我把基本答案贴一下
说实话，我觉得不少都超出了托福的考察范围，一些题的出题思路也和托福有异，比如一些高级指代用法的考察。权且当成语法寂寞高手的试金石吧。
1.It displease my parents when Richard and I stay out late every night. My parents don 't approve_____.
A, of me and Richard staying out late every night.
B, of Richard and me staying out late every night.
C, of Richard ' s and my staying out late every night.
D, when Richard and me stay out late every night.
====>B is correct. approve of + pronoun + Ving
2.“ As for their going along with us,“she said,“________ ”.
A, my husband and myself certainly have no objection.
B, certainly my husband and I have no objection.=====> correct
C, either I or my husband certainly have no objection.
D, either my husband or I certainly have no objection
We use "either... or ..." to talk about a choice between two possiblities (and sometimes more than two). thus, "both my busband and I certainly have no objection" is correct, and " neither my husband nor I have objection" is correct, too. .
3.“ any thing wrong? ”“ there was no objection on the part of ________ present”.
A, this.
B, those.
C, these.
D, who.
=======>B is correct. 指代用" that or those", but not" this or these."
the partern is : .... on the part of those (which/that are) present/adj.
"those + (which/that are) adj."
4. Although oriental ideas of woman ' s subordination to man prevailed in those days, she_______ meet with men on an equal basis.
A, did not dared.
B, dared not
C, dared not to.
D, did dare not to.
B is correct. Dare can be used in two ways:
a. as an ordinary verb, followed by the infinitive with to
He's a man who dares to say what he thinks.
She didn't dare to tell him what had happened.
b. as a modal auxiliary verb.
Dare she tell him?
I daren't say what I think.
(Question and negative without to; third person without -s; following infinitive wihtout to)
5. The stars (awaken) a certain reverence in man because, (though) always (present), they are beyond (your) reach.
=====> your ------> his
6. I had hoped( to have learned )French before my trip (to Paris), but I (did not have) any (extra money) for a course.
" I had hoped...." is used to talk about hopes that were not realised --- hopes for things that did not heppen.
to have learned French -----> that I would learn French
7.“ what is the difference? ”
“ this furniture is different from______ ”.
A, that book.
B, your.
C, that one.
D, that.
=====>D is correct. furniture 不可数， 不能用one

C is correct. "that" = twenty miles
9.“ what did Jack do last year? ”. “ I heard ____ taught German. ”.
a, he.
B, his.
c. he is.
d. him.
“ I heard (that) he taught German.
10.“ did you see any foreigner present at the party? ”.
“ he was the only foreigner ____ I saw at the party. ”.
a, whom.
B, that .
C, who.
d. which.
====> B is correct.
the pattern: all that, only...that etc.
That is especially common after quantifiers like all, every(thing), some(thing), any(thing), no(thing), none, little, few, much, only, and after superlatives.
Is this all that's left? (More natural than .... all which is left?)
Have you got anything that belongs to me? (More natural than.....anything which...)
The only thing that matters is to find our way home.
I hope the little that I've done has been useful.

11.(Nobody) who will not try to help the other people (develop) (his )abilities (deserves) to have friends.
=====> his ------> one's
12.(there is ) often disagreement( as ) (to whom) is the (better) Shakespearean actor, Evans or Gielgud.
to whom ---> to who "disagreement about/over/as to/on" is a fixed phrase.
13.John was ( the only one ) of the boys (whom) as you know ( was) not (eligible).
whom ---> that. "only.....that".
14.The ( irritable) sergeant (was) insistent that nothing (superseded) the drilling of ( the forty new men.).
superseded ----> supersede. because of the word --"insistent", which can be called " subjunctive adjectives" such as essential , imerative, important, necessary, this kind of expression is impersonal. the whole sentence should be like:
The irritable sergeant was insistent that nothing (should) supersede the drilling of the forty new men.
15.(Still holding) the young man's hand, he paused, and then (added deliberately): now I am not the man to let a cause (to be lost) ( for want of )a word.

