Question

【题目】In this area, ___________ of the land ___________ covered with trees and flowers.

A. two fifths; are B. two fifth; is C. two fifths, is D. two fifth; are

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】句意：在这个地区，五分之二的土地被树木和鲜花覆盖着。考查分数表达和主谓一致。英语中的分数表达，前面的基数词表分子，后面的序数词（复数）表分母，可排除BD两项。be+过去分词表示被动语态，two fifths of the land是单数第三人称，系词需用is。根据句意结构，可知选C。
