Question

【題目】Zhong Nanshan is in his _________(eighty), but he still loves to play basketball in his free time.

Answer 1

【答案】eighties

【解析】

句意：鐘南山八十多歲了，但是他仍然喜歡在閑暇時間打籃球。

根據(jù)句意，此空表示“80多歲”，固定搭配：in+one’s+基數(shù)詞復(fù)數(shù)，表示不確定的歲數(shù)。根據(jù)括號內(nèi)提示詞，eighty是以輔音+y結(jié)尾，變復(fù)數(shù)要把y變成i再加es，所以空格處填eighties。故答案為eighties。
