It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper won high praise for its unrelenting reporting of the Watergate scandal.
It was only after Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and it was under her command that the paper won high praise
It was only after Katharine Graham's becoming publisher of The Washington Post in 1963 that it moved into the first rank of American newspapers, and under her command it had won high praise
Katharine Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1963, and only after that did it move into the first rank of American newspapers, having won high praise under her command
Moving into the first rank of American newspapers only after Katharine Graham became its publisher in 1963, The Washington Post, winning high praise under her command
Moving into the first rank of American newspapers only after Katharine Graham's becoming its publisher in 1963, The Washington Post won high praise under her command
两个新大陆：
1、it强调句型和it作形式主语的主语从句的区别：
强调句的结构 it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其余部分，其中it is/was和that/who不作任何指代且在结构上不起任何作用，个人判断方法是将这两部分去掉并不影响原句表达，例如 (it is) you (who) saved me；
而it作形式主语的主语从句则不一样，例：It is a pity that you missed the exciting football match。 这里it 作形式主语，指代that引导的主语从句，正序是that you missed the exciting football match is a pity，可以看到这里的it is + that不能直接移去，is是充当谓语的；所以A中是两个标准的强调句型并列，也就不存在it指代问题的混淆。
2、所有格代词可以指代 所有格名词 或 名词，但所有格名词不能由普通代词指代（即普通代词不能指代所有格里面的名词），有点绕，容我顺顺：E里面的her可以指代Katharine Graham's ，因为her有普通代词“她”及所有格代词“她的”两种含义，这里意思是“她的“，看后面+command便知；还有这里its是所有格代词，可以指单独的The Washington Post，但表达的意思是“华盛顿邮报的”。
但是……这种K G's becoming 拗口的所有格，下次不能再选它了

in any case, the main problem i see with choice (c) isn't a pronoun issue; rather, it's the participial modifier beginning with "having". if you write "...having won high praise under her command", the implication is that the paper had already won high praise by the time it moved into the highest echelon of american newspapers - an implication that is at odds with the intended meaning, and is absurd to boot (the watergate crisis was 10-11 years after the mentioned date of 1963).
（所以不要纠结C中it的指代问题）
--
there's really no pronoun issue with choice (a), because two of the "it"s are a special construction in which they don't really have single-word antecedents. for example if i write
it was surprising to me that you would say something like that,
this is proper english. if you want to get technical, you could say that the pronoun "it" stands for the entire noun clause "that you would say something like that", but it's easier just to think of this as a special construction.
in choice (a), "it was only after KG became..." and "it was under her command..." are both examples of this type of construction, so the remaining "it" is the only pronoun that really deserves serious consideration.
still, i agree with you that choice (a), while not strictly incorrect, suffers from sloppy writing.
E: KG's 后her 无法指代。 另重心偏移核心要强调KG的command而不是WP赢得high praise
所有格是可以指代Katharine Graham's中的Katharine Graham的。E的问题在于扭曲意思。
这里her指代还真不是个问题，此句her是所有格代词，意思是“她的”，代指Katharine Graham's

A 句子结构，it做形式主语引导了两个并列句，通过and连接。 第二个it只能指代华盛顿期刊，正确。correct
B 第一it 无指代，形式主语表强调，而and连接的后半句并没有用it进行强调。 平行结构错误。错 代词太多请小心
C having won high praise动作发出者应该是华盛顿期刊，having won修饰前面一句话。 错
D 缺少动词， fragment
E moving 开头接，表明moving的动作先发生，即在KG上任后华盛顿期刊先排行第一，再在她的指挥下得奖。
而原文的逻辑是表达 成为行业第一和得奖是并列的关系。 改变逻辑，绝对错误。
E "moving" and "becoming" indicate something that's going on right now - this should be in the past. And "after Katherine Graham's becoming its publisher" is horrible.
That leaves us with A (where the second "it" pronoun is fine, by the way, because both logically and structurally it refers to Wash Post).
B. her前面无指代
C. having won意思变成了先赢得赞誉，然后这使得其排到榜首，语意错误
D. 句子成分残缺
E. her前面无指代
B. had won时态错误
E. 语意变成了华盛顿邮报先moving，再won high praise，改变了语意，本应该是并列结构

