OG12-14.

Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong
electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on
the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on
the Sun’s poles or equator.

(A) are visible as dark spots on the surface of the
Sun but have never been sighted on
(B) are visible as dark spots that never have been
sighted on the surface of the Sun
(C) appear on the surface of the Sun as dark spots
although never sighted at
(D) appear as dark spots on the surface of the Sun,
although never having been sighted at
(E) appear as dark spots on the Sun’s surface,
which have never been sighted on

答案A。
对于C和D答案OG给的解释是
C Although typically introduces a subordinate
clause, which has a subject and a verb, but
here there is no subject and sighted is not a
complete verb.
D Although usually introduces a subordinate
clause, but there is no subject of the clause
and having been sighted is not a complete verb
phrase.

OG12分册18
Withonly 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

(A) With

(B)
(B) As

(C) Being

(D) Despite having

(E)Although accountingfor

想问一下Athough到底怎么用呢？OG12的解释说一定要接有主谓的句子，但是OG12分册这道题接的又是ing。
谢谢各位NN

In the dictionary, although is conj. ,and it introduces a subordinate
clause, which has a subject and a verb.

呃，我自己想的不知道对不对，although accounting 。。。。这个accounting是修饰后面的US citizen。把这个修饰的部分去掉，可以看出although还是在引导一个完整主谓结构啊。可以这样想吗？

不对啊..........句意明显就不是这个意思。
反正关于although这个问题只在论坛上看到过一个模棱两可的解释T-T：
C- Although typically introduces a subordinate clause
D- Although usually introduces a subordinate clause
其实OG没有否认although后存在句子省略的情况，但解释太略，很多话没说清。我一般重点看解释考点那段话。

................估计都可以吧........还是看句意吧，逻辑关系要让步的话就用although咯大概.....

牛津高阶：
NOTE ON USAGE 用法:
1 Although and (even) though can be used at the beginning of a sentence or a clause with a verb. *although和(even) though均可用於句首或从句之首, 与动词连用. Though is less formal *though较为通俗: Although/Though/Even though we all tried our best, we lost the game. 虽然我们已尽了最大的力量, 但还是输了. * We lost the game although/though/even though we tried our best. 我们输了, 然而我们已尽了最大的力量.
2 However can be used to give a similar meaning, but must begin a new sentence *however也可用以表达相同的意思, 但必须用於另起一句的句首: We all tried our best. However, we lost the game. 我们都已尽了最大的力量. 但我们还是输了.
3 Though and however can come at the end of a sentence *though和however可用於句尾: We all tried our best. We lost the game, though/however. 我们都已尽了最大的力量. 不过我们还是输了.
4 (Al)though (or more formal albeit) can come before an adjective, adverb or adverbial phrase *(al)though（更文雅的词是albeit）可用於形容词﹑ 副词或副词词组之前: Her appointment was a significant, (al)though/albeit temporary success. 她受聘虽说是临时性的, 但却是一大成功. * He performed the task well, (al)though/albeit slowly. 他把任务完成得很好, 只是有些慢.

难道是第4条的意思>_>........

●although省略的情况：although放于句首，主语与主句一致，后面是系动词be+形容词，则主语和系动词可以省略。如：Although young, he plays basketball well.

但比如这道题Although accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

account for应该不是系动词吧没省略...又不符合上面那个省略条件了...........

所以although省略的情况实在很乱糟糟没有定论，还不如从逻辑语义上考虑OG那道题吧：

C、D选项Although从句省略一般感觉although引导的内容不是句子主要意思，而且多作为插入语或句首。但本题原句的逻辑层次表达后半句内容是和前半句同等地位的，即就算用although，although后的内容也是句子主要内容，所以逻辑含义上也不能省略。

个人见解。
