8、There has been an increasing number of         in primary schools in the past few years.
A. man teacher                  B.men teacher
B. man teachers                D.men teachers
【解析】D  在名词修饰名词时,不论被修饰的名词时单数还是复数,作定语的名词一律用单数形式,但由man或woman作定语修饰名词时,其单复数形式由它后面的名词来决定。而teacher在a number of(接复数名词)后面应该为复数形式,,所以man也应该相应的改为复数形式men,故选D。

【解析】C    incompetent assistant of yours是双重所有格结构,被该结构修饰的名词前可用不定冠词,但一般不用定冠词,如:可以说a pen of Mikes,但不可以说the pen of Mikes,所以A不选。而不定冠词a/an通常指多个助理,不合题意,不选B。D引导从句,不选。C项of短语修饰的名词前可以有指示代词this/that,表示某种感情彩。故选C。
