Question

After ___ more chatter, the lady returned home.

A．a good deal of

B．a lot of

C．a good deal

D．a good many

Answer 1

C

试题分析：句意：在许多次唠叨之后，这位女士回家了。chatter是不可数名词，因为有比较级more修饰chatter，这四个选项中只有a good deal可以修饰比较级，故选C。选项ABC都可以修饰名词。
点评：本题难度适中。固定短语的考查是近几年高考的热点，不仅在单选里，还出现在完形短文改错中。需要考生平时牢记它们的用法及意义。
即学即练：_______the students in our school go to college in their teens.
A. a good deal of     B. a lot of        C. a good deal    D. a good many of
解析:D。a great many后面直接加复数可数名词；a great many of 后面跟限定语再跟名词。
