【知识超市】
●What is the population of Beijing 北京的人口是多少
population为不可数名词,意为“人口”。对某地人口多少提问时,用“What is the population of... ”而不用how much或how many;形容人口的“多”或“少”用large或small。
拓展:population是一个集合名词(无复数形式),通常与定冠词the连用,被看作一个整体时,谓语动词用单数形式。population如果强调整体人口中的成员或成分时,谓语动词用复数形式。
做一做:按要求完成下列各题。
( )1.—　　　　is the population of your city
—About two million.(单项选择)
A.How
B.How many
C.What
D.How much
2.The population of Hebei is 74,480,000.(对画线部分提问)
【答案】
1.C
2.What is the population of Hebei
