Topsail is a famous little boat. It has sailed across the Atlantic many times. Captain Alison will set out at eight o'clock so we shall have plenty of time. We shall see his boat and then we shall say goodbye to him. He will be away for two months. We are very proud of him. He will take part in an important race across the Atlantic.

1. 解析：本题考查一般将来时，提示词是in a day or two，故答案选C。

2. 解析：本题考查的是修饰不可数名词的固定搭配，没有a plenty of ,a great many of这种表达方式，plenty of可以修饰不可数名词也可修饰不可数名词，而a large number of只能修饰可数名词，time不可数，所以答案为C。