A It was only after……that…… and it was …… that ……正好构成了有效并列
报纸因为对水门事件不留情面地报道而受到赞誉应该是本文段的重心，不应该被用作modifier，kill CD
KG被所有格化之后代词her失去指代对象，kill BE
B中，it moved into...的it指代Washington Post
E的错误在于改变了关系，并列变为因果
a. It was only after xxx that , and it was under xxx that , 完美平行
it强调句型和it作形式主语的主语从句的区别：
强调句的结构 it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其余部分，其中it is/was和that/who不作任何指代且在结构上不起任何作用，个人判断方法是将这两部分去掉并不影响原句表达，例如 (it is) you (who) saved me；
而it作形式主语的主语从句则不一样，例：It is a pity that you missed the exciting football match。 这里it 作形式主语，指代that引导的主语从句，正序是that you missed the exciting football match is a pity，可以看到这里的it is + that不能直接移去，is是充当谓语的
所以A中是两个标准的强调句型并列，也就不存在it指代问题的混淆。
E中Katharine Graham's becoming拗口不应该选
B、it had won high praise中“it”指代不清；her不能修饰所有格名词
C、having won的修饰对象应该是TWP，但相隔太远，不可能是；且未划线的its没法解释
D、句子成分残缺segment
E、her不能修饰所有格名词
D最先排除，没有谓语。
整个题目的逻辑关系是：在KG之后，邮报才位列第一；在位列第一之后，又在KG的引领下对水门事件的持续报道，使得邮报获得赞誉。KG became publisher--> moved into the first rank --> under her command... unrelenting reporting --> won high praise是有时间顺序的。 所以C和E里边将won praise和move into变成状语，对其他动作进行修饰，都是不合逻辑的。B里边的had won时态就不合理了。
最后A是强调句型。
AB主要在于看强调句型，看21套中第6套的讲解
平行关系it was ... that ... and it was ... that ...错选B，时态错误，won praise应该发生在后面，不能用had done。B uses past perfect incorrectly (simple past for "it was only after" and past perfect for "it had won high praise" which comes later chronologically than when KG became publisher)
B. 没有过去式做参照，had done不成立
C. 原句要表达的是这个paper won, 这里having won变成整句话的修饰；语义改变
D. 主句无谓语
E. 意思有问题，没有体现Katharine的特别作用
此题有平行关系，it was that
it was ... that ... and it was ... that ...
还是考的语意：
A/E：it 做形式主语，有强调的意思，A，强调是凯瑟琳变成发行人后华盛顿邮报才进入第一梯队，强调是在凯瑟琳的命令下，这份报纸才因为报道水门事件获得了极高的评价。A句凯瑟琳是句子语意的中心；E，华盛顿邮报获得了高的评价，语意中心是华盛顿邮报。
这里应该是强调凯瑟琳的作用，在凯瑟琳来之前，这份报纸屁都不是，凯瑟琳来了以后，它又是进入第一梯队，又是报道水门事件获得表扬啥啥的，如咸鱼翻身啊～～
E "moving" and "becoming" indicate something that's going on right now - this should be in the past. And "after Katherine Graham's becoming its publisher" is horrible.
That leaves us with A (where the second "it" pronoun is fine, by the way, because both logically and structurally it refers to Wash Post).
C has a problematic pronoun (it) - logically refers to Wash Post but structurally could refer to KG or publisher. Also, this sentence indicates that it moved into the first ranks as a result of having won high praise. The original sentence doesn't indicate that meaning and we can't just change the meaning of the sentence.
D is a sentence fragment - there's no verb for Wash Post, which is the ostensible subject.
B uses past perfect incorrectly (simple past for "it was only after" and past perfect for "it had won high praise" which comes later chronologically than when KG became publisher)
and 后面是 it was …that…