“ I would like to have_____”.
A, some other.
B, another.

d. other.
======> there are 4 patterns: 1). some...... other ; 2). these ... those; 3). this ...that 4).these pies..... another(=those pies)
17.The FORMation of snow (must be occurring) (slowly), in calm air, and at temperature (near) the ( freezing) point.

20.When our neighbor's daughter( caught) her fingers in the car door, she (did not cry) even though it (must) have (hurted) her.
hurt -- hurt ---hurt. there is no word as "hurted"
21.I will employ the man ______ they say is a fluent speaker of English.
A, who.
B, that.
C, which.
d. whom.
=======>B is the best. it is correct to say "I will employ the man that/who is a fluent speaker of engish". but we have "they say" there.
if A, "who they say" is not 插入语, it should be " whom they say". but "whom they say" cannot be a subject of "is a fluent speaker". if A were correct, the sentence would be read like: I will employ the man who/whom is said to be a fluent speaker of english.
22.“Then about tolstoy's great novels”.
“ who_____ has read his great novels can forget their fascination?”
a, who.
B, that.
c. which
d. whoever.
=====> B is correct. A怎么错了？ If A, How to understand "who who has read his...."!!! Simplifying the sentence, the main sentence is: "who can forget their fascinatin?".
"that has read his great novels" modifies "who".

A, did the flipper adaptation of the whale originate.
B, was the flipper adaptation of the whale originated.
c. the flipper adaptation of the whale originated.

orders of words. we need a 陈述句 here. thus, C is correct.
24.Most (aggregate) rocks are fused, and, (as is implied ) by the name, (has originated) (by the aggregation ) of smaller stones.
has originated ----->originated. ...... are fused , and ........, originated .... fused // originated.
25.The Amish, (whose) culture is (unique) American, have (developed) a (distinctive) tradition in organic farming.
unique/adj ----> uniquely/adv. becaue 'american" here is an adj. if "american" were a noun, it would be like: ...is a unique american, or .... is unique americans. however, it makes no sense to say: "culture is a person". Thus, "american" here is an adjective thus, we need an adv "uniquely" to modify an adjective" american".
26.By the time smith (graduates) from (dental school), he will be (twenty-six) (years of age).
dental school ----> a/the dental school.
27.(standing in the driveway), the house (appeared to be ) much smaller than (it had seemed ) (to us as children) many years ago.

28.Kevin is (particularly) (fond of) cooking, and he (really) (cooks) delicious meals.
=======>Kevin is (particularly) (fond of) cooking, and he cooks really delicious meals.
really/adv. + delicious/adj. + meals/n. "really" doesn't modify "cooks/vt". "really" 为什么不可以修饰动词? ==>in that case, what is meaninf of " really cook/v"? "really cook" makes no sense. we should say: he cooks really/very dedicious meals

C, the first time I have ever seen.
D, my first time I have ever seen.
=====> The key is We use a simple present perfect tense in sentences constructed with "this/it/that is the first/second/third/only/best/worst/etc". the pattern is:
this/it/that is the first/second/third/only /best/worse/etc + present perfect.
This is the first time that i've heard her sing. (NOT this is the first time that i hear her sing.)
This is the fifth time you've asked me the same question. (NOT this is the fifth time you ask...)
That's the third cake you've eaten this morning.
It's one of the most interesting books I've ever read.
When we talk about the past, we use past perfect tenses in these structures.
It was the third time he had been in love that year. (NOT....the third time he was in love...)
by the way, we also need to know " tenses with THIS IS THE LAST...
Present and future tenses are both possible with "this is the last.."
This is the last time I'm paying for you.
or. This is the last time I'll pay for you.
That's the last letter he gets from you

