单选题 It was a big celebration — ______ people gathered at the city square.
  • [A] five thousands
  • [B] five thousand
  • [C] thousands
  • [D] thousand of


【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 考查数词的表达。hundred(百)、thousand(千)、million(百万)等数词的用法有两种,一种是“数词+hundred/thousand/million+名词复数”,一种是“hundreds of/thousands of/millions of+名词复数”,两者之间不能混用。事实上,前一种表达的是一种确定的数量,而后一种表达的则是约数或概数。
