选择题
--- Do you mind telling us something about this area?
--- Not at all. ________ of the land in this area _________ covered with trees and grass.
A.Two fifth, is
B.Two fifth, are
C.Two fifths, is
D.Two fifths, are
答案
答案:C
题目分析:根据题干,第一个空是分数。在英语中表示分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子超过一的,分母要加s,故用排除AB;根据本句的主语 the land可知,此处应该用is。所以本题选C。
点评:题需要熟练掌握分数的表达方法;另外,第二个空前面题干比较长,需要认真分析本句的主语是什么,这是较难的。
