解題要點：同位語結構是中國學生不甚熟悉而TOEFL考題中常出現的結構。見到主語和謂語動词/系動词之間的，兩邊用逗號隔開的形式，應首先考慮同位語的可能性，選擇名词性結構。
4. Long before children are able to speak or understand a language, __________communicate through facial expressions and by making noises.

(C) Inventories show that

(D) is human knowledge known
答案：B
考点：what引導的名词從句。
分析：介词of應後接名词性成份作介词宾语。What…結構的作用相當於一個名词，它要麼是what+不定式，要麼是what從句，即名词性從句。答案中無不定式形式，只有(B)能與what組成完整的從句，故選 (B)。(A)it與what重複。
