1. D。at the age of seventy在七十岁时；若表示“他七十几岁时”用in his seventies。

2. D。表示“在某人几十多岁”时，用in one’s +逢十的基数词的复数形式。

3. D。表示在几十年代，用the加逢十的基数词的复数(写作s或’s)；表示“在某人几十多岁”时，用in one’s +逢十的基数词的复数形式。

4. A。当hundred, thousand, million等前面有基数词或several等修饰时，不用复数；另外，many一般不与这类词连用，若表示许多百 / 千 / 百万之类的意思时，用hundreds / thousands / millions of 表示。

5. A。由cave是单数可知，不选基数词，要用序数词；序数词前面用the。

6. C。2 / 5是two fifths；主语含分数、百分数时，谓语动词的数与分数、百分数后面的名词的数一致。

7. A。dozen的用法与hundred, thousand, million等用法相同，当前面没有基数词时，在后面加s，同时加上of。dozens of许多。顺便说一句，score与这几个词的的用法略有不同，前面有基数词时，也加of。如three score of eggs(60个蛋)。

8. A。suggest和have不可接sb to do sth，排除B和C；前有several或别的基数词时，dozen后不加s。
