About ________ of the earth ________ covered with water, but we have less and less fresh water.

A.three-fourth; are B.three-fourths; is C.three-fourth; is D.three-fourths; are

 

B 【解析】 句意:地球的四分之三被水覆盖,但是我们的淡水却越来越少。 考查分数的表达和主谓一致。英语的分数表达是基数词做分子,序数词做分母;当分子是一时,分母用单数,当分子大于一时,分母用复数;故3/4的表达是three fourths。分数做主语时,谓语动词的形式要根据分数修饰的名词来决定;当分数修饰的名词是复数时,谓语动词使用复数,当分数修饰的名词是单数,谓语动词使用单数(population除外,population做主语谓语动词使用单数;前有分数修饰时,谓语动词使用复数);本句中the earth是单数,可知谓语动词使用is。故选B。
