Answer 1

A

試題分析：考查population的用法以及主謂一致。句意：這個城市的人口40%是德國人，在過去的三年中已經(jīng)增加了15%。population強調(diào)人口是多少時，若作主語，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。population強調(diào)人口的身份或特征，若后面作表語的名詞是復(fù)數(shù)時，謂語動詞則要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。據(jù)題意，第一空中Germans 用復(fù)數(shù)，則謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)，Ｂ、Ｃ兩項可排除，而the population of this city強調(diào)人口，謂語動詞需用單數(shù)，故本題最佳答案為Ａ。
