问题 In his eagerness to find a city worthy of Priam, the German archaeologist Schliemann cut through Troy and uncovered a civilization a thousand years older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew.
选项 A、older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew
B、more ancient than the city known to Homer’s heroes
C、older than was the city known to Homer’s heroes
D、more ancient of a city than Homer’s heroes knew
E、older of a city than was the one known to Homer’s heroes
答案 B
解析 A中older和as属搭配不当，D、E中共同的错误有三个：(1)older(more ancient)之后的of属多余；(2)a city是泛指，本处应特指，指“Troy”；(3)than位置不对；B与C比较，有两个优点：(1)ancient指“古老”，在此处比old的含义准确；(2)划线部分和前面的a thousand years共同组成一个后置名词词组修饰a civilization。因此C中补出was，出现句子结构是不必要的；而B避免了此缺陷，且比较也很明确。
