_____the teachers in their school is about 200 and one fourth of them are _____ teachers. A．A number of; women B．A number of; woman C．The number of; women D．The number of; woman

Answer 1

C
试题分析：A
number
of若跟；一些；许多。The
number
of……的数目。Women是woman的复数形式。句意：他们学校的老师的数目是大约200人，他们的四分之一是女老师。如果用man/woman做定语修饰名词，在变复数形式时，必须两个名词一起都变成复数。故选C。
点评：英语中大部分单词做定语修饰名词时都用原形，但是woman这个词比较特殊，所修饰词变复数同时，woman也要变成复数。相同用法的还有man和child，需要牢记。
