______  adults began to learn English in this small town.

A.Thousand of

B.Thousands of

C.Thousand from

D.Thousands from

答案

答案:B

当hundred,thousand这些词与具体数字连用时,习惯上用单数,而且也不后接介词of。如:He was prepared to pay two million. 他愿意支付200万。当这些词不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,则不仅要要用复数,而且要后接介词of,然后才能接名词。如:The sun was shining. Thousands of people were lying on the beach. 阳光灿烂,数以千计的人躺在海滩上。
