选择题
The fact that so many people still smoke in public places ______ we may need a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the risks of smoking.
A．suggest
B．suggests
C．suggested
D．suggesting
答案
答案：B
题目分析：考查时态和主谓一致。本句的主语是the fact。同位语从句that so many people still smoke in public places解释the fact的内容。故谓语动词与the fact保持一致，使用单数形式。句意：很多人仍然在公众场所抽烟的事实说明我们需要一次全国的运动来提高人民对于抽烟的危险的意识。故B正确。
点评：时态的考查要放在上下文语境中进行要抓关键的时间状语。本题的谓语动词和the fact保持一孩子。
