Question

In the traffic accident, an _______ girl was badly hurt this morning.

A．eight-years-old	B．eight year old
C．eight-year-old	D．eight-years old

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：今天早上的交通事故中，一個八歲的女孩受傷很嚴重。eight-year-old八歲的，合成詞相當于形容詞，詞語中都加s,故選C
點評：此類合成詞在英語語法中較常見。對于這類合成詞語間必須用名詞的單數形式，后直接接名詞，相當于形容詞的用法，像本題中如果是表示八歲的孩子們用eight-year-olds的形式表達，這點需要注意。
