沈阳查字典中考网:2013年沈阳中考英语复习每日一练11月27日数词专练答案及解析:
1.错。应为:1107 should be read as one thousand one hundred and seven.
解析:在读数字时,如:and前只有百或千时,用one hundred/ one thousand 还是a hundred /a thousand全是可以的。但如果文有百又有千时,则只能用one不要用a。如果没有and时,如:1100也只能读作one thousand one hundred 或eleven hundred.
2.错。应为:I drove about half a mile.
解析:半小时为half an hour,半天为half a day,半镑为half a pound,尽量避免用half a year, half a month,要用six months, two weeks 或fifteen days 要注意的是Half of the work is done?Half of the books are sold. 当Half 作名词时,其谓语动词要看of后面的名词而定。
如名词是不可数名词则用单数谓语动词,如是复数名词时,则要用复数谓语动词。要注意的是一个半的表达法,如:One and a half apples is left on the table. 其名词要用复数,但谓语动词则要用单数。
3.错。应为:Sixty students are playing on the ground.
解析:在句首的数字要用文字而不要用阿拉伯数字,如数字过大则应放于句中,用阿拉伯数字。如:There are 166 students playing on the ground.
4.错。应为:He became famous in his fifties.
解析:in his fifties 50多岁时,而in the fiflies 在50年代。
