问题 选择题

A.billion

B.billion of

C.billions of

D.Billions

答案

答案:A

题目分析:本题的含义是埃尔维斯-普雷斯利一生所卖的唱片有10亿多张,在英文中表示数量的结构为数词+量的单位(如hundred)+可数名词复数,表示非具体数量的可用量的复数(如hundred)+of+名词,故本题选A。

点评:在英文中应注意数词表示不同数量时所使用的不同形式,表示具体数目时,结构为数字+数量单位+可数名词,如two thousand students表示两千名学生的意思,表示不确定数目时,结构为表示数量单位的复数+of+可数名词复数,如 thousands of students表示的意思为数千名学生,在实际使用中应注意它们所表示的不同含义及区别。

When we think about education and language learning, we are most likely to think of books. Although there are lots of language learning methods, many people still prefer to learn only by using books. So what are the advantages of learning a language from a book?
Here are its advantages: firstly, you can take language books wherever you go conveniently and you can use them whenever you want. Secondly, they are easy to follow because the courses in them are usually planned for you in strict order starting from the most basic concepts to the more complex. Thirdly, if you are unsure of something, you can continue to work on it as quickly as you like. Lastly, books are likely to have a lot of vocabulary and a lot of topics so you will get great value out of a book with lots of materials in it.
Using books to study a language has disadvantages, too. All textbooks and dictionaries usually include some kind of pronunciation guide. These are helpful when there is no other way to learn, but this can't help you practice your pronunciation. With an audio method, you can compare your pronunciation to that of a native speaker. Besides, some words are spoken faster in one sentence or slower in another, so the pronunciation of a word may change according to the emotion or feeling you want to convey. Also, books can’t actually help you hear the language with its unique rhythms spoken by native speakers. With an audio language learning method, you will be able to hear and understand the language better.
Therefore, if you can supplemental(补充)your book with some other language tools, such as audio tapes, internet radio or resources such as music or television, you will have a much better chance of understanding the books' pronunciation guide and using it to get a good grasp of the spoken language.
