The statistics __________ that living standards in the area have improved drastically in recent times.
A.proves
B.is proving
C.are proving
D.prove
参考答案
D
答案解析
【译文】统计数字证明这个地区的生活水平在近几年里有了显著提高。
【解析】考查动词的时态和数。statistics作“统计学”讲时,用单数,如Statistics is an interesting course。它还可以表示“统计数据”,是复数名词,又如:The recent statistics on marriage are interestin9。句中指“统计数据”, 故D正确。类似用法的还有politics(表示“政治学”用单数,“人际关系”用复数)等。
