Almost all foreigners【C1】______to find the city wreathed in yellow-gray mist for most of the year. Dickens, who was.【C2】______responsible for painting this【C3】______in people’s minds, certainly wasn’t exaggerating in those days, People【C4】______in the nineteenth century that when someone.【C5】______suicide by jumping into the Thames he has chocked by the fog and poisoned by the terrible【C6】______of the river before he had time to drown himself. In fact, the situation【C7】______in recent years. When I was a boy in London city 30 years ago I was often unable to see【C8】______of the road when I left home on winter mornings.
    The decisive steps that have turned London into one of the【C9】______cities in the world【C10】______taken at the end of the 1950s. But Londoners still【C11】______that fog【C12】______returns.

【C17】
选项 A、numbers
B、number
C、amount
D、quantities
答案D
解析 浯法结构题。空格后的oxygen决定了所选择的短语是能修饰不可数名词的。a number of表示“许多”的意思，只能修饰可数名词，所以A、B项不正确；amount(s)of虽只能修饰不可数名词，但强调总数和合计额，与此空格上下文的意思不符，所以C项也不正确； quantity of或者quantifies of可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词，意为“大量的，大宗的”，与此空的意思相符，所以D项为正确答案。
