大家来看看133题，答案是a ，但偶觉得d也有问题呀，因为lips 前后的名词都是可数名词，但都未用复数形式，因此lip 也不应用复数形式。　phonological structure encodes (speak)  sounds as a (sequence) of vocal tract configurations---(successive) positions of larynx, jaw, (lips), tongue and venlum。
诸位高见呢

90题也有同样的问题，the (amount) of money generated by a nation in (a year) in the forms of wages, rents, (interest), and profits is( known the) national income.　答案为d.
但偶以为c : interest　也有问题。因为　interest 作为利息，红利，股息来讲时，应用复数形式interests.

My idea is :
133)  A)-->spoken
        We human have only one L, J, T & V, but two lips.
        As it is a known fact, you can leave those organs in the sigular form without a preceding determiner like " the, their...".

test2 的84题怎么改呀。实在没看懂句子结构，好象主句没有谓语似的。晕倒！！！precipitation in (mountainuous) regions that (collects) in a number  of (small) vallleys that are (called) rills  and gullies.

yongchou的解释蛮有道理。

忘了，偶前面所请教的第90题是第二套里的。不好意思，把各位弄晕了。再贴一下吧：

test-2
90)  From Longman Dictionary ---
interest [uncountable] money paid to you by a bank or financial institution when you keep money in an account there
e.g.  an account that pays higher interest
e.g.  The more you save, the more interest you'll earn .
-------------------------------
wages, rents, (interest), and profits
有時真難推想都是錢,Why only "interest" is uncountable ?
這些老外....

( known the)-->known as
----------
大龙, Maybe you've found out too that whenever ETS put a series of nouns, they 're almost acting as distracting chioces.

yongchou

題目錯了  recipitation in (mountainuous) regions (that collects) in a number  of (small) vallleys that are (called) rills  and gullies.
原來My most trusted pdf version have mistakes too.
B--> collects
(差點沒想破頭)

真是公说公有理，婆说婆有理。新英汉辞典里就是用interests。不过刚才请教了一下老外，人说generally speaking, interest is widely used;but if it is used in specific business,interests is better. 人后来又加了一句，这玩意儿太没规律了，你就硬记吧。

84题原来如此呀，，，

我建议按照顺序一个个弄出来分10次（正好PP里面顺序）。
可以吗？
明天我贴test 1-1  (1-30题)
哪个一起来啊！

考英语语法靠的是语感。我非常同意楼上的观点，没有the，这个句子读起来就很别扭。所以c是对的。
