You may well think this list of functions【C2】______  in order of importance but, if so, you would not be【C3】______ agreement with the majority of the reading public.【C4】______ the two broad kinds of newspapers, the popular and the quality, the former【C5】______  a readership of millions, while the latter, only hundreds【C6】______ thousands. Yet the popular papers seem largely【C7】______ for entertainment. Their news coverage contains【C8】______ comment and persuasive language. The quality newspapers【C9】______ a much higher value on information and a much【C10】______ one on entertainment.
     It is not only in content【C11】______ the two types of paper differ. There is a【C12】______  in the style in which the articles 【C13】______ . The popular papers generally use more dramatic【C14】______ .with a lot of wordplay. Their reporters tend 【C15】______ shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary. This 【C16】______ that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker 【C17】______ , though probably not for a non- native speaker.
     In order to decide【C18】______ a newspaper is a quality or popular one,【C19】______ is not even necessary to read it, since you can tell simply by the【C20】______ it looks. Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page. They have bigger headlines and more photographs. The articles are shorter and there are fewer per page.
【C8】
选项 A、a number of
B、many of
C、a lot of
D、a few of
答案C
解析 因为a number of，many of和a few of后面只可跟可数名词复数，又因为comment and persuasive language是不可数名词，所以A 、B 和D 错误。由于a lot of后既可跟可数名词，也可跟不可数名词，故C 为正确答案。
