思路小朋友

我有点偏向选A， 但是因为时态对称又不得不选E  镇纠结

这个是比较的省略题  谁能够把省略的内容补出来啊 我补不出来 呵呵
还有谁能解释下 in far greater numebers than 和 in numebers far greater than 有啥区别阿
至于时态 我认为  see 的动作 应该在 train 之后 所以 一般过去时用在 see 身上不对吧

省略方面 我印象最深的是 be 必须省略 这个 have 在这里可不可以省略?

高手回答下以上问题阿
我觉得这个题目很典型阿  GMAT的两个难点考点 不就是 省略 和  比较 么?

个人觉得这道题目应该选择C选项。
首先分析一下句子结构，这个句子有一个平行结构，Scientists have trained their telescopes on Arp.229, a pair of merging galaxies, and saw stars exploding in numebers far greater than expected.
而且包含一个More than（greater than)的比较结构，比较对象是star numbers exploding and star numbers the scientist expected. 而形容词Far用于形容greater than （远远超出）。所以修饰的位置应该是：far greater numbers than...

而后该比较结构包含一个省略。far greater numbers than expected其实应该是far greater numbers than numbers the scientists expected. 省略了主语。
若是分句中省略主语，这时可将as／than看作比较分句的主语。

具体可以参照http://forum..org/viewthread.php?tid=192242

这个帖子中有具体的讲解。

至于时态是have seen 还是saw从语法角度来说，这两种时态在这里应该都是可以的。但是含义不同而已。

如有不对之处，望指正。谢谢。
