9.Actually,___________ of people seem to prefer watching games to playing games.(  )
A.the majorityB.a great dealC.a great manyD.the number

分析 事实上,大部分人似乎更喜欢看比赛而不是打比赛.

解答 答案:A
解析:A选项the majority of意为"…中的大部分",其后接可数名词复数形式;B选项a great deal of 意为"很多的;大量的",其后接不可数名词;C选项a great many of意为"…中的很多",其后接可数名词复数(且名词前有限定词);D选项the number of意为"…的数量",其后接可数名词单数且谓语动词用单数形式.根据句意"大部分人似乎更喜欢看比赛而不是打比赛"及横线后面复数形式的谓语动词seem"似乎"可以将D选项直接排除;people是可数名词名词复数形式,故B选项排除;本题横线后面的名词people前面没有限定词,故C选项排除.综上,只有A选项符合用法及句意.

点评 本题考查数量的表达,做此类题目时先要弄清楚每个选项的用法再结合原句从句意和用法几个方面确定出正确答案.

19.The meaning of the word"volunteer"may be a little different in different countries,but it usually means"one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer,such as taking care of sick people,working on homes for homeless children,and picking up garbage (垃圾) from beaches and parks.Volunteers may work within their countries or in other countries.They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
  At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people.Tracy,a good friend of mine,however,recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta.The following is her story.
"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school,we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world.I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school,I too wanted to try her kind of work.So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash clothes and sheets,and pass out lunch.I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them.To be honest,I don't think I was helping very much.It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help,but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."

A.is willing to help those in need without pay

Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn't say that just one bite of meat causes cancer,it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者).So for your health,the environment and future generations,it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude.There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
