超简单英语问题!

Science has made ___ since the last part of the twentiet century.

A.great advance B.great advances C.a great progress D.great
progresses

一定要说出为什么！！！

Answer 1

选择B
这道题是辨析progress和advance的区别
progress是不可数名词，所以用a 和加复数的progresses都肯定不对
而advance是可数名词，A用原型不对，B的复数正确
例句：
The student is showing rapid progress in his studies.
这个学生学习上进步很快。
The ship made slow progress through the rough sea.
船只在汹涌的大海中缓慢前进。

There have been great advances in medicine in the last ten years.
在过去十年里，医学取得了巨大的进步。
The date of the meeting has been advanced from Friday to Monday.
会议日期已经从星期五提前到星期一。
It is a popular show, so advance booking is essential.
这是个很受欢迎的演出，所以一定要提前订票

Answer 2

advance做发展讲时是一个可数名词。应该用make great advances；
process做名词时是不可数名词，正确的填法应该是make great process。
因此选B

Answer 3

选择D.great progresses

make progress 是固定的短语 意为“取得进步”

Answer 4

当然是B， 表示进展时， advance是可数名词， progress不是

Answer 5

B
