【解析】
试题分析:英语中两个或多个单词中间可以用短横线连接起来,起一个相当于形容词的作用,这类单词叫做合成词。其一般构成规则就是其构成单词一般都要用原形。句意:房间里坐着一个八十岁的老妇人,在黑暗中看着我。Eighty词首音素是元音,不定冠词用an,选B。
考点:考查合成词及冠词
Elizabeth lived with her six children in a small house. One winter, there was a big flood(洪水) ,and quite a few houses were washed away, but Elizabeth’s house was high enough to escape it.
Elizabeth helped one of the families which had lost everything. She shared her home until the family could build a new house. Elizabeth’s friends could not understand her since she already had so many children to take care.
"Well," Elizabeth explained to her friends, at the end of World War II, there was a poor woman in a town in England .Her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, just like me now .The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, “We won’t be able to have much for Christmas.
