103. Poet Amy Lowell ( began ）　her career （　by publishing ）　the
   conventional volume A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass ,
   （ despite ）eventually succeeded Ezra Pound as　（ leader）
   of the progressive Imagists.
答案是C ,但我人为D 也不对,可数名词 leader 应有修饰呀?



114. Structuralism and ( it ) derivative theories, especially
    deconstructionism, ( have proposed ) to alter ( drastically )
    the direction of literary studies ( during ) the last thirty or
    thirty-five years.
答案是A, 我同意,但C是否也不对, drastically副词做状语不能放在谓语和宾语之间吧?

119.( Although )copper was hammered into tools
    and ornaments  ( by ) some early inhabitants
    of North America, the smelting and casting
    of copper ( were ) unknown ( between ) them.

答案是D, 该怎该?

谢谢

119， 改成among, them 是指inhabitants

103. despite  后接短语， 应为although

谢谢, 103 已懂,但有谁能回答我的另两个问题吗?

119. 同意galfeild MM的意见. between----> among. 因为这里的them是指 early inhabitants.

114.一般情况下,这个副词是应该放在宾语后面,但是这个题中的宾语是the direction of literary studies ,太长了.在这种情况下,这个副词是可以提前的,是为了平衡句子的需要.语法上没有错误.

119 between 应该改成 to 吧？ be known\unknow to sb.  
I am not very sure.

119)  I like "among".
103) )< leader  of >,  some nouns express the idea that the person is the only one in an organization. They don't need a determiner before them.
