历年托福考试语法真题全面解析11
11. Essentially, a theory is an abstract, symbolic representation of __________reality.(A) what it is conceived
(B) that is conceived
(C) what is conceived to be
(D) that is being conceived of
答案：C
测试点：名词从句。
分析：介词of后只能接名词宾语或名词性宾语从句。what引导的从句为名词从句，而that引导的从句则不可，接在介词后面，故在(A)(C)中选择。但(A)中what与it重复，故选(C)。且be conceived to be是固定结构。
12. All of the plants now raised on farms have been developed from plants __________wild.
(A) once they grew
(B) they grew once
(C) that once grew
(D) once grew
答案：C
测试点：定语从句。
分析：plants后的成份应是其定语从句，应在答案中选择完整、适当的从句，即(C)。此从句中that作主语，不可省略，故(D)错。(A)与句意不合；(B)不通。
13. __________relatively costly, the diesel engine is highly efficient and needs servicing infrequently.
(A) Even
(B) It is
(C) Even though
(D) There is
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。
14. __________images out of clay, stone, and metal.
(A) The shaping of sculpture
(B) Sculpting the shapes
(C) To shape sculpture
(D) Sculptors shape
答案：D
测试点：主谓结构。
分析：本句主、谓语俱缺，应在答案中选择主谓结构的形式，即(D)。
15. __________dates from the end of the eighteenth century.
(A) The modern circus
(B) That the modern circus
(C) While the modern circus
(D) The modern circus that
答案：A
测试点：主语。
分析：dates是谓语动词，前面缺少主语。应在答案中选择名词或名词组作主语，即(A)。
