*V-ing 用法(By Ron@ManhattanPrep) this sort of modifier should actually satisfy TWO requirements: 1) it should apply most nearly to the subject ; and, even more importantly 2) it should have one of the following RELATIONSHIPS to that clause: a) immediate consequence b) simultaneous, but lower-priority, action (By Manhattan SC 5th, CPT 6 Modifier) The V-ing form is very flexible. I. It can modify nouns directly (e.g., the changing seasons). II. It can modify verbs and their subjects (e.g., I lifted the weight, whistling). III. It can even modify an entire clause as above, as long as the entire clause converted into a noun phrase could function as the subject ofthe verb that is now in V-ing form. This use of the V-ing form works best when you want to express the result of the main clause.
A项 doubling的做法，个人认为不是伴随，是直接结果
上面两个来源部分，我已经用蓝色部分标出，Ving表示前面整句结果的用法，这样的表达其实并不少见，例如OG15 #81.
此句的意思是：国内航线坐头等舱的人数量在1990年急剧增加，（这个事情的直接结果是）今年的增量是去年增量的两倍
