(B) sprang to life not in a flash of inspiration but were slowly evolved
(C) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly
(D) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but had slowly
(E) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but they were slowly evolved

2、2. 主谓一致
例题:Diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.
(A) ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only
(B) rank as the nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed
(C) has the rank of the nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed
(D) are the nation's third leading causes of death, surpassed only
(E) have been ranked as the nation's third leading causes of death, only surpassed
解析:句子中的主语部分是开头Diabetes,是单数形式,尽管句中出现插入语,但是对句子的主谓一致不造成影响,因此正确答案应该选择单数形式的谓语,正确答案是A。
3、3. 逻辑主语
4、4. 比较结构:
例题: Like the idolization accorded the Bront?s and Brownings, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf are often subjected to the kind of veneration that blurs the distinction between the artist and the human being.
(A) Like the idolization accorded the Bront?s and Brownings,
(B) As the Bront?s' and Brownings' idolization,
(C) Like that accorded to the Bront?s and Brownings,
(D) As it is of the Bront?s and Brownings,
(E) Like the Bront?s and Brownings,
解析:题目中出现like在句首,考察的是比较结构,要求比较对象要对等,从后面的分句看,比较的对象是人物(James Joyce and Virginia Woolf),因此句首部分在比较的时候也应该是人物。正确答案是E。
