Question

My daughter is only ___________. But you are a ______________girl. She can’t understand those passages in the newspaper.

A．five-year-old, sixteen years old	B．five years old, sixteen-year-old
C．five-year-old, sixteen-years-old	D．five years old, sixteen years old

Answer 1

B

試題分析：英語復合詞中的單詞一般為原型,其作用相當于一個形容詞;在表示具體年齡時,year有單復數的變化.句意:我的女兒只有五歲.但是你是一個十六歲的女孩.她不能明白這些報紙中的段落.結合語境可知前文表示具體年齡,下文為復合詞做定語,故選B.
點評：數詞+years+old在句子中一般做表語；數詞+year+old可構成復合詞作用相當于形容詞，一般用作定語。
