折词，但是通过读句子发现，两个分句并非顺承关系，而是转折关系，所以单凭这一点就可以排除DE。
对于ABC，不妨把第二个had换成experience或win这样的词。这样的话，很明显可以看出A选项是过去完成时；B选项是现在完成时；C选项是一般过去时。再通过对句意的把握，以及对时态的要求，我们便可选择出答案A。

思路点评：
肿么越到后面分歧越大了呢~呃~选A啊这道题。
1. 三楼 hhou: 时态，Opt的过去，并且一直在进行，所以应该用过去完成时
Comment：这个想法是错的嗷。过去完成时在这道题里就是为了表述【之前一件事】，【之后另一件事】。是为了强调出两件事有时间上的先后顺序，而不是说先前那件事一直进行着。。

2. 六楼 may24 even though 【即使】他已经怎样表假设改变原意
Comment: 事实是even though也是【尽管】的意思。。

3. 7楼 innerwarrior
Comment：问题1 在于DE没有转折词本身就已经改变了句子意思，所以DE本身就是错的哇~怎么能说他们俩符合原意呢。
问题2 had success和achieved success是一样的~不存在谁优谁差的问题。这个不是固定搭配，所以不应该成为决定你考虑选项正误的绝对因素点。
问题3 success in doing是固定搭配，然后这个in是可以省掉的，就变成了这道题的样子。那个on我感觉更是介宾短语修饰【broadcast那一串的】的，表达是在哪里播放program

精华楼层很难选... 2楼 majestywhite 上榜~
其余童鞋，我去看看你们Q34的表现吧~哇咔咔

Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had
B Though he has had
C Even though he had
D Having had
E Having achieved

主句用过去时，从句意上主句的动作发生在从句的动作之后吧。
从句就用过去完成时。
顺利排除BCDE。
选A

选A
时态，Opt的过去，并且一直在进行，所以应该用过去完成时

作者: Jimmyzhang2012 时间: 2011-10-20 13:46
选A Though he had had
过去完成时体现事件发生的先后顺序

作者: clover033 时间: 2011-10-20 14:03
Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had
B Though he has had
C Even though he had
D Having had
E Having achieved

选C。
时态。have success broadcasting这个动作是发生在opted这个过去的动作之前，故应该用过去时态，但是A使用了过去完成时态，注意到后面radio program是个单数，故应该不是在他弃用regulated terrestrial airwaves之前的一段时间都在播出节目，如果是持续动作则应该是programs，所以应该之前的节目播出只是一次性的动作，用一般过去时即可。所以排除了A；B选项用has，时态错误，同样排除；
D,E，个人认为去掉了though, even though改变了原句的转折的含义，不正确。

作者: may24 时间: 2011-10-20 16:32
A正确。have success broadcasting这个动作在opted之前，应该用过去完成时；根据语意前后有转折，用THOUGH符合语意。
B 时态不对
C even though 即使他已经怎样表假设改变原意
D,E去掉THOUGH无转折意味不合原意，且HAVING HAD, HAVING ACHIEVED用ING形式做状语修饰 HOWARD OPTED xxx逻辑不通

Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had
B Though he has had
C Even though he had
D Having had
E Having achieved
选E。
一开始蛮确定的，后来越看越不确定。。。
译文：尽管他已经获得了成功（关于广播他那具有争论的电台。。。），HS选择离开当地的广播，去用那规章制度少的卫星广播。
按翻译的意思，应该只有E，have success没有achieve success好
我觉得success 很tricky，感觉应该是名词，和后面on联用。broadcasting 做分词修饰success

针对AB的话，问下版主，单纯考虑时态的话，如果后半句是过去式，前面不允许是现在完成时的对吧？
谢谢啦

作者: 庭草绿 时间: 2011-10-20 22:27
选A
根据句意，应该是“虽然HS已经成功”，opted过去式，则从句应该是过去的过去。

我的理解是 on是跟在program后面的，表示program的内容

C
句意里有转折的意味，though/even though
时态选择了过去一般叙述，等具体的解释。。。

Though he had had
success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had
have success broadcasting 与 his... 中间应该有个介词
B Though he has had
has时态错
C Even though he had
对
D Having had
同A；另外having意味不明；缺少though后，扭曲语意。
E Having achieved
缺少though后，扭曲语意。

错点：
没有理解have可以做working verb，而是一直把“broadcasting”当作verb（知道分词不能做谓语，不过以为这里是进行时，以为ok）
have做verb的含义：vt. 有；让；拿；从事；允许

Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had?R.have success ,had 表过去的过去，时间对比.
B Though he has had?主句过去时，从句现在时不好，而且通过句意判断应该是success在前，opt在后.
C Even though he had?过去时不能表现出时间的对比.
D Having had ?缺少让步的语气，变成伴随，错
E Having achieved—>缺少让步的语气，错

Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium.
A Though he had had have success is awkward
B Though he has had 时态不对
C Even though he had 直接+success不对
D Having had 同C
E Having achieved bingo选E
在A和E中间犹豫后来觉得没有转折的意思。。。看来是没读懂题意！
