问题补充:
There are five on the floor.
A. pieces of papers
B. pieces of newspapers
C. piece of papers
D. newspapers
答案:
A. pieces of papers
B. pieces of newspapers
C. piece of papers
(答案→)D. newspapers
解析:paper作“纸”讲时,为不可数名词。一张纸a piece of paper,两张纸two pieces of paper。Paper作主语,谓语动词用单数;但当paper被piece修饰时,谓语动词与piece的形式保持一致。但A中的paper加s是错误的。Newspaper为可数名词,故选D。
