关于名词的题,5.The police____ on the track of the criminal.A.is B.

5.The police_B.are_ on the track of the criminal.
A.is B.are C.being D.was
police和people一样,是集合名词,后面用复数.
8.As soon as we saw this face,we knew the _C.news was_bad.
A.news were B.new were
C.news was D.new was
new是形容词,是“新的”的意思.news不是new的复数.news是不可数名词.所以后面应用单数.
9.I will need_C_ about the climate before I make the final decision.
A.a few informations B.a little informations
C.a little information D.a few informatio
information是不可数名词,不能加s.而a few修饰可数名词,a little才是修饰不可数名词的.所以用a little 修饰information.
10.Every_A.means has_ been tried.
A.means has B.means have
C.mean has D.mean have
means意为“方法”,它的单数是means.复数也是means.而前面又有every,所以应是单数,所以用has.
12.Now the staff_D.are_ not happy with their new working conditions.
A.is B.was C.were D.are
staff（全体职员）和people一样是集合名词,所以用作复数.
14.The young couple bought _B.some new furniture _for their living room.
A.some new furnitures B.some new furniture
C.many new furniture D.many new furnitures
furniture是不可数名词,所以不能加s.

A 单数，现在
C news不可数，谓语动词用单数
C information不可数，用a little
A means“方法”，不可数，谓语动词用单数
A 单数，现在
B furniture不可数，many不修饰不可数名词
我都挺确定的，错了不要喷。-_-|||
