The number of the students in our school _________ 600, but a number of students _________ living in the school.
A.is, likeB.is, likesC.are , likeD.are, likes
A

试题分析:此题的重点考查a number of和the number of 的基本区别。a number of与the number of,它们修饰名词作主语时,谓语的数是不一样的。a number of为量词短语,表示“许多……”,中心词是这个短语所修饰的复数名词,所以作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。the number of表示“……的数量”,中心词为number,指的是of后边名词的数量,数量是个抽象概念,因此谓语动词用单数。根据语境可知此句的含义是我们学校的学生数量是600,大多数人喜欢住在学校,故选A。
点评:the number of和a number of的关键点是做主语时,谓语动词的选择。到底用单数还是用复数。这个问题只要学生稍微心细一点,问题就能够很容易的解决。
