A. in disease

B. that disease

C. of disease

分析：動詞believe 的用法：直接加that引導的賓語從句。這里that為連接adv.,在句中不作任何成分，其后接完整句。

B. the first African American was

C. she was the first African American

D. when the first African American

答案：A

分析：缺賓語，C, D都不能作賓語。一句話中只能有一個謂語，而B中有was,句中出現(xiàn)兩個謂語，一定錯。

分析：考的是同位語結構，a phenomenon是 the decentralization of cities throughout the United States 的同位語。A中and為conj.,后面應該連接一個完整的句子，但缺主語，錯；C中語序混亂，錯； D中of which作為介詞賓語，后面應該接一個完整句，但只有一個phenomenon主語，句子不完整，錯。

參考譯文：可能戰(zhàn)后重大的趨勢就是美國城市的分散化，當大規(guī)模高速公路建設項目容許了更大程度的發(fā)展郊區(qū)，這個現(xiàn)象更被促進了。

答案：D

分析：句子的主語是grapes , 后面是平行結構grow…， range…， and contain…空格后的句子已完整，那么空格處就應該是同位語，狀語從句，分詞等修飾成分。A中Their指代不明，而且classification和berries也不相符，錯；B中Although為conj.,后面應該是完整句，錯；C中Because為conj.,后面應該是完整句，錯。
