0 A/ p/ R. F0 L; k 6、family(家庭), group(小组), police(警察),committee(委员会), team(组), box(盒), audience(观众)等词,可以是单数,也可以是复数,关键要看题目所给的提示,例如:

0 j$ |. F, M9 {6 ?" R) }4 z D. are8 q1 g8 l. f, ?% @' X0 D+ q
解题思路:这道题如果没有后半句I couldn't light a simple one,是没办法解答的。这句话提示了两点:$ | }- l4 N; L8 k6 J( N
(1)时态为"过去时",故B、D已不可能了;" ~2 N8 H3 }/ {3 m( B( }( \0 I
(2)"a simple one"说明是指盒子内的一根根火柴,故答案为C.试想,如果我们把后半句改为 "I had to throw it away", 那么正确答案应是A.& V7 [; m$ ]1 S! _- A
所以,看清题目的提示对于解题是非常重要的。" x+ r/ o! g$ _1 u4 a
