1. Most amphibians hatch from eggs laid in water or moist ground, and begin life___water-dwelling larvae.
   a) such b)as c)to be d) are
答案：b   为色么不选c
b肯定对。如果选C的话，应该用begin life to be of ，我的理解，不知道对不对：）

  2. (In every) society there are norms that (say) individuals( how) they are (supposed )to behave.
答案：b
这里用say读起来挺别扭的，而且其它三个都对，应该是要把say换成其它动词，比如prescribe

  3. (Due to )the refraction of light rays, (this) is impossible for the naked eye (to determine )the exact location of a star (close) the horizon.
答案：b
It is...It在这里做主语，指带the naked eye to determine the exact location of a star close the horizon。

   4.( It) is the( interaction )between people, rather than the events that occur in their lives (that are) the main focus of (social )psychology.
答案：c
that is， that从句修饰interaction

谢谢，接着再来几题
     1. A politician can make a legislative proposal more___by giving specific examples of what its effect will be.
     a) to understanding b) understandably c) understandable d) when understood
key: c   但是为色么不是b, make 是动词， 应用副词来作比较极。

     2. Before every presidential election in the United Statess, the statisticians try to guess the proportion of the population that___ for each candidate.
     a) are voted b) voting c) to be voted d) will vote
key: d  为色么不是a

      3. Emily Dickinson's garden was a place___ great inspiration for her poems.
     a) that she drew b) by drawing her c) from which she drew d) drawn from which
key: c  为色么不是a

      4. It was (near end) of (prehistoric )times (that the first)( wheeled) vehicles appeared.
key: a

     5. The early (periods of aviation) in the United States was marked by (exhibition flights )made by (individual) fliers or by (teams of performers) at country fairs.
key: a 为色么不是b,两个名词

xeonxeon

1. make+宾语+adj.,例如make them happy, make it clear,相当于cause to be, make的习惯用法。而且这里的understandable修饰的是名词proposal,不应该用副词

2. 投票选举是一个主动过程，选民是投票而不是被投票。

3. 完整的句子应该是she drew great inspiration from a place for her poems.在这里关系代词(that/which)作句中介词from的宾语，在这种情况下，如果介词提前，关系代词只能用which。a少一个介词，而且不应该用that，如果一定要用that，那么that在从句中应该做主语。（说得好乱啊）

4. nearly the end

5. a明显错，因为谓语动词是was，应该用单数。两个名词放在一起是有例子可查的，如an exhibition match, book exhibition等(from cb2003).

谢谢，太棒了！再接几题
     1. ___no real boundary to the part of the ocean referred  to as a " deep" because of changing water levels and movement in the sea floor.
     a) It is b) To be c) Being d) There is
key: d  为色么不是a

     2. A few animals sometimes fool their enemies___ to be dead.
     a) appear b) to appear c) by appearing d) to be appearing
key: c    为色么不是b

     3. Butte, Montana, (had built )above large (deposits )of silver, gold, and cooper and (became) known as " the (richest )hill on Earth."
key: d

     4. The (glass )tube in a fluorescent( lamp)( contains) mercury bapor under( small )pressure.
key: d

xeonxeon

1.如果用it is，it是形式主语，在句子中一定可以找到一个真正的主语和it一致，而这里找不到。而且，用it is的形式，后面一般会接一个that从句。如It is the common people that created the history.

2. 表示用什么方式，用什么手段的时候用by，而用to一般是表目的

3. 这道题我看不出有任何毛病

4. 如果pressure可数，应该用a small，如果不可数，应该用little

谢谢！接着来几题
      1. ___devised to lessen the drudgery of washing clothes that the origin of the washing machine is unclear.
      a) Were the inventions so numerous
      b) The inventions so numerous
      c) So numerous were the inventions
      d) The inventions that were so numerous
key: c        how about d ?

      2. Sagebrush (flourishes )in the (dry )soil of the western plains, where (other many )plants (cannot grow).
key: c

      3. Snakes are( capable of )graceful( motion) throughout the (entire long) of their rubbery( bodies.)
key: b

      4. Oceans continually lose by evaporation much of the river water___.
       a) to constantly flow into them
       b) is constantly flowing into them
       c) constantly flows into them
       d) constantly flowing into them
key: d    how about c ?

       5. The central purpose of management is (for making )every action (or) decision help (achieve )a (carefully )chosen goal.
key: a

xeonxeon

1. so...that结构的倒装。选d的话，从语法上分析，如果你认为devised是that从句的谓语，那么numorous应该是numorously，如果devised是inventions的谓语，那么缺少一个were。而且，就算语法上是对的，选d语意上也不通

2.many other，语序错了

3. 我认为应该是c，entire length

4. 选c的话，缺少一个that，代词做主语的时候，在定语从句中不能省略。如果你认为flows是river water的谓语，那么一个句子中就出现了两个谓语。

5. to make，固定搭配吧，...purpose of...is to...

xeonxeon

1. campaigning,副词后面应该跟一个动词
