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

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。

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.
