Question

The fact that so many people still smoke in public places ________ that we may need a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the risks of smoking.(2011·江蘇)

A．suggest B．suggests C．suggested D．suggesting

 

Answer 1

B

【解析】考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。句意：許多人仍然在公共場所吸煙的這一事實表明我們也許需要開展一場全國范圍的運動來提高人們對吸煙的危險性的認識。將題干中that引導的同位語從句去掉可以清楚地看出空格處作謂語。因為主語The fact為第三人稱單數名詞，且此處表示的是目前的狀況，故謂語動詞應用一般現在時的第三人稱單數形式。
