题目内容
The number of children losing both parents to Aids ______ also expected to rise.
A. was B. is C. are D. were
B
【解析】
试题分析:考查时态和谓语动词的单复数形式。该句中主语:The number of children losing both parents to Aids宾语:expected to rise.主语是一个事物——即“因艾滋失去双亲的孩子的数量。”这里的数量是看做一个整体,所以用单数的谓语动词。根据语境来看,该句是陈述句语气,描述客观事实,所以用一般现在时。句意:因为艾滋病失去双亲的儿童数目有望上升。故选B。
考点:考查时态和为谓语动词的单复数形式
