【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析:词义搭配。a flock of people一群人。a pack of后接人,表示贬义,故被排除。multiple倍数,不用a multiple of这种结构。the bulk of接不可数名词,意为"大多数",如:the bulk of the English population。
【答案解析】解析:词义型结构搭配。approve of 赞同,本句中填approving无论在词义上和结构上都是正确的。conform符合,与…相一致,后接介词to。agree同意,后接with/to/ on。conceive设想,以为;怀有,虽可接of,但词义与句意不符。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:词义搭配。involvement卷入,投入,牵连,后常接介词in。response反应,回答,后接介词to。reflection反射,反应;反省,反思,后接介词of/on。例如:a reflection of a tree(树的倒影);reflections on the past(对往事的回忆反思)。

【答案解析】解析:词义搭配。the body of...…的主体,如:the body of a plane(机身)。the main body of evidence其中大量证据。the number of接可数名词的复数形式,意为"…的数目",例如:the number of factories。a series of接可数名词复数形式,意为"一系列…",例如:a series of experiments(一系列试验)。proportion of A to B意为"A与B的比例",例如:the proportion of imports to exports(进口与出口的比例)。
