30． Freedman's survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.
（A） no happier than do people living
（B） not any happier than do people living
（C） not any happier than do people who live
（D） no happier than are people who are living
（E） not as happy as are people who live

答案是A。不明白的是，为什么than后面要多个do？这是个什么语法现象啊？

"do"是代consider.

Freedman's survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than consider people living in big cities.?

这是个什么结构啊？倒装？在对比的结构中倒装？是指小城市的人们认为他们不高兴的程度，高于在大城市的人们吗？

为什么不可以是：

Freedman's survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than people living in big cities.?

1. yes, 是倒裝, G中的comparison中常見.
2. 個人意見: 這一題不補do是okay....補or不補是看不補會不會create any confusion

For example:
John helps me more than Ken.
是John幫我多比Ken幫我多, 還是John幫我多比John幫Ken多?
如果是想說John幫我多比Ken幫我多, then you have to rewrite the sentence to:
John helps me more than does Ken. (or John help me more than Ken does.)

谢谢！明白了！我想如果这里不加consider就是违背原句原意了。
