The aborigines 土著人 have been living in Australia for thousands of years. Their present lifestyle and culture______(differ, differs) little from those of their ancestors. 并请说明一下理由， those 是不是只能指复数啊， 非常感谢！
解题思路： 如下
解题过程：
空格处填differs .此题遵循的是主谓一致中的语法一致原则。
一般情况下,and连接的两个名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式.但有些情况下,and连接的两个名词意指同一人物,同一事物,同一概念时,谓语动词要用单数形式.通常,如果两个名词只有一个限定词或无限定词修饰时,它们常常表示一个概念,如果两个名词分别有两个限定词修饰时,它们往往表示两个不同的概念.如：
War and peace is a constant theme in history.
The secretary and manager was present at the meeting.
His teacher and friend is a beautiful girl.
The poet and writer has come.
lifestyle and culture“生活方式和文化”，指的是同一概念，所以谓语用单数形式。
those代表前面的复数名词，以避免重复，如：
His stories are more interesting than those I told. 他的故事比我讲的有趣。
My questions are similar to those you raised. 我的问题＆你提的差不多。
题干中those 指代lifestyle and culture，属于复数范畴。
最终答案：略
