前面的几个人的回答,有的是对的但似乎都还是不那么完整.
我的答案分别是：前一题为B,后一题是C比较好,但B也可以.
我的看法是：
1.前一题应该比较没争议,但强调一下,”a number of”虽可以翻译为”许多”,但更应该翻译成”一些”.
2.后一题如果选A,那题目的句子应去掉”the”成为”A great many
buildings were….”；而题目的”buildings”是可数名词,显然不能用D的”Agreat deal of”(只能用在不可数名词)；答案B与C虽然都也可翻译为”许多”,但B的强烈程度不如C(见前面1的说明),所以如果有前后文来比对,才能说B或C哪个对,换个说法答案C表达了灾情惨重,答案B则表示是有”一些”房屋被冲倒.

1. B. a number of 很多，大量的。the number of ...的数量
很多游客被大树周围蝴蝶的数量震惊了。
2. B.
a great many 直接加名词
a great deal of 接不可数名词

The 是修饰可数词，而A是修饰不可数。故第一题选D
第二题选C，词组

1,选B，a number of,大量，许多，the number of，。。的数量，句意：许多游客被围绕着大树的蝴蝶的数量震惊了。
2，选C,a great many of+the+名词，,大量的。句意：在印度尼西亚许多建筑在海啸中倒塌。
