1.Painting in （oils) is one of their spare-time activities.
为什么用oils
answer:oils 在此处不是指石油,而是“油画颜料”的意思,颜料是可数名词.而后面的is 的主语是“刷不同颜料这件事”是单数.
2.a great deal 是怎么用的 后面能跟什么
answer:a great deal 后面跟不可数名词,表示“大量的”例如：a great deal of time
a great deal与great deal of的区别 great many与a great many 的区别
answer:a great deal 可以单独使用,也可以用在形容词或副词的比较级前,表示“大量；许多”；而a great deal of只能用在不可数名词前,表示“大量的”.如：We learned a great deal from them.我们从他们那里学到很多东西.
"a great many" 与"a great many of" 区别同上,只不过它们后面跟可数名词.
3.The large houses are being painted ,but (at a great expense)
有四个选项 哪里错了
A.of great expense B.in a lot of expenses
C.at a great expense D.by high expense
answer:"at a great expense 以巨大费用" 固定搭配,其实"at+名词"的短语会含有一定的"以.为代价"意思在里面.其他几个说得都不通的.你可以读读试试,"in+名词"常表示"用什麽方法,手段等"
4.Jim was late for two classes this morning.He said that he forgot both of the (room number).
为什么是room number 而不是room's number

⑵After ten years ,all these youngsters became (grown-ups).
⑶The police investigated those (stander-bys)about the accident
⑷The Nazi kept those (prisoners-of-wars)in their concentration camp.
这四个都是有关这一类的 而每四个答案中【s】都出现在不同的单词后面

answer:这些叫合成名词.它们的复数变化是:在名词后加S,如:comrades-in-arm如果没有名词的话,就直接在后面加S,如:grown-ups.

9.In English-speaking countries,you can't always make yourself (understood) by speaking English.
为什么【understood】在这里用过去式
answer:像yourself 这种反身代词后面都是被动形式.所以是understood.
10.Their plan (proved)to be a perfect one.这里不能用被动语态吗【was proved】

所以不能是was proved,其实这里proved 是过去分词修饰plan.(过去分词是有被动意思,指plan 被提供的.

A.so small B.such little C.so little D.such small
为什么选A

A.live B.lived C.alive D.living
