标题: 关于prep2-89的of，怎么没看见有人问~~~请大家帮忙

89.(29225-!-item-!-188;#058&004220)

Complex human traits such as artistic talent or social skill are likely to be shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the 80,000 or so genes in the human genome.

(A) such as artistic talent or social skill are likely to be shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the 80,000 or so

(B) such as artistic talent or social skill are likely shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of 80,000 or so of the

(C) such as artistic talent or social skill is likely to be shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of 80,000 or so of the

(D) like artistic talent or social skill is likely to be shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the 80,000 or so

(E) like artistic talent or social skill are likely shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the 80,000 or so
此题的答案是A，笔记上解释说B中的两个of意思不对了，实在不解，怎么就能根据原句判断基因到底应该是多少了呢？？

其实很简单
不在于数量多少，而在于数量的表达方式

80，000个左右的基因
应该表达成 the 80，000 or so genes
而不应该表达成80，000 or so of the genes

如果没有写出明确数量，只有模糊修饰，如a number, a lot, 那么要加of
a number of genes, a lot of genes
如果写出明确数量，那就不能加of，只能是80，000 genes, 不能说 80，000 of genes

谢谢您的回答，如果是想表达80000个左右的基因那没问题肯定是The 80，000 or so genes，此时的意思是总共就80，000左右的基因，但B的意思是80，000只是更多基因的一部分，两者意思是不同的吧？？笔记上说这么说不是不合理...
