Question

A team _______20 members.
A.consists of
B.made up of
选B,为什么不用A?
答案没打错.

Answer 1

[例如] One year consists of 365 days．
一年有365天.
The team consists of 10 members．
这个小组由10个成员组成.
[辨析] consist of; make up; be made up of
consist of常用整体作主语,表示“整体由部分组成”,引申为“包含有”,不能用于被动语态.make up用部分作主语,表示“部分构成整体”,用于主动语态；如果用整体作主语,必须用被动结构be made up of,这时可以和consist of互换.另外,make up还可以表示“化装；编造”.
A是对的呀!
