Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium. A Though he had had B Though he has had C Even though he had D Having had E Having achieved
选项解析:The original sentence is correct. Although had had seems to be awkward, it is the required phrase to make the sentence clear. Choice A: Correct Answer. As we may see in Choice B and C, the first verb though (or even though) is required, if we want this sentence to make sense. There is an intended transition in meaning in the sentence. If we omit though, as Choice D and E demonstrates, we also omit such transition, therefore distorting the meaning of the sentence. For the first part of the sentence (though he had had success broadcasting…), the first had is part of the components of past perfect tense, and the second had is the verb. Just as had gone, had won, etc, here had had together makes a complete past perfect tense, so it is not an awkward expression. Choice B: has had is not the right tense. The meaning of the sentence is that originally Howard broadcasted controversial programs, but then he opted to terrestrial broadcasting. As a result, we need a past perfect tense to indicate the sequence, not the present perfect tense. Choice C: The tense is wrong. Compared to A, Choice C only has one had. Since the first part of the sentence must consist a working verb, the had in choice C is the working verb, thus making the tense simple past tense. But because we need past perfect to classify the sequence of the verbs, simple past is not the right tense here. Choice D: Omitting though distorts the meaning of the sentence. Choice E: Omitting though distorts the meaning of the sentence.

选C。 时态。have success broadcasting这个动作是发生在opted这个过去的动作之前,故应该用过去时态,但是A使用了过去完成时态,注意到后面radio program是个单数,故应该不是在他弃用regulated terrestrial airwaves之前的一段时间都在播出节目,如果是持续动作则应该是programs,所以应该之前的节目播出只是一次性的动作,用一般过去时即可。所以排除了A;B选项用has,时态错误,同样排除; D,E,个人认为去掉了though, even though改变了原句的转折的含义,不正确。
A正确。have success broadcasting这个动作在opted之前,应该用过去完成时;根据语意前后有转折,用THOUGH符合语意。 B 时态不对 C even though 即使他已经怎样表假设改变原意 D,E去掉THOUGH无转折意味不合原意,且HAVING HAD, HAVING ACHIEVED用ING形式做状语修饰 HOWARD OPTED xxx逻辑不通
Though he had had success broadcasting his controversial radio program on highly regulated terrestrial airwaves, Howard Stern opted out of terrestrial broadcasting in favor of the less regulated satellite radio medium. A Though he had had B Though he has had C Even though he had D Having had E Having achieved 选E。 一开始蛮确定的,后来越看越不确定。。。 译文:尽管他已经获得了成功(关于广播他那具有争论的电台。。。),HS选择离开当地的广播,去用那规章制度少的卫星广播。 按翻译的意思,应该只有E,have success没有achieve success好 我觉得success 很tricky,感觉应该是名词,和后面on联用。broadcasting 做分词修饰success
