问题 Water
From the beginning, water has furnished man with a source of food and a highway to travel upon. The first civilizations arose(51)water was a dominant element in the environment, a challenge(52)man’s ingenuity. The Egyptians invented the 365-day calendar in response to the Nile’s annual flooding. The Babylonians,(53)were among the most famous law-makers in ancient times, invented laws(54)water usage. Water inspired the Chinese to build a 1,000-(55)canal, a complex system which, after nearly 2,500 years, remains still practically(56)and still commands the astonishment of engineers. But(57)never found complete solutions to their water problems. The Yellow River is also known as "China’s Sorrow"; it is so unpredictable and dangerous(58)in a single flood it has caused a million(59). Floods slowed the great(60)of the Indus River Valley, and inadequate drainage ruined(61)of its land. Today water dominates man(62)it always has done. Its presence continues to(63)the location of his homes and cities; its violent variability can(64)man or his herds or his crops; its routes links him(65)his fellows; its immense value may add to already dangerous political conflicts. There are many examples of this in our own time.
选项 A、many
B、lot
C、much
D、a lots
答案C
解析 量词many, a lot of, lots of和much是一个连续统一体。具体地说，many只修饰可数名词，much只修饰不可数名词，而a lot of和lots of处于两者之间，既可限定可数名词，也可限定不可数名词。lots of比a lot of在口气上更随便些。下面是一些具体的用a lot of和lots of的例子：I remember a lot of things. /A lot of our land is used to grow crops for export./ There are lots of things I could do./ I want lots of food. 英语中没有lot of和a lots of这样的量词，land在此处是不可数名词，因此，唯一合适的选择是much。
