(E) company's earnings in the first quarter were more thandouble those of
选E,错选D,为何D中的后面不能省略?,最初主要考虑E中的those of和前面的earnings in xxx quater不平行,但后面想想,E都给你补充上了,为啥不选。。
8.(88)Because Miranda, the smallest moon ofUranus, has a large number of different surface features, including craters,mountains, valleys, and fractures, some astronomers suggest that at one time repeated impacts broke the surface apart, and after which thefragments were subsequently rejoined because of mutual gravitational attraction.
