1、TO

2、宾补。在周期表中的铜以及其他IB族中的金属的显著的特征是他们对化学侵蚀的抵抗能力。

3、答案是C吧。DESPITE是介词不能接完整的句子。

IcePoint

回braveMBA，对于第3题，despite 后边没有接一句话哦。

despite eventually succeeded Ezra Pow as leader of the progressive imagists
这句话好像不是一句完整的话吧？

以下是引用IcePoint在2003-10-22 9:23:00的发言：
回braveMBA，对于第3题，despite 后边没有接一句话哦。

my answer of No3 is also C, this is a complete sentence. Because the adv-"eventually" requires the V-"succeeded" to be put in front of the subject. Actually this sentence equal to :" despite Ezra Pow succeeded as leader of the progressive imagists eventually." (dao zhuang ju)

braveMBA

同意，DESPITE后面是倒装句。

IcePoint

如果是倒装句得话如何修改?这里为什么无缘无故得用倒装呢？

nanozhang

you can modify "despite" to "although".
"dao zhuang" is because the adv-"eventually"!

IcePoint

回 nanozhang： 刚刚查了语法书，关于倒装得问题。

典型得几种倒装（也是Toefl中常考得）：
1。so,neither, nor置句首
2. never,seldom,little,hardly,scarely,no sooner,not only置句首倒装
3。only句首倒装
4。强调句倒装。

我觉得并不是有了副词就倒装，再说副词修饰succeed 放在它得前面也是可以得啊？

迷惑，请指教。另外谢谢你：）

第3题我这样认为：
despite应改为who
succeed sb as(title)为固定用法：接替sb的职位、头衔等。
译：诗人A通过...开始她的事业，最终接替了E做了进步意象派画家的领导人。
