Question

 Canada is a country ________ many different nationalities as well as one with foreign immigrants __________ the majority of its population.

A. making up of; occupied with                 B. consisting of; making up

C. made up of; consisting of                                      D. consisted of; taking up

Answer

B

【解析】

试题分析:句意：加拿大不仅是一个移民占人口大多数的国家，也是一个由许多不同民族组成的国家。make up 组成，占比例；consist of 由……组成；be made up of 由……组成，be occupied with 忙于，take up从事，占地方。句中第一个空格处做后置定语修饰country，而consist of是不及物的动词短语，不能用过去分词表示被动，而be made up of只能用过去分词表示被动，排除A、D选项；第二个空是with复合结构，根据句意可知是immigrants占人口的比例，用动词make up，故答案选B。

考点：考查动词短语辨析。
