仍然对上面提到的三道问题不能理解，请牛人解答：

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 was five years ago
答案C

这题的原因应该跟上面提到的时态不一致同理吧

补充一下刚才关于主系表的：如果前后时态相同，可以省略系动词。

如果时态不同，则需要补出。如：

The economy of Florida is  more diversified than  it  was ten years ago.

Form24-15 (MingLiU","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">考古p.53#15)
The Parthenon is larger than usual for a Doric temple, with eight columns on the short sides and seventeen on the long ones rather than the typical six and thirteen.
A) usual
B) is usual
C) has been usual
D) one usually is
E) it is usual
答案是 (B)

这个题补足is清晰的表达了要比较的内容是Parthenon跟其他for a Doric的temple。如果不补足is，读起来有种感觉就是P自己变大了，larger than usual。

She is more pretty than usual for an office lady 体会这个歧义.

According to analysts, an alliance between three major personal computer companies and most of the nation’s largest local telephone companies would enable customers to receive Internet data over regular telephone lines with speeds much higher than is currently possible.
A. with speeds much higher than is
B. with speeds that are much higher than are
C.at much higher speeds as are
D.at much higher speeds than that
E. at speeds much higher than are
答案是E

我觉得这个题比较的是customer。

提到C.介宾短语的比较 ==》这种比较需要和宾语比较进行区分，一定要补出介词。其原因是介宾短语中的宾语和整句的宾语在句中成分不同，需要强调出是那些在比较，消除歧义。另一个是这个介宾短语不能是句子主语的修饰成分比较，如果是，则需要变换成主语比较形式。（下面的OG200 E选项）

200. Certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place: one reason is suggested by the finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals.

200. Certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place: one reason is suggested by the finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals.

E) The finding of much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in those that are free of such chemicals suggests one reason certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place. 

句中at speed也是做修饰成分。

所以两句比较的是customer的状态，补足be

确实将G里面大部分题目归纳了，但还是有许多特例的，或者说未完善的地方

刚考完GMAT，VABAL44，受惠于CD很久，也希望对后人能栽点树，我想就我对比较的认识写点东西。我把OG上所有的比较都总结了一下，发现ETS结比较是有家规的，看似花样百出，实际是有章可循的，看下题
OG19
请大家分析以下比较在ETS看的含义
Rice has protein of higher quality than wheta does.(主语比较，Rice 与wheat比）
意义：米有高质蛋白质，麦没有。
Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较，of higher 与 of lower比）
意义：米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质
Rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat(宾语比较，protein 与protein(that指代)比
Rice has protein of higher quality than sugur.（宾语比较，protein 与sugar比）
意义：米中的蛋白质比麦中蛋白质质量高
意义：米中的高质蛋白质比糖多。
Rice has protein of higher quality than usual/everbfore/1000 years ago/people expected(状语比较）
意义：米比通常/经往/多年前/人们预测/的蛋白质质量要高。
下面我们谈比较之庖丁解牛

对主谓宾全的句型
主语比较：  A do sth  than B do.（AB为对等名词，加do是为了显示这是一个可以发出动作的名词，因而确定是主语，进而确定是主语对比）
介宾比较 A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.（C1C2，D1D2对等名词）
宾语比较 A do C1 than C2.(C1C2为对等名词）
状语比较A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语）
ETS就这几下子，原则就是清楚地指示什么跟什么比。

按照这个原理，对下一种句型只有主谓，没有宾语的句子，因为没有宾语，只可能有主语比较，因而不需要重复do来确认这是一个可发出动作的主语，所以其比较形式如下：
I eat faster than you.注意与下句区别
I eat apple faster than you do如果写成 I eat apple faster than you 按ETS的理解，从语法上就变成我吃苹果比吃你快，成了宾语比较。逻辑上显然不通。

AS族的比较大同小异，as 可单独引导比较，也可以复合成as many as, as hard as 等形式，但ETS宗旨不变，如
Sand road costs twice as many to build as to manintain(类似于介宾比较）
Sand road costs twice as many to build as stone road do(主语比较,）
Sand road costs the govement twice as many to build as the residents.(宾语比较）

ETS考过AS比较的习惯用法（不受上述限制，如下）
AS poor as they are, they can ont afford a car.
They have 800million students, as many as have enrolled in our school.
(注意以上都是用逗号隔开的句子，AS在这里的作用更类似连词，连接一个主句和一个从句）

注意AS有时不表比较的如as you word hard, you will pass the exam.表原因了。

There be 句型等同于一般的主谓宾俱全的句型
OG89
There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as there were four years ago(主语比较)
There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American  four time as many as  DVD player(宾语比较)
There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as  for school teachers.(介宾比交)
There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as  in china(介宾比较)

以上的钢领代入EST的OG几乎都成立，在我这次实战中也成立，但GWD中有一题是例外的，也就是说并没有放之四海而皆准的真理，清楚，简洁，合理才是ETS的最高宗旨。

ETS考过AS比较的习惯用法（不受上述限制，如下）
AS poor as they are, they can ont afford a car.
They have 800million students, as many as have enrolled in our school.
(注意以上都是用逗号隔开的句子，AS在这里的作用更类似连词，连接一个主句和一个从句）

关于以上蓝色标注的这点，我不确定，OG10-177的解释里有这样一段话：

 In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs

说明as...as...作为连词，引导一个分句，应该和另一个分句是转折关系。

XYZLSH07

25.        (25704-!-item-!-188;#058&002607)

 

There is a widespread belief in the United States and Western Europe that young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents and that the source of the change lies in the collapse of the "work ethic."

 

(A) a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents

(B) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents

(C) a smaller commitment to work and a career than that of their parents and grandparents

(D) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents had

(E) a lessening of the commitment to work and a career that their parents and grandparents had

答案是选D，但是C为什么不对？不能看做是宾语比较吗？或者说C在如下情况下成立：

There is ... that commitment to work and a career of young people is smaller than that of their parents and grandparents?

Thanks.
