Though they have learned great deal, they still 1.__________ have not discovered the causes of volcanic action. “ a great deal ”表示“大量的，许多的”的意思，后面接不可数名词，此为习惯用法，前面不定冠词 a 不能省略。 练习题 1 They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure what causes the great heat. Some scientists now believe that much of heat 1.__________ inside the earth is provided by the radioactive 3 / 6
