1.The small company used 35 percent of the raw materials, the remaining of which ________ saved for other purposes.
A. is B. are C. was D. were
答案及解析：D
Which指代先行词materials，当the rest在句中作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于后面的名词，如果是名词是不可数名词，用单数。如果是可数名词复数，谓语动词用复数形式。本句中的materials是可数名词复数形式，故选D项。
2.When the headmaster spoke out his plan, the ________ of the students in the class ________ against it.
A．majority; were B．most ; were
C．most; did D．majority ; did
答案及解析：A
句意：当校长说出他的计划时，我们班上多数学生是反对的。“大都数学生”应该表达成“the majority of the students”，或者“ most of the students”；又因为the majority修饰的是复数名词，所以选A。