36.Bill said that he didn't do _______ paper work.
A, many.
B, lots of .
c. a great deal of .
d. much.
=======>1). A is obviously wrong, -- paper work is non-countable in that sentence. 2). B = C, thus, it means if B were correct, C would be correct, too. thus, only D is the best. 在肯定句中 lots of \a great deal of \much都可以用于修饰不可数名词如paper work, B和c有什么不妥？lots of / a great deal of 通常不用于否定句, 一般只用much而不用B,C. 因此答案应选D
37.I waited there for thirty minutes; that seemed ________ hours to me.
A, many.
B, very much.
C, as many.
d. so many.
=====>as many=thirty , "as many" refers to "thirty" here. It means, waiting there for thirty minutes seeemed waiting as many as thirty hours. there is a fixed phrase called "seem as"? i know there are " seem as if", seem that, seem to do. however, it is also correct to say:" that seemed like many hours to me."
38.No one (on ) the committee had flatly made (some ) such allegation, ( though) Wayne Morse did come (close) by declaring that the U.S. had irritated the North Vietnamese.
some ----> any. no......any
1. the meaning of any
Any is a determiner. It generally suggests an indefinite amount or number, and is used when it is not important to say how much/many we are thinking of. Because of its "open", non-specific meaning, any is often used in questions and negative clauses, and in other cases where there is an idea of doubt or negation.
Have you got any beer?
We didn't have any trouble going through customs.
You never give me any help.
The noise of the party stopped me getting any sleep.
I suddenly realised I'd come out without any money.
Any is common after if.
if you find any blackberries, keep some for me.
Sometimes any means "if there is/are any" or "whatever ther is/are".
Any fog will clear by noon.( = if there is any fog, it will clear by noon.)
Perhaps you could correct any mistakes I've made.
Any can be used to emphasise the idea of open choice: "it doesn't matter who/what/which".
You can borrow any book you like.
2. any and some
Any often contrasts with some, which is most common in affirmative clauses. Compare:
I need some razor blades.
Have you got any razor blades?
Sorry, I haven't got any razor blades.
3. any and a/an
Any is very often used with uncountable and plural nouns. It can have the same kind of meaning as the indefinite article a/an has with singular countable nouns.
I haven't got a car, and I haven't got any money to buy one.
Is there a tin-opener in the house? And are there any plates?
With this meaning any is unusual with singular countable nouns.
She hasn't got a job. (Not she hasn't got any job)
Do you know a good doctor? (Not Do you know any good doctor?)
Note the fixed expressions any idea and any difference are used as if the nouns were uncountable.
Have you got any idea what she wants?
Is there any difference between "close" and "shut"?
4.any = "it doesn't matter who/which/what"
Any can be used to emphasise the idea of free choice, with the meaning of "it doens't matter who/which/what". With this meaning any is commmon in affirmative clauses as well as quesitons and negatives, and is often used with singular countable nouns as well as uncountables and plurals. In speech, it is stressed.
Ask any doctor - they'll all tel you that alcohol is a poision.
She goes out with any boy who askes her.
"When shall I come?" "Any time."
Can I get a meal here at any time of the day?
I don't do just any work - I choose jobs that interest me.
Note that we use either, not any, to talk about a choice between two alternatives.
I can write with either hand. (NOT .......any hand)
39.There (have been ) (many) an argument (about) (its) proper usage.
=====>The key is how to understand Many an argument? (怎么解释) many an argument = many arguments. but "many an argument" is treated as "singluar noun" in Grammar.
40.( the social studies), (broad speaking), (deal with) man's ( relationship to other men).
broad speking ---> broadly speaking
41.Founded ( in ) 1961 ( and employed) an estimated 35,000 people, the organization (has gained) a reputation for brutality.
emplayed ---> emplaying. because the subject is "the organization".
42.“john had the piano tuned today.”
“ was it_______?”.
