spoken slander
(C)

(A)
Live
(B)

square or the equilateral triangle can be grouped into a class
__________polygons.
(A)

(B) to
call
(C) is
called
(D)
call as
答案:A
测试点:分词短语作后置定语。
分析:横线前的class是名词,其后的部分应是它的定语。这个定语要么是从句,要么是短语。4个答案中无完整的从句,只有(A)是过去分词,可与横线后的polygons组成短语,故选(A)。(C)如加上关系代词which或that则亦为正确。(B)to call应为被动语态(to
be called),这种结构通常省掉to
be,成为(A)的形式。
解题要点:分词短语作后置定语是TOEFL考题中反复出现的题型。它实际上等于系词(be)结构的定语从句省去which/that+be部分,只保留分词及其后成份。

答案:C
测试点:连词。
分析:逗号前后两部分意思相反,需表转折关系的连词,即(C)。解题要点;连词even though如引导主系表结构的从句,则常常省去主语和系词be,此句即省掉了the diesel engine is.在结构题中的四个答案中如有even though,应当首考虑这个选择。
