标题: og5之迷惑

5.
Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly
2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.

(A)
as old as any of their supposed

(B)
older than any of their supposed

(C)
as old as their supposed

(D) older than any of
their supposedly

as old as their supposedly

答案是B没有异议。只是想知道any of their 指代的是什么。为什么要用any？

谢谢

any of their 中的 their 指代 the megalithic monuments'

any用来强调指的是很多个中任何一个。

如果是指代the megalithic monuments ，表示应该是强调整体概念吗，为什么用their？
谢谢

any是指the megalithic monuments中的任一个，不是表示整体概念，所以monuments 是复数，当然要用their

Choices A, C, and E do not state the comparison logically. The expression as old as indicates equality of age, but the sentence indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years. In B, the best choice, older than makes this point of comparison clear. B also correctly uses the adjective supposed, rather than the adverb supposedly used in D and E, to modify the noun phrase Mediterranean predecessors.

我有疑惑: but the sentence indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years.

这里题目中怎么看出i这些monuments 是predate的? 如果选A, 表示这些monument是与地中海那些同样年龄的也应说的过去啊. 哪位能解惑一下?

1. 原题中的意思说明monuments是predate的

2. 如果要表达和后面的一样老, 而且是一样的2000年那么老, 就应该写成: 2000 years old, as old as....

2000 years as old as...这种表达是错的.

不得不佩服这解释，还担心历史知识的问题呢，现在解决了，ETS出题是公平的
