21. The snapper, a large -headed fish with a long dorsal fin, is named to its
characteristic way of suddenly, shutting its mouth.

答案是B，可是究竟错在哪里？

39. Few substance on Earth equal the beauty of gemstones such as twinkling
diamonds, green emeralds, red rubies, blue sapphires, and multicolored opals.

答案是A 从equal来分析也是A错。可是Few后不是应该跟单数名词的吗？

21   to-----by/after

39   few表示少的几乎没有，但是还是有阿，所以few后面是跟可数名词的复数

刘邦

name to 一般用为name sb to sth

表示choose sb的意思，故此处不能用，只能用name by/after.
