__________ of time and energy has been spent in investigating the murder.

A.A great dealB.A good manyC.Large numbersD.Large amounts

A

解析试题分析:考查形容词短语。a great deal of许多,大量,修饰不可数名词;a good many/large numbers of修饰可数名词复数形式;要特别注意large amounts of做主语的时候,谓语动词应该使用复数形式。故本题D项错误。另外本句中的time and energy属于不可数名词,排除BC项。故A正确。
考点:考查形容词短语
点评:词汇辨析是每次试卷中必然出现的题型,所以平时一定要把词汇放在句中进行记忆。在复习词汇的时候,要依据语言的横向组合和纵向聚合,按照点-线-面顺序,构建知识网络环境,对知识内容进行巩固、深化和提升,这样才能提高复习知识点的效率。这样,再做单项填空题时,就会觉得游刃有余。对于英语中的词汇用法,平时要多归纳总结,词汇用法的特殊语法规则更要特别记忆。最好把词汇放在句子中,连同句子一起记忆,这样能够加强记忆。

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Nothing can better illustrate the failure of education in this country than the contrast between millions of college graduates finding it hard to get a proper job every year and the lack of workers in the more industrialized regions.

According to news from Dongguan (东莞), one of the __50__ manufacturing centers in the Pearl River Delta (珠江三角洲) region in South China, “over 90 percent” factories have said they are finding __51__ difficult to employ people from the second half of 2009, when the __52__ began picking up and overseas orders restarted pouring in. Running to full capacity seems a dream that the factories had__53__. 

An awkward reality is that only few, __54__, of the new college graduates could really fill the vacancies because the trainings they have received are entirely __55__ from the demands of the jobs. Nor will Chinese cities have enough workforce if they pursue a development model other than export-based manufacturing.

The __56__ for that is simple: The knowledge about management graduates gather is totally out of step with reality, __57__ of them can hardly express themselves in English or compose an email message properly, and __58__ handle even paper work in a law service with the legal knowledge they have.

I __59__ some college teachers, whom I went to college with, that the amount of time an average college student spends on studies today is less than half of what we __60__ in the late 1970s when proper college education was recovered after the “cultural revolution” (1966-76).

“They (the administrations) have enrolled so many students just to __61__ from their parents (tuition and other charges)”, one of the teachers said embarrassedly. “It's a nationwide phenomenon, you know.”

It is hard to believe that a country should not __62__ education so seriously when there are no longer as many young people as before and view its opportunities only in terms of immediate financial gains, which greatly affects the quality of education. __63__, vocational education faces a double threat: frequent ups and downs in the business cycle and that of a flooding of cheap college certificates.

It is __64__ in a country with rapid development in many fields to see little reform and progress in its education system. When colleges are reduced to money-making machines, they cannot help a society create enough workers, thinkers and leaders.

     The Inspiration
     Greeks in ancient times believed in many deities (神) or gods. One way they showed their devotion to
gods was to build temples in their honor.
     A Shaky Start
     The Greeks were building the original Parthenon in about 480 B.C. when the Persians captured
Athens.The Greeks swore an oath (誓言) called "The Oath of Plateau". They swore to fight to death.
They also vowed never to rebuild the city's monuments. The Greeks survived the invasion. They used the
remains of the monuments to build a defensive wall around the city. After thirty years' peace, the Greeks
broke their oath.Their ruler, Pericles, ordered the rebuilding of Athens. They started work on Parthenon.
     Fit for a Godness
     The Greeks used expensive white marble to build the Parthenon. The Parthenon was 60 feet high and was surrounded by 46 tall Doric columns. The temple was decorated with many sculptures. A continuous
sculpture formed a border around the outside of the building. This horizontal band is called a frieze. Only
325 feet of the original 525 feet of the frieze still exist. A huge 40-foot gilt and ivory statue of Athena was
placed inside the temple.
     Changes in Purpose
     Over time, many different groups of people used the Parthenon. It was first a Greek temple. Then in
the sixth century, Christians made it a church. Later, in the 1400s, Muslins used it as a mosque. At one
point, it was nearly destroyed by war. Turkish invaders used it to store ammunition. An explosion
destroyed the inside of the building.
     The Parthenon stands as a ruin today. Pollution has harmed the outside. Despite the changes over
time, the Parthenon remains one of the most famous buildings in the world.
1. In the long history, the Parthenon had been used as the following except _____.
A. a temple
B. a church
C. a storehouse
D. a mosquito net
2. Why didn't the Greeks rebuild the Parthenon for thirty years after the Persian invasion?
A. They were unwilling to rebuild it.
B. They had no money to rebuild it.
C. They were angry with Athena for allowing the invasion.
D. They had sworn an oath not to rebuild.
3. What caused the temple to lie in ruins? 
A. Passing of time, lack of money and people's neglect.
B. Passing of time, an explosion and pollution.
C. An explosion, a volcanic eruption and an earthquake.
