附:随机初级英语语法小测
1. Hurry up! We don't have _____ time left.
A. many B. much C. little
答案:B
原文意为“快点,我们没有很多时间了。”many修饰可数名词复数,much和little修饰不可数名词,句中time是不可数名词,据此排除A;“little几乎没有”本身就含否定意义,不用于否定句,故选B。
2.He usually gives me ______ help.

答案:C
many只修饰可数名词复数,a lot不能修饰名词,a lot of可修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词,句中help是不可数名词,故选C。
