Question

Every year _______ students attend the college entrance examination, and ______ them can be admitted into their ideal universities.

A．a quantity; many

B．a quantity of; a good many

C．quantities of; many of

D．quantities; a good many of

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查词组和主谓一致：a quantity of大量的，后面的谓语是单数，quantities of 大量的，后面的谓语用复数，根据谓语attend可知第一空填C，第二空就是them应该是many of，指他们中很多人，句意：每年大量的学生参加高考，其中很多被理想大学录取了。选C.
点评：同样是表示许多，但用法却不一样： a quantity of修饰可数或不可数名词，后面的谓语是单数a good many 修饰可数名词复数，后面的谓语是复数，quantities of; 修饰可数或不可数名词，后面的谓语是复数，做题时要注意这些细节。
