专家观点：
1. 徐广联在《大学英语语法讲座与测试》（华东理工大学出版社）中表示，a quantity of 只能修饰不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。

A quantity of 间或也可以修饰可数名词，例如，A quantity of baskets were on sale.
2.张怀信在《英语高考活用图解辞典》（延边大学出版社）中讲到， a large/small quantity of 大量的/ 少量的（可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词），例如，I need a large quantity of oil (apples). quantities of 大批的，大量的，例如，Large quantities of polluted water are flowing into the sea. 该书所附〈语法祥解篇--- 主谓一致〉还明确指出“在以上（a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of + 名词）的词组后面的名词是中心词，谓语动词根据后面的名词的数而定”。

3 ．顾南华在《中高级英语考试指南》（华中工学院出版社）中说，a quantity of, quantities of 可跟可数名词与不可数名词, 并举有三例：There is a large quantity of milk. Great quantities of fish are caught on the high sea. Large quantities of water are needed for cooling purposes. 在452 页讲到“a quantity of + 不可数名词”，谓语只用单数，“quantities of + 可数与不可数名词”，谓语要用复数。

4 ．章振邦在《新编英语语法》（上海译文出版社）212 页中讲到，a quantity
of 既可用于复数可数名词，也可用于不可数名词。

例如, A large quantity of flowers were heaped on the martyr’s tomb. A large quantity of beer was consumed. Quantities of food were on the table.
5. 刘锐诚在《学生使用英语高考必备》（中国青年出版社）中认为，a quantity of + 名词[C,U][+ 单或复数动词] ，quantities of + 名词[C,U] [+ 复数动词] 。

6. 张鑫友在《英语语法难题新探（句法篇）》（中国地质大学出版社）529 页中说，在…a large quantity of…等短语后既可接复数可数名词，亦可接不可数名词。

在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时，其谓语动词通常跟of 后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。

综上所述，结论就是：
1 ．a quantity of 后既可接复数可数名词，亦可接不可数名词。

在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时，其谓语动词通常看of 后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。

如果是接不可数名词，则谓语用单数形式，如果是接复数可数名词，则谓语通常要采用复数形式（※偶而接单数式谓语，属非规范用法，宜慎用。

）
2 ．quantities of 后既可接复数可数名词，亦可接不可数名词, 后面的谓语都用复数形式。

举例证明：
1．On January 18, a large quantity of coloured photopaper, dried seafood, canned abalone, audio equipment and antibiotics worth HH$16million were found in four 40-foot containers, bound for…( In
brief--- China Daily, HK Edition, 20050122,P2)
2．Besides, a large quantity of mail bags were found. ( US nationals arrested for DVD piracy---China Daily, 20040731, P1)
3．An undetermined quantity of weapons and ammunition were also seized, the spokesman said. (Raid in karbala and shots fired in Baghdad ---China Daily, 2003102, P1)
4．…and a small quantity of dangerous drugs were seized. (Travel scheme causes concern in HK---China Daily, 20030822, P2)A
5． A quantity of fake certificates and official stamps were also seized. (Police seize 59 in major gang smash, 20030403) ※
6 . “…and a large quantity of drugs is reading different segments of society.”Wang said. (Zzzicit drug dealers executed----China Daily, 20030627, P2)。
