In that terrible earthquake,      who were killed was more than 60,000.
A.a large number peopleB.the number of people
C.a number of peopleD.many people
B

试题分析:考查固定词组。The number of…“…的数量”做主语的时候,谓语动词用单数形式;a number of“许多,大量”修饰可数名词复数形式,做主语的时候,谓语动词用复数形式。本题的who were killed修饰先行词people,故系动词was说明主语是单数形式。故B正确。句意:在那次可怕的地震中,被杀死的人的数量超过了6万。故B正确。
点评:The number of…“…的数量”做主语的时候,谓语动词用单数形式;a number of“许多,大量”修饰可数名词复数形式,做主语的时候,谓语动词用复数形式。
