The number of children who have lost parents to AIDS-----to rise to over 26 million in 2011

Question

A.are expected B. is expecting C.are expecting D.is expected
怎么理解，选哪个啊？

Answer 1

选D.is expected
be expecting to do “期望”的意思。
be expected to do "预计…”的意思。
例1. He is expecting to discuss with you about your purchasing plan for next year.
他希望能同贵方讨论明年的采购计划。
例2. The process is expected to take two years.
整个过程预计需要两年时间。
这道题的意思是：因艾滋病而痛失父母的儿童数量预计在2011年将增长致260万人以上。
所以应该选be expected to do"预计…”,因为句首"the number of"是单数形式，所以后面要用is expected to 而不是are expected to.
答案选D。
希望能帮到你:)
