问题
选择题
To write his paper, he tried hard to collect _______ information as he could.
A．many of
B．a great many
C．the number of
D．a large amount of
答案
答案：D
题目分析：考查形容词短语。Many/a great many修饰可数名词复数形式；the number of“…的数量”；a large amount of许多，大量，修饰不可数名词；本题横线后面的information是一个不可数名词，故D正确。
点评：形容词短语对名词进行修饰，要特别注意有些只能修饰可数名词，如many，a numberof等等；有一些只能修饰不可数名词，如much, a great deal of等；有些两者都可以修饰，如a lot of等。
