Question

【题目】During the earthquake，three________houses got broken and________people became homeless.

A. thousand；thousands of

B. thousands；thousands of

C. thousands；thousands

D. thousands of；thousands of

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】句意：地震期间，三千所房屋被毁，数千人无家可归。考查数字表达法。hundred、thousand、million等概数词前面有具体的数字时，用其单数形式；没有具体的数字时与of连用，用其复数形式，即hundreds/thousands/millions/of，表示“成百上千的”“成千上万的”等概念。根据句意语境，可知选A。
