It is not rare in ____ that people in ____fifties are going to university for further education.
A.90s, the
B.the 90s, /
C.90s, their
D.the 90s, their
答案:D
此题第一空考查年代表示法。英语中 “年代”用数词的复数形式表示, 前面需加定冠词, 例如:八十年代:the eighties/ 80s/ 80’s, 但不可以写成eighty’s。第二空考查年龄的表示法。in one’s fifties “五十多岁”;in one’s late fifties“五十七、八岁”;in one’s early fifties“五十二、三岁”。“in + one’s +基数词的复数”表示“某人几十多岁时”也是高考中有关数词的命题热点。
