idiom: three times as much as
变体：up to three times as much as/more than three times as much as/ less than three times as much as

b选项应该是is时态错误，还有which指代是所有商店还是四分之一的商店不明确吧，应该不是which修饰句子的错误？

COMMA + ABSTRACT NOUN is allowed to stand for the ENTIRE IDEA OF THE PRECEDING CLAUSE.
COMMA + CONCRETE NOUN usually stands for the DIRECTLY PRECEDING NOUN.

B选项还有一个判断方法，就是相关因果必须要提到AB两件事或者给出一个能解释B的原因，然而B选项均不符合这样的特点

这道题 就是因果推理 因是-诚实会造成党派间的不妥协（例如提案通不过）言外之意就是 不诚实就会达成党派间的达成一致 ，果是 -因为这个原因 所以不诚实说明政府运作良好 问削弱 A 说 不诚实确是能达成党派间的妥协 但是你不能把这个妥协 上升到政府运作良好的高度 说的太大了 ！

本题考查类比削弱，选项E为“讲区别”。

伤心太平洋啊，我的正确率咋这么低啊，啊啊啊............

第二次做错 二选一 又卡了 ..... 取非

错选C 技术啊 技术 不一定用在这啊

笔记：women's [demonstrations] at rallies would influence men's voting behavior [X]
women's presence at rallies would enhance the moral standing of the party [confer sth on 授予给予，可以是这个意思】

be dated to be是错误的❌，只能用be dated to✅或be dated at✅
平行结构制造者and, Rock samples...have been...and thus are...

一个倒装，即，In no other historical sighting这个表否定的状语位于句首引起了整个句子的倒装。由此可知，(A)(B)(D)(E)中的对比对象均是不正确的，答案为(C)

A is a better poet than B✅the better poet than❌; X is the better poet;✅
A选项：只能用consider A B，而不能用consider A to be B；当consider意为“认为”时，只能用consider A to be B而不能用consider A B。
B选项：比较对象不对等。在逻辑上应该是Elizabeth Barrett Browning的“成功”被她丈夫的成功掩盖。
C选项：overshadowed的主语为Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry。但在逻辑上，被掩盖的应该是她的成功，而不是她的诗歌
E选项：比较对象有误。不能用Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry和her husband做比较

B选项：首先，with planets orbiting them是一个独立主格结构，其应改为修饰stars的定语从句。这是因为，独立主格是状语，修饰的是discover这个句子。在逻辑上，不能说“伴随着星星被环绕，科学家们发现了17颗星星”，而应该是“科学家发现了17颗被环绕的星星”。其次，最后的that were about the size of Jupiter是定语从句，最近的名词为them（stars），但在逻辑上，这个定语从句应该修饰的名词是planets。that were这里是过去时，容易被认为是这些行星“过去”和木星一样大，但现在可能不一样了，这是不合逻辑的。应该用一般现在时表示一个客观事实；

C选项：17 nearby stars的定语从句部分是过去时，容易被认为是这些星星过去被环绕，现在不一定了，这是不合逻辑的。
D选项：独立主格错误同(B)
E选项：注意谓语动词用的是完成时，也就是说，整句的意思是“科学家到现在为止发现了xxx”。显然地，可以说，科学家到现在为止发现了17颗星星（可能之前发现了16颗，最近又发现了一颗，所以是到现在为止有17颗了，所以应该用by 1999,过去完成时。

B选项：there is no 'be' in the second clause, and 'and' does not clearly indicate the connection between the two clauses.
C选项：'had been'和'was being' represent inappropriate tenses, and 'there had been' construction is longer than necessary;where引导的定语从句最近的名词是electricity，这会使得该定语从句的先行词变为electricity，在逻辑上不合理

D选项：'having lights' and 'there was 'construction are longer and unnecessary, this sentence makes 'there', instead of 'homes', the subject of 'having'; having lighting在本选项中可以做定语从句homes had electricity的伴随状语。在逻辑上，我们不能说“房子拥有光亮（home have lighting）“，只能说”房子里有光“。这是因为房子不能主动的拥有光亮
E选项：'had been' is not the appropriate tense for this situation;where引导的定语从句最近的名词electricity
