OG12-138
In no other historical sighting did Halley’s comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910-1911.
A. did its return in 1910-1911
B. had its 1910-1911 return
C. in its return of 1910-1911
D. its return of 1910-1911 did
E. its return in 1910-1911
解题思路：直接参加OG吧，此题太难了，我也没什么特别好的思路
这个句子是倒装句，把它正过来
Halley's comet did cause such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting as (?)
从划线部分可以看出来是HC导致的世界范围的sensation在其他历史情况下 as HC的return 1910-1911
对比的对象是：in no other historical sighting
所以应该选C
b)
other的使用

(C) much larger proportions of women in trade negotiations than has any
(D) proportions of women in trade negotiations that are much larger than any

(C) a higher number of family dwellings per capita than does any other large city
(D) higher numbers of family dwellings per capita than do other large cities
(E) a high per capita number of family dwellings, more than does any other large city
解题思路：没有other的通杀，排除A;比较对象是LA has与other city has，B选项不对称，排除;剩下对比D选项do不好，排除;C/E比较，C更合适
