In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910–1911.
did its return in 1910–1911
had its 1910–1911 return
in its return of 1910–1911
its return of 1910–1911 did
its return in 1910–1911
题目分析:
本题比较简单。我们需要知道对比的两者为“两个时间发生的情况”。本句的意思是:“历史上没有哪次哈雷彗星回归造成了跟1910-1911回归的这样的世界性范围的轰动。”本题比较难的地方是看出一个倒装,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)。
选项分析:
略
A. did its return in 1910–1911:比较里面的比较要apple to apple,即在M和G上吻合,且性质相同。假设这个句子是可以比较的。回访句子找比较对象,只可能是Halley's comet,这个不符合apple to apple原则(comet‘s return和comet不是一类的),删除。
as Halley's Comet caused in its return in 1910-1911.( as 主语 + 谓语 + 时间状语 )由于时间状语的比较,主谓可以省略,所以省略之后变为:as in its return in 1910-1911.选C
Halley's Comet did not cause such a worldwide sensation in any other historical sighting as [it did] in its return in 1910-1911
这个补充好。
厉害,谢谢!
请问一下大神! as it did in its return( of )1910-1911和as it did in its return (in)1910-1911的区别是什么呀?哪个是正确的呢?
原句:Halley's Comet did not cause such a worldwide sensation in any other historical sighting as [it did] in its return of 1910-1911。如果是A就是:Halley's Comet did not cause such a worldwide sensation in any other historical sighting as [it] did [in] its return in 1910–1911。可以省略subject+verb, 不能省略中间的介词。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论

比较对象比的是状语而不是HC,主句与比较从句的主语谓语都相同,被省略了
倒装的还原,是这样的没错。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
did its return in 1910–1911实际上是一个倒装,正常语序是its return in 1910–1911 did。相当于是return这个事件发出did这个动作,这本身就是不正确的。题目相比较的是在两个时期彗星引起的sensation。补出的did其实是cause。在逻辑上,不能是return cause sensation,应该是comet cause sensation。
明白了!
还是不太理解,【彗星】引起【轰动】当然是可以的,但是【回归】引起【轰动】,或者【彗星的回归】引起【轰动】,这在逻辑上错在哪里呢?
单纯这么说肯定是可以。但要注意这道题目还在一个“比较”的环境下呢,你说的这个两种都没法和前面的比~登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
