Question

—The population of the world ____ still ____ now.
—So it is.
A. are; growing       B. will; grow        C. is; growing

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：現(xiàn)在世界的人口數(shù)量仍然在增長(zhǎng)。句中The population作為主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞必須用單數(shù)，同時(shí)句中有時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)now，所以用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。故選C
點(diǎn)評(píng)：對(duì)于population一詞作為主語(yǔ)時(shí)，相應(yīng)的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式，同時(shí)對(duì)于The population的提問(wèn)，不能用how much/many，必須用what。
