The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.
doubling the increase of
doubling that of the increase in
double as much as the increase of
twice as many as the increase in
twice as many as the increase of
题目分析：
本题涉及到了较多比较的用法。注意本题的含义，这里的double是make twice as great（造成两倍的）的意思，也就是“使increase/growth两倍”，所以本题直译过来是“今年的人数造成了去年增长人数两倍的增长”。因此，严格来讲，并不是“比较”the number of people和“去年的增长”，而是the number of people发出了“造成两倍”这个动作。
选项分析：
A选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项：代词that of无指代对象。在逻辑上，that不能指代the number，the increase in previous year已经表达了去年的增长数字，再用number就赘余了。
C选项：double as much as the increase of需改为double the increase of。这是因为，当“非数字物体（即，这个名词本身没有纯粹的数字概念，例如dogs、cats等绝大多数名词）”比较时，我们通常会用double(twice) as much as或double(twice) as many as，例如：
twice as many dogs
double as much water
但是，当“数字”比较时，我们不能加as many或as much，例如：
twice the increase
double the decrease
显然地，增长和下降本身就是数字的概念。因此，不能用double as much as the increase of。
D选项：本选项错误同(C)。另外，由于the number是不可数名词，所以至少应该改为much。
E选项：本选项错误同(D)。
考察：
而是the number of people发出了“造成两倍”这个动作。the number of people......, doubling the increase of last year
the number of people是不可数名词，所以至少应该改为as much as
twice the increase
double the decrease
⚠️
当“非数字物体”比较时，我们通常会用double(twice) as much as或double(twice) as many as，例如：
twice as many dogs
double as much water

twice the increase
double the decrease
简略为主
Ron- "the increase in X" means that X itself has increased. therefore, "the increase in the previous year" doesn't make sense, because the implication would be that the previous year itself had increased (what would that possibly mean?).
"the increase of TIME PERIOD", by contrast, means exactly what it should mean in this particular instance.
double as much as the increase of需改为double the increase of。这是因为，当“非数字物体（即，这个名词本身没有纯粹的数字概念，例如dogs、cats等绝大多数名词）”比较时，我们通常会用double(twice) as much as或double(twice) as many as，例如：
twice as many dogs
double as much water
但是，当“数字”比较时，我们不能加as many或as much，例如：
twice the increase
double the decrease
显然地，增长和下降本身就是数字的概念。因此，不能用double as much as the increase of。
此处的double并不是去比较两个数字，而是表示double v.使变为两倍
DE同位语从句,没有可以合理修饰的词

比较数字应该使用大或小
B that of the increase 造成语义重复
C double一个句子出现两个动词 as much as不比较数字
DE many可数不可以修饰the increase
老师及各位大侠，A/B选项中的doubling, 和COMMA ING用法有什么不同吗？我当时做题时直接排除了A和B, 因为觉得不是同一个时间段，一个是1989一个是1990。还请指点，谢谢！
DE选项本意是想用同位语从句，但是同位语从句只能修饰逗号前名词。
increase in--RON:"the increase in X" means that X itself has increased. therefore, "the increase in the previous year" doesn't make sense, because the implication would be that the previous year itself had increased (what would that possibly mean?).
老师，请问如果CDE改为twice the increase of /double the increase of 就正确了吗？这样句子结构上会不会也有问题呢？

the number是不可数名词
if the noun in question is already an explicitly numerical quantity, then you should use neither "much" nor "many". instead, you should just use "twice" or "double" by itself.
e.g., twice the increase --> "increase" is an explicitly numerical quantity
做结果状语
"the increase in X" means that X itself has increased. therefore, "the increase in the previous year" doesn't make sense, because the implication would be that the previous year itself had increased (what would that possibly mean?).
"the increase of TIME PERIOD", by contrast, means exactly what it should mean in this particular instance.
by contrast, the -ING FOLLOWED BY A COMMA modifies the entire action of the preceding clause. this is exactly what you want to happen, because the actual rising of the # of people flying first class is what "doubled the increase of...". there's no noun in there that pinpoints this concept, so you have to use a modifier that modifies the entire clause.
