选择题
---______ is the population of the town?
---Over 20,000. And a third of the population ____ workers of the car factory.
A.What, are
B.How many , are
C.What , is
D.How many, is
答案
答案:A
题目分析:在英文中,对于人口有多少通常用what来提问,回答语中人口的三分之一表示的是复数概念,故be用are,故本题选A。
点评:在英文中对于人口有多少用what来进行提问,而不用how many或how much,how much对不可数名词提问,如how much water,how many对可数名词提问,如how many people,而what是单独使用,注意它们的使用和区别。
