用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
1. The population of China (be) over 1.4 billion now.
2. India has got a (large) population than any other country in the world.
3. Do you know that about 74% of the population in Singapore (be) Chinese?

1. is 2. larger 3. are

【分析】
本题考查与population相关的英语语法，需分小题分析：第1题主语the population指中国人口整体，结合时间状语now确定一般现在时的be动词形式；第2题有比较级标志than，需用形容词比较级；第3题population前有百分数修饰，强调部分概念，be动词用复数。
【解析】
1. 主语the population表示“人口”，此处指中国的人口整体，为单数概念，时间状语now表明时态为一般现在时，因此be动词用is。
2. 句中出现比较级标志词than，形容词large需变为比较级形式larger，符合“比较级+than any other...”的比较结构用法。
3. 当population前有分数、百分数修饰时，强调的是“人口中的一部分”，为复数概念，此处时态为一般现在时，因此be动词用are。
【答案】
1. is 2. larger 3. are
【知识点】
主谓一致、形容词比较级、一般现在时
【点评】
本题为初中英语基础题型，围绕population的主谓一致规则及形容词比较级的用法命题，知识点明确，难度较低，需准确掌握相关语法细节。
