题目内容

    have grown; are
  2. B.
    have grown; is
  3. C.
    has grown; is
  4. D.
    has grown; are
D
试题分析:考查主谓一致: population作主语时谓语动词一般用单数,象第一个空就是单数,但若前面有分数或百分数修饰时,若其后跟的是系表结构,且表语为复数,谓语动词要用复数。第二个空有most of修饰,而且表语是复数,所以be动词是复数,句意:中国的人口已经增加到949年的很多倍,并且大部分人口是农民。选D。
考点:考查主谓一致
点评:在英语中,句子的主语和谓语动词要保持数上的一致关系,叫主谓一致。这种关系通常要遵循下面三条原则:1.语法一致原则。句子的主语是单数形式,谓语动词要用单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语动词用复数形式2.意义一致原则即谓语动词该用单数还是复数取决于主语所表达的内容在含义是单数意义还是复数意义。3.邻近原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数形式,取决于最邻近它的名词、代词或其它词的数。这题考查的是population作主语时谓语的用法。

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — edu??cation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work??ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
