问题补充：
参考答案:1.C2.C 答案是不是错了??

Answer 1

没错，in a lot of expenses 是固定搭配，这属于介词的固定用法，没有什么好解释的，只有积累。
第二题，work是不可数名词，所以不能用a great many或many修饰，故A,D错，a great deal,所以B错

Answer 2

in a lot of expenses 是固定搭配
WORK是不可数，应用MUCH，没有a great many搭配

Answer 3

The large houses are being painted,but at a great expense
这所大房子将要被绘制，但费用高
Computers can do great deal of work in a short time,but a man cannot do much by himself

我选B，B，太难解释了，靠感觉，感觉说得顺口。

Answer 4

是。。首先第一题不可能是C。。

Answer 5

1 B but at sth
2 B
