原题是这样的:
A large rise in the number of housing starts in the coming year should boost new construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago).
(A) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(B) and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(C) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago
(D) to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(E) in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it as five years ago
Correct Answer :C

比较的对象是自己的现在的economic health 和自己五年前的economic health相比,合理的解释是 如果省略了it was 就成了直接和时间状语比较,比较对象不对称。

可是举个简单的例子:
You are more beautiful than five years ago.
You are more beautiful than you were five years ago.
似乎两个都对...

再看另外一题

In his eagerness to find a city worthy of Priam, the German archaeologist Schliemann cut through Troy and uncovered a civilization a thousand years older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew.
(A) older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew
(B) more ancient than the city known to Homer’s heroes
(C) older than was the city known to Homer’s heroes
(D) more ancient of a city than Homer’s heroes knew
(E) older of a city than was the one known to Homer’s heroes
Correct Answer: B

比较对象是 a civilization 和 the city known to Homer's heroes, 所以名词对名词 不用was

我觉得it was不能省略是因为,如果省略会造成比较对象不对等。
题目原意是拿the construction industry’s economic health 与the construction industry’s economic health 在五年前的情况进行对比。省略后,就会成了the construction industry’s economic health 与five years ago 比较,所以错误。

不知道这样理解对不对,请指教!
