名词修饰名词以及连字符的使用的疑问

1 名词修饰名词以及连字符的使用的疑问

老师，您好！

（1）2018年常州中考一模英语试题（任务型阅读理解）

It's increasingly common to see pets at work, especially at smaller companies settings （背景） in New York City. Linkedin has 178 results for "dog friendly" jobs in NY, which probably means they either have one kind of "office dog" or many more employees may bring their dogs in. Big names like Google, Mashable, and Amazon have pet-friendly plans that welcome these companions into the office every day.

通常来说，名词修饰名词，即N1+N2 (N1,N2都为名词），前一个N1用单数，为什么文中使用了...at small companies settings... ? 此处是否有误呢？

是否应改为...at smaller company settings...？请教老师分析！

（2）2018年常州中考一模英语试题（写作）

试卷所给的写作第一句：

It is more than half a year since we became a Grade Nine student. Here is what our school life is like now.

严格来说，是否a Grade Nine student有误？是否应该是a Grade-Nine student？请教老师分析！

为什么文中使用了...at small companies settings... ? 此处是否有误呢？

是否应改为...at smaller company settings...？请教老师分析！

答：companies settings 应改为company settings。例如：

严格来说，是否a Grade Nine student有误？是否应该是a Grade-Nine student？请教老师分析！

答：a Grade Nine student 和 a Grade-Nine student 都不常用。常用 a nine-year sdudent 例如：二年级学生 second-year student（摘自《牛津.外研社英汉汉英词典》）《薄冰英语惯用法词典》指出：在说“一年级学生”、“二年级学生”等时，一般不用 grade,也不用form,而用 year , 如：the second-year students（二年级学生）等。
