Question

【题目】The world's population is growing ___________ and there is ___________ land and water for growing rice.
A.more; less
B.larger, fewer
C.larger, less
D.more, fewer

Answer 1

【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词的用法；句意：世界人口增长的越大，为种植水稻的土地和水就越少。英语中表示人口的多少用large和small；故第一个空应填larger；由于few修饰可数名词，little修饰不可数名词，根据land和water可知，第二个空应用less。故选C。
