2025年重庆城市管理职业学院高职单招高职单招英语2016-2024年参考题库含答案解析（图片大小可自由调整）一、单选题(共50题)1、Idon'tthink（）shouldbeallowedtodrive.(1分)A、sixteenyearoldB、sixteen-year-oldsC、sixteenyearsoldD、sixteensyearold正确答案选项：参考答案：B解析考查复合名词。句意为：“我认为十六岁的青少年不应该被允许开车。”分析句子结构可知，宾语从句的主语应该是sixteen-year-old,在英语中，有时候可以省略名词，只用其作定语的形容词去代表这一类人，同时，名词后的复数标志“-s”需要加到形容词后，所以“sixteen-year-olds”是名词性短语，在这里指的是“满16岁的青少年"。故选B.
