The construction was left half done, and _______ of money were wasted.

A．large numbers of	B．a great deal of
C．large amounts	D．masses of

答案

C

解析

试题分析：句意：建筑被剩下一半，大部分钱都被浪费了。a great deal of +不可数名词；large amounts of+不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用复数。large numbers of+可数名词；masses of+可数名词或不可数名词。这里修饰money是不可数名词，但是空格后已有of，故排除ABD,故选C。
点评：本题难度适中。考查一些固定短语的用法是近几年高考的热点，需要考生牢记一些它们的用法，会分析句子的语境进而判断用它们的哪种形式。还需会区分类似的短语的不同用法。
