重点短语

a great deal
大量，许多

We are living close to each other, so I see him a great deal.
我们住得很近，所以我经常碰到他。

联想拓展

量词短语归类:
     修饰可数名词复数的：many, a good/great many, a great/large(small) number of, hundreds (thousands/millions/billions) of, dozens of, scores of。
     修饰不可数名词的：a great/good deal of, much, much of, a large/great amount of。
     修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词的：a lot of, lots of, plenty of, half of, part of, one third of, ...percent of。

温馨提示:

     a great deal 可在句中作状语，修饰动词或形容词和副词的比较级，此时不加of。
     deal用来表示“大量，相当多”时不用 large修饰，而习惯用 great/good来修饰。
     a great deal of表示“许多”时,只能修饰不可数名词。

例题：单项填空

We waited for the report of exam with ______ anxiety.
A. a great deal of            B. a great number of
C. a great many              D. a plenty of
解析：选A。此处anxiety为抽象名词，排除B、C两项; D项应该为plenty of。
