答案为A。 【解析】 在million，hundred等前如果有具体数字或several等词时，要用单数形式。many一般不与million等词连用。在表示不确切数目时用复数，例如：表示“数百万”，英语为millions of。译文：每天，世界上有百十万人通过email传递信息。
例7、________ of the land in that district ________covered with trees and grass.
A. Two fifth...is B. Two fifth...are C. Two fifths...is D. Two fifths...are 答案为C。
【解析】 分数的分子用基数词，分母用序数词表示。如果分子大于1，序数词后加-s。分数和百分比作主语时，谓语动词的形式取决于分数和百分数后的名词。句子中的主语land是单数，所以谓语动词要用is covered。
例8、Paper produced every year is ________ the world's production of vehicles.
A. the three times weight of B. three times the weight of C. as three times heavy as D. three times as heavier as 答案为B。
【解析】 表示倍数的词数放在the weight of前，意思是“??重量的几倍”。
例9、 An accident happened at_________ crossroads a few metres away from_______ bank.
A. a…a B. /…a C. /…the D. the…/ 答案为A。
【解析】 at a crossroads表示“在十字路口”，crossroads“十字路口”是复数形式单数用法；bank是可数名词，不能单独使用(要加冠词或复数)，又非特指，不能用the。此处是泛指，前面要用不定冠词a。
例10、Smith _____ me to buy several _____ eggs for the dinner
A、asked…dozen B、suggested…dozens of C、had…dozen D、persuaded…dozens of 答案为A。
【解析】 “dozen +复数名词”前除了用具体数词修饰外，还可以用several, many 修饰，如several dozen people, many dozen students等，dozen 不加s。
