A large number of children ________ standing outside the office when I got there.  The number of the children _____ 2,500.

A．is; are

B．is ; is

C．a(chǎn)re ; is

D．a(chǎn)re ; are

 

【答案】

C

【解析】此題考查a number of與the number of的區(qū)別。它們修飾名詞作主語時，謂語的數(shù)是不一樣的。a number of為量詞短語，表示“許多……”，中心詞是這個短語所修飾的復數(shù)名詞，所以作主語時，謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式。the number of表示“……的數(shù)量”，中心詞為number，指的是of后邊名詞的數(shù)量，數(shù)量是個抽象概念，因此謂語動詞用單數(shù)。根據(jù)語境的含義可知選擇C。

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.

Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（產(chǎn)品）. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.

In some countries, laws（法規(guī)）are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升級）.

Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（組織）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.

The computers then go to schools, charities（慈善團體）and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.
