问题描述：
The population of this city_________ (be) about 5000000
In that country,45% of the population ______ (live) in rural areas.
答
lives
直接加lives即可，
答
is
答
问题的是 is ,因为主语是The population ,视为单数
第二是live 因为主语是45% of the population ,视为复数
答
is
lives
population是单数，表示人口数量。分数和百分数作主语时，谓语动词根据of后面的名词作决定，这里of后面是population，是单数，所以用lives。希望我能帮助你解疑释惑。
