Question

It is reported that nearly              foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year, and a third of them came from China.

A. nine thousand                         B. nine thousands

C. nine thousand of                      D. nine thousands of

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：句意：据报道去年将近九千名外国小孩参加了英国的寄宿学校，其中三分之一来自中国。nine thousand 9千；nine thousands形式不对，thousand跟数词连用时，不用复数形式；nine thousand of形式不对，不跟of 短语；nine thousands of形式不对。因此应选A。
