首先，我觉得LZM的规则：“在谓语内容一致，比较两个主语的时候，在THAN之后，我们要尽量补出谓语动词，其原则是（1）…（补出）do, does, did, is, was, were或are；（2）….在THAN之后保留此助动词（情态动词）”(P153)是不对的。 应该是：“如果不会产生歧义或引起误解，就不要补出谓语动词，否则就是累赘；如果会产生歧义，则一定不能省。” OG CR171 Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not. 例中，之所以要补出are，是因为THAN前面是一个完整的句子，THAN紧跟句子的宾语speed limit。如果不补出drivers 的谓语动词，会造成drivers 与speed limit比较的误会（语法上，逻辑上当然不会）。
下面的这个句子(OG-224)是出于同样的原则补出了Aleuts or Inuits的谓语动词were。否则让人产生Aleuts or Inuits与Europeans比较的误会（语法、逻辑上都会）。这里必须补，不是尽量补！ 224. Inuits of the Bering Sea were in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska. (A) in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than (B) isolated from contact with Europeans longer than (C) in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than were (D) isolated from contact with Europeans longer than were (E) in isolation and without contacts with Europeans longer than D, the best choice
下面的例子(OG-5)之所以不补出any of their supposedly Mediterranean predecessors的谓语动词，是因为不补出是不会引起任何歧义的。相反，补出是累赘的。当然，这一点同样适用于真题4。 5. Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors. (A) as old as any of their supposed (B) older than any of their supposed (C) as old as their supposed (D) older than any of their supposedly (E) as old as their supposedly B, the best choice
不补的例子还有OG-46。这个句子之所以不补出，而且THAN的前面虽然有宾语，但是双重动宾结构。从语法上、逻辑上都不会产生those raised in confinement与weight或medication相比较的嫌疑。当然，就这个例子来说，如果补出，并不算多余。这才是补与不补均可的情况吧。 46. A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement. (A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do (B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than (C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do (D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do (E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than Choice E, the best answer
下面两题相似但一题补出了助动词，一题没补。 ETS，我真想飞踹你！！！（别怪我不够淑女，真是忍无可忍——） OG CR171 Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not. 例中，之所以要补出are，是因为THAN前面是一个完整的句子，THAN紧跟句子的宾语speed limit。如果不补出drivers 的谓语动词，会造成drivers 与speed limit比较的误会（语法上，逻辑上当然不会）。 27.Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel. (A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel (B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do (C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel (D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel (E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel the best answer:E
