解析:句意:--下课了。--看,有许多的学生正在那踢足球。让我们去加入他们吧。a number of是大量的,等于a lot of后面接名词复数。the number of是……的数量,后面接名词复数,例如:A number of apples are red许多苹果是红色的。The number of students is 2000学生的数量是2000人。a number of…… 许多……或者很多……,谓语动词要用复数e.g. A number of students are playing.很多学生在玩。the number of……的数量 谓语动词要用单数e.g. The number of the students is 50.学生的数量是50。故选B
