20．Guitarlike instruments have exist since ancient times, but the first written mention of the guitar itself is from the fourteenth century.

答案：A   也知道为什么错了，不过觉得itself在这里怪怪的，它在句中充当什么成分呢？

35．The nineteenth-century romantic movement in art was partially a reaction to what was perceived as overemphasis on reasonable and order in neoclassicism.

答案：D    但觉得B好象也不对，partially 不应该改成partial吗？

28. The United States census for 1970 showed that the French-speaking residents of Louisiana were one of the country’s most compact regional linguistic minority.

guitar itself是与guitalike instruments相对的。远古时代就有类似吉他的乐器，但对吉他本身（真正叫做或是吉他的乐器）....

35．The nineteenth-century romantic movement in art was partially a reaction to what was perceived as overemphasis on reasonable and order in neoclassicism.

partially修饰的是前面动词was. 副词位置虽然灵活，但遇到be动词必须放在后面。

for 1970指对70年的美国进行的人口普查， in 1970是在那时进行的，这里是为了强调70年的时候是什么情况。

(D) who the winner of

头衔前面不需要定冠词，尤其插入句的句首。另外其他三个选项肯定错，A、C动词，D缺动词。

38．Different fourteen crops were being grown 8,600 years ago by some of the world’s earliest farmers.

being grown强调那么多年以前正在种植。过去进行时，强调当时状态而不是过去的概念。

还是最简单的原则，在托福语法中你只需要明确知道那个最明显错误的为什么错，至于其他为什么不错可以不管，当托福的用法来记。而且实践证明托福里面凡是出现你不懂的选项基本都是迷惑项，错的就是最简单的那个，但往往被忽略。