A, out of tune badly before.
B, before badly out of tune.
C, badly out of tune before.
D, out of tune before badly.
was it____? = it was ..... you can find an answer easily.
43.“leaving for Chicago?”
“_______.”
A, soon.
B, lately.
c. late.
d. sooner.
====>怎样选出a来的？only A fits there. well, if C were" later", C would be correct, too.
44.“ jane acts quite unfriendly.”
“ I think she is ________ than unfriendly.”
A, shyer.
B, shy.
C, more shy rather.
D, more shy.
=====>D is correct.
"shyer" is the comparative form of "shy", but we don't use "shyer" in this case. Let's see how the sentence looks like if we take "shyer": "I think she is shyer than unfriendly". It doesn't make sense, doest it? Actually, the adverb "more" supplements the verb "is", not the adjective "shy". The comparative form of "shy" has nothing to do in this case. It is somewhat similar to this sentence: "She is more than happy". You see, "happy", not "happier".
I think that if you compare two people or things in terms of one characteristic or quality and the adjective is one or sometimes two syllables, then you should use the "-er" form.
"John is taller than George."
"Mary is happier than Linda."
"Tom is shier(shyer) than his sister."
However, if you are comparing the degrees to which two characteristics or qualities exist in one person or thing, you should use "more".
"Tom is more brave than intelligent."
"The cake is more tasty than nutritious."
"I think that she is more shy than unfriendly."
45.“would you like me to go to the doctor with you?”
“no, you_______ with me.”
A, need not to go.----> don't need to go would be correct.
B, do not need go.
c. need not go.
D, need to not.
When "need" is followed by another verb, it can have the forms either of an ordinary verb or of a modal auxiliary verb.
46.No (other )beverage comes (even) close to rivaling coffee as the (more widely) drunk refreshment in the (world).
====>the more widely drunk refreshment in the world -----> the most widely drunk regreshment in the world.
47.Strangers (come) into her city (now) notice what a (clean) place ( it is).
====> the main sentence is " strangers now notice what...."., thus, come ----> coming. the whole sentence would be like: Strangers (who come) into her city now notice what a clean place it is.
48.Professor Anderson thought that because historical parallels are so ( much) used unprecisely and uncritically it (would) be (better) to avoid them altogether in our themes.
====>48, Professor Anderson thought that because historical parallels are so used unprecisely and uncritically (that) it (would) be (better) to avoid them altogether in our themes. it looks like the pattern "so ... that",
49.“ I did not go to the party.”
“did _____ go to the party?”
a, many john friends.
B, many john's friends.
C, my sister boy friend.
D, a boy friend of my sister's.
===> D is correct. It could be B, if it were: many of john's friends
50.“what did you see?”
“ we saw_____ police there”.
A, many.
B, much.
c. little.
d. the.
=====>A为什么不行？police是单复同形的哦 ? . when we talking about police man, "police" is phural but not singular. "the police" is a fixed phrase.
51.(when) and (by whom) the islands of the west Indies were first settled is a matter (of debating) (among) archaeologists.
=====> debating ---> debate. "debate" is either countable or uncountable.
52.(Cliff's and Al's) car (broke down) again, but (luckily) they knew ( how to fix) it.
====>Cliff's and Al's car ------> Cliff and Al's car
We are talking about only one car here. If we say "Cliff's and Al's cars", we are talking about two different cars. And, we should make "car" plural (cars). To me, it should be: Cliff and Al's car....
53.(from the top ) of the tower, Jacob was able ( to clearly and easily see) the (whole ) city (stretching) out below him.
======> B. "to clearly and easily see) ----> to see clearly and easily
54.Joan ( decided) that she did not like the (girl eating) an ice-cream cone on the bus after (she) ( yelled) at her little brother.
=====>C ,有歧义吧。 she 到底指谁？ the reason is that "she" makes the sentence have multiple meanings, "she" mentions to Joan or the girl who is eating an ice-cream? 指代不清! thus, C (she) ---> that girl
