The construction was left half done, and _______ of money were wasted.
A.large numbers ofB.a great deal of
C.large amountsD.masses of
C

试题分析:句意:建筑被剩下一半,大部分钱都被浪费了。a great deal of +不可数名词;large amounts of+不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数。large numbers of+可数名词;masses of+可数名词或不可数名词。这里修饰money是不可数名词,但是空格后已有of,故排除ABD,故选C。
点评:本题难度适中。考查一些固定短语的用法是近几年高考的热点,需要考生牢记一些它们的用法,会分析句子的语境进而判断用它们的哪种形式。还需会区分类似的短语的不同用法。
即学即练:There’re _______ of  dark  clouds  in  the  sky.
A. large numbers of      B. a great deal of
C. large amounts of      D. masses
解析:D。句意:天空布满团团乌云。
