D. are; are 参考答案： B 试题分析：考查主谓一致。The number of---做主语后面的谓语动词用单数形式；a number of---做主语后面的谓语动词用复数形式，根据句意可知选B。 【名师点睛】 1.“A number of”的意思是“若干”或“许多”,相当于 some 或 a lot of,和复数名词连用.当它出现在主语前时,谓语动词和主语搭配.必要时,还可以加上形容词great,large,small,good 等.例如： A number of highly qualified scholars have worked in Singapore. A great number of junior college graduates opt for business administration courses. 2.“The number of”和“a number of”一样,跟在后头
