綜合測驗  

Whenever Dalai Lama died, a search began … Another requirement was that he should have large ears, upward-slanting eyes and eyebrows. Besides, one of his hands should bear a mark like a conch-shell. The successful candidate, usually ________ two or three, was then removed from his family to Lhasa to begin spiritual training for his future role.

(A) having aged (B) aging     (C) to age     (D) aged

這題答案是 (D)。 93年學測英文試題第19題

這題的重點 – 如何使用[ age ]來表示幾歲

1.   若是要使用[ age ]來表示幾歲，它的句型如下：

      Be + aged + 數字 + ( years old )

      例句：

      Mrs. Chu likes to teach children who are aged ten years old and above.

      = Mrs. Chu likes to teach children who are aged ten and above.

      = Mrs. Chu likes to teach children aged ten and above. (關係子句省略)

      所以這題的案是[ aged ]。它的句子應該是

      The successful candidate, usually aged two or three, was then removed from his family to Lhasa to begin spiritual training for his future role.

      = The successful candidate, who was usually aged two or three, was then removed from his family to Lhasa to begin spiritual training for his future role.

說明：   1) [ aged ]是形容詞。
