Now that the forest was destroyed by a big fire, a large ________of trees ______ to be planted on the mountain.
A.number; has
B.quantity; has
C.amount; have
D.sum; have
答案
答案:B
第一空考查“大量的”不同表达,a large number of修饰可数名词, a large quantity of修饰可数或不可数名词, a large amount of修饰不可数名词, a large sum of修饰不可数名词,所以第一空排除CD项,第二空考查主谓一致,a large number of修饰可数名词,后面接复数的谓语,所以A也不对。a large quantity of修饰可数或不可数名词,谓语是根据quantity的数来定,所以a large quantity of trees后面接单数谓语。选B。
