历年托福考试语法真题全面解析48
36. The gorilla, while not as curious than the chimpanzee, shows more persistence and memory retention in solving a problem.答案：B
测试点：as…as…的用法.
分析：看到句中的as，应立即注意后面的即是否缺失．than应为as.
解题要点：连词as与than本毫无关系，词意也不相同，但TOEFL考题中竞有几次把二者混淆错用．应注意划线的as或than.
37. The belief in fairies have existed from earliest times, and the literature of many countries includes tales of fairies and their relationship to humans.
答案：A
测试点：主谓数的一致.
分析：主语为单数的belief，谓语也要用单数的动词形式．have应为has.
38. Acrylic paint enables artists to experiment with many colors effects.
答案：D
测试点：名词的数.
分析：名词作定语时，应用其单数形式，不加s．此处应用color修饰effects.
39. Salt Lake City, Utah’s capital and largest city, is industrial and banking center.
答案：C 测试点：冠词。
分析：名词center前缺冠词。应为is an industrial(…center)。
40. A rat’s sharp teeth can gnaw through wood, plaster, or soft metallic such as lead.
答案：D
测试点：词性／并列结构.
分析：连词旧两边的成份应同词性，同形式．此处应用名词与wood和plaster并列．metallic是形容词；应为metal．另外，短语such as应紧接在名词后面，亦可推知它前面的应当是名词.
