一、China has the biggest population in the world.中国是世界上人口最多的国家。 【考点精讲】
population是一个集合名词，意为“人口”。
(1)population常与定冠词the连用，作主语时，谓语动词常用第三人称单数形式。eg： The world's population is increasing faster and faster.全世界的人口增长得越来越快。 (2)当主语是表示“人口的百分之几、几分之几”时，谓语动词用复数形式。eg： About seventy percent of the population in China are farmers.中国大约有百分之七十的人口是农民。
(3)有时population可用作可数名词，其前面可用不定冠词。eg：
New York is a big city with a population of over 10 million.纽约是一个有一千多万人口的大城市。
(4)表示人口的“多”或“少”，不用“much”或“little”，而要用“large”或“small”。eg：
Singapore has a small population.新加坡人口少。
(5)询问某国、某地有多少人口时，不用“How much…？”，而用“How large…？”；问具体人口时用“What's the population of …？”。eg：
How large is the population of your hometown? 你们家乡有多少人口？
