Question

There __________a number of books in our school library. The number of books __________ getting larger than last year.

A．is, is	B．is, are
C．are, are	D．are, is

Answer 1

D

解析试题分析：句意：在我们学校图书馆有大量的书籍。书籍的数目比去年变得更大了。此题根据语法知识，there be 句型应该使用就近原则，而a number of books为复数，故第一空应该使用复数；第二空根据the number of做主语为单数。故选D。
考点：考查主谓一致。
