[参考答案]
Dear Jim,
I_am_so_excited_that_you’ll_come_to_China and stay with me for a week during the summer vacation.
I’ll be free since June 18th and will have plenty of time to be with you.
When you come, please take a plane to Changsha. I’ll meet you at Huanghua Airport and then we’ll catch a bus to my home. The weather here in summer is very hot, so you needn’t take many clothes. During your stay here, I’ll take you to some places of interest, so that you can know about the customs and recent development here. I’m sure we’ll have a very good time together.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

a large quantity of(或quantities of)+名词(可数或不可数)“大量的”;能接可数与不可数名词的短语还有:a lot of, lots of“许多的”,plenty of“许多的”,some“一些”。

This factory has quantities of water pipes.这家工厂有大批的水管。
[指点迷津]
①“a large quantity of+名词”充当主语时,其谓语动词的数取决于of后面的名词;接不可数名词时,其谓语动词亦用单数,反之,用复数。
②“quantities of+名词”充当主语时,其谓语动词总是用复数形式。
As a result of destroying the forests, a large ______ of desert ______ covered the land.
A. number; has B. quantity; has
C. number; have D. quantity; have
解析:a large number of通常修饰可数名词,a large quantity of修饰可数名词和不可数名词,desert是不可数名词,答案要在B和D中选择;本题句子的主语是desert,谓语动词要用单数,故B项正确。

C. belongs D. belongs to
解析:belong是vi., belong to是及物动词短语,但也没有被动形式,可除去A、B选项。本题考查的belong后又没有宾语,所以不选D项,故C选项是正确的。

Now comes the chance.现在机会来了。
③副词out, in, on, down, away等置于句首时
Out rushed the boy.那个男孩冲了出去。
④表示地点的介词短语如:in front of, in the distance等置于句首时

A. to have studied
B. to study
C. to be studying

③when(=since; considering that; if)既然;考虑到;如果
④while(=although)尽管

A. whom B. where
