单选题 China does {{U}}a lot of{{/U}} trade with many countries.
  • A. a great deal of
  • B. a great many of
  • C. a large number of
  • D. a great level of
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 画线短语a lot of为形容词短语,意为“许多(的)”,可以修饰可数名词和不可数名词。在此修饰不可数名词trade。A项a great deal of意为“大量(的),许多(的)”,与画线词意思相近,只能修饰不可数名词;例:He has a great deal of native intelligence, ability, charm, etc.他天生聪明、能力强、有魅力,等等。B项中的固定搭配不存在,英语中只有a great many,意为“大量”,只能修饰可数名词;例:You might find a great many helpful suggestions.你会得到许多有益的启迪。C项a large number of意为“很多”,只能修饰可数名词;例:A large number of cables are needed in this project.这项工程需要大量电缆。D项中的固定搭配不存在。
