A. The first woman to hold the post of United States Secretary of
State was
B. Holding the post of United States Secretary of State was the first
woman
C. The first woman to hold the post of United States Secretary of
State,
D. The first woman holds the post of United States Secretary of State,

2. Barbara Kingsolver’s novel Pigs in Heaven is generally
considered
by critics ___ best literary achievements.
A. as one of her
B. that is her
C. to be one of her
D. was one of her

3. ___ inventions such as videos CD Rom and the internet, it has been

B. Because of recent

D. The result of recent

4. The number (of) seats in the Senate (has) always equal to twice

5. In 1860 the US was (fourth) in world (industrial) output, only

====================================
The correct answers should be:

1. C (why not D?)
2. C (why not A?)
3. B (why not A?)
4. B (why "The number of seats" + "has" is wrong?)
5. C (shouldn't "fourth" to be "the fourth"?)
6. B (what's meaning of "More than most languages" in the sentence,
and "because" should be replaced by which one?)

    • Give it a try... -itmad4u(没劲); 2002-7-3 {360} (#615408@0)
      1. C (D? (that) is missing, choose the best one)
      2. C (A? regular usage/no reason just memorize it)
      3. B (A? Since + clauses; invention is noun)
      4. B (number here is plural)
      5. C (rivaled; again, choose the best fit)
      6. B ( It helps to understand putting "More than most languages" in the sentence behind "itself"; and "because" should omitted)

      1、除了C其他都违背了谓语单一的原则。D中HOLD是个独立谓语。
      2、考宾补结构，而consider从不和as做固定搭配。consider A B/ consider A to be B/ A is considered to be B
      3、since 作介词一般与时间点搭配，Ex. since 1998....
      4、the number of结构后的动词形态要看of后的名词，是复数则其后的谓语/助动词就要用are/have等复数形式。这个结构只修饰可数名词。
      5、序数词一般是要用定冠词限制，但是也有例外。而这个例子里C是明显的语态错误（后面用by，基本是被动语态），因此根据抓主要矛盾的原则，该选C。
      6、in that=because，B是冗余项，去掉就可以了。句子开始的意思是E文比起其他语言更加善于词汇自身的复合。

      看着这些题目象TOEFL题，建议你去寄托网站下载些语法教材看看，都不长，但是针对性好，比较有帮助。
      • Thank you for your suggestion, becky! I still have concern about "consider", there is a term in dictionary, "consider sb/sth as sth" equals to "regard sb/sth as sth". Would like discuss further on it. -koala(冬眠的树熊爱吃寿司); 2002-7-3 (#615507@0)
        • 在我的印象里，consider …as…都是用在主动语态里。在被动语态里，都是用…is considered to be…。 -goodbye(古德白); 2002-7-3 (#615561@0)
          • 即使在主动语态里，TOEFL也认为和AS搭配是错的。真题里有例句。 -becky(becky); 2002-7-3 (#615652@0)
            • 谢谢大侠提醒，我对托福不熟，闹笑话啦。 -goodbye(古德白); 2002-7-3 (#615970@0)
              • 没有绝对的真理，只有相对的 -becky(becky); 2002-7-3 (#615979@0)
        • 其实TOEFL考的不是语法，你可以仔细看看那个SECTION2的标题，是结构和写作表达。 -becky(becky); 2002-7-3 {157} (#615634@0)
          本身语法是很复杂的，因为本来就是人为后期总结的，ETS为了保证TOEFL的科学性，就只考某几个语法点，例如这个consider的问题，ETS的就是一个道理，和AS的搭配就是错的。
        • Problem is that "one of her best sth" is not equal to "her sth"; you probably can only use "consider as" when followed by a simple noun. -itmad4u(没劲); 2002-7-4 (#616410@0)
    • 4. has 应改为助动词be的第三人称is, equal在此不做动词，否则用过去分词. -flyingdust(FlyingDust); 2002-7-3 (#615479@0)
      • Yeah, I am agreed this is the best answer for Q4. Thanks! -koala(冬眠的树熊爱吃寿司); 2002-7-3 (#615517@0)
      • agree.:-) -becky(becky); 2002-7-3 (#615643@0)
