A. Three thousand, in
B. Thousands, on
C. Many thousand, in
D. Thousands of, on
答案:
A. Three thousand, in
B. Thousands, on
C. Many thousand, in
(答案→)D. Thousands of, on
解析:hundred 、thousand这些量词前面有数字的,如two thousand ,thousand后面绝不能加s;,表示具体数字。如果后面加s,前面则不能有数字,表示一个模糊地数字概念。
在表示时间时in表示一个大致的时间范围,on则表示在具体的某一天。根据题意,前面人们的数量时模糊概念,只表示多。后面五一劳动节晚上是具体的某一天,所以选D。
