()5.— is the population of Canada?
—It is smaller than that of China.

A.How large
B.What
C.How much
D.How

5. B 【点拨】询问有多少人口用“What's the population of...?”。故选 B。

【分析】
拿到这道题首先判断题干是特殊疑问句，结合答句“它比中国的人口更少”，可知问句核心是询问加拿大的人口数量。接下来我们可以先回忆英语中针对population提问的固定搭配，再逐个比对选项排除错误项，就能快速选出正确答案。
【解析】
我们对每个选项逐一分析：
1. 选项B：英语中询问某地人口数量的标准固定常用结构为"What is the population of + 地点"，代入题干完全匹配，符合表达规范。
2. 选项A：How large不属于该提问人口的固定句型的标准开头用法，不符合本题考查的搭配要求。
3. 选项C：How much通常用于询问物品价格，或是对不可数名词的数量进行提问，不能用于修饰population，不符合要求。
4. 选项D：How用于询问做事的方式、事物的状态程度，代入问句语义不通。
综上，正确答案为B。
【答案】B
【知识点】疑问词辨析，人口表达固定句型
【点评】本题的易错点是容易按照中文思维误选A选项，很多同学会下意识觉得人口描述用“大小”就选how large，需要牢记询问人口的固定句式"What's the population of..."，规避中式英语的错误表达。

这是一篇短文语法填空题，解题时首先通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍名画《清明上河图》以及它的3D版本相关内容，之后逐空结合语义、固定搭配、词性转换、时态、非谓语动词等考点逐一推导：第一空先回忆和hear搭配表“听说”的常用短语；第二空前有不定冠词an，需要把给出的art转换为对应职业的身份名词；第三空主语是单数的画作，描述客观事实要匹配正确的一般现在时谓语形式；第四空前有限定词both，后面接可数名词必须用复数形式；第五空回忆表“挤满”的固定短语结构；第六空回忆名词chance的常用搭配，用不定式作后置定语；第七空描述3D画面里元素正在运动的状态，匹配现在进行时的正确结构；第八空回忆see的复合结构用法，see sth doing表示看见动作正在发生；第九空需要把给出的动词转换为形容词修饰后面的时间名词短语；第十空回忆表“亲自”的固定短语，最终确认所有空的形式都符合语义和语法要求。
【解析】
1. 固定短语hear of意为“听说”，完全符合“几乎每个人都在课堂上听说过这幅画”的语义，故填of。
2. 不定冠词an后接可数名词单数，此处指代宋代的一名艺术家，把表示“艺术”的art转换为职业名词artist，故填artist。
3. 主语The painting是第三人称单数，此处描述画作承载的客观内容，用一般现在时，谓语动词用shows，故填shows。
4. 限定词both指代两者，后面接可数名词要用复数形式，side的复数是sides，此处指河的两岸，故填sides。
5. 固定搭配be crowded with意为“挤满了……”，符合“路上挤满了形形色色的人”的语义，故填with。
6. 固定搭配a chance to do sth.意为“做某事的机会”，用不定式作后置定语修饰名词chance，故填to feel。
7. 此处描述3D版画作里的人、动物、船只正处于运动的状态，用现在进行时，主语是复数，be动词用are，move的现在分词是moving，故填are moving。
8. 固定结构see sth. doing sth.意为“看见某物正在做某事”，此处指能看见河水正在流动，flow的现在分词是flowing，故填flowing。
9. 此处需要形容词修饰后面的名词短语two months，follow的形容词形式following意为“接下来的”，in the following two months表示“在接下来的两个月里”，故填following。
10. 固定搭配by oneself意为“亲自”，此处指你可以亲自感受宋代民众的生活，故填by。
