Question

【题目】I’m surprised that John is only 25. I thought he was ____, for he seems to be in his ____.

A. younger; forties B. younger; fortieths

C. older; forties D. older; fortieths

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

试题分析：句意：我惊奇的是约翰仅25岁。我认为他比这大，因为他看上去像40多岁。40多岁是in one’s forties，前一句说25岁，后面说像40多岁，所以显得老，故填older。可知选C。
