模塊三 語(yǔ)法專(zhuān)練：主謂一致
【考點(diǎn)透視】
在近年高考英語(yǔ)試題中，單項填空部分直接涉及到主謂一致的內容不是十分頻繁，但是這并不是說(shuō)主謂一致不重要，一方面在試題的其他方面有一定程度的體現，另一方面說(shuō)明在今后的單選命題中考查主謂一致的幾率更高。有關(guān)主謂一致的考點(diǎn)主要分布在：語(yǔ)法結構對主謂一致的影響；充當主語(yǔ)的詞匯意義對主謂一致的影響；復合句中的主謂一致等。
主謂一致指的是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與主語(yǔ)在人稱(chēng)和數方面的一致。主謂一致有三項原則，即：語(yǔ)法一致、意義一致和就近一致原則是在特殊情況下對語(yǔ)法一致的補充。這里就一些情況作如下說(shuō)明：
（一）當名詞詞組中心詞為表示度量、距離、金額、時(shí)間、書(shū)名等復數名詞時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)常用單數。如：
Five minutes is enough to do this exercise.
（二）不定代詞each，every，no所修飾的名詞即使以and或逗號連接成多主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍用單數。如：
Each boy and each girl wants to serve the people in future.
（三）不定式、動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
（四）從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)：
1．what引導的主語(yǔ)從句，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞視情況而定。
What we need is more time. / What we need are more teachers.
2．在“one of + 復數名詞 + who / that”引導的從句中的動(dòng)詞用復數，但當one之前有the only等修飾語(yǔ)時(shí)，從句中的動(dòng)詞則用單數。如：
This is one of the girls who were late for the meeting.
This is the only one of the girls who was late for the meeting.
（五）以and連接的兩個(gè)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復數。如：
Walking and riding are good exercises.
但在以下幾種情況中用單數：
1．當被修飾的兩個(gè)單數名詞在意義上指的是同一個(gè)人、物或概念時(shí)。如：
The girl’s teacher and friend is a young doctor.
2．當被連接的兩個(gè)單數名詞表示的是一副用具時(shí)。
A knife and fork is on the table.
（六）有些以-s結尾的名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，根據其意思來(lái)決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數：
1．表示學(xué)科名稱(chēng)的名詞→單數；
2．國家或團體名稱(chēng)→單數；
3．the Olympic Games→復數；
4．當復數同形的名詞，如：means，works等。
Every means has been tried. / All means have been tried.
（七）集體名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，視其意義來(lái)決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數：
1．police，people等名詞→復數；
2．clothing，equipment，furniture等名詞→單數；
3．family，class，public，population等名詞表示個(gè)體時(shí)→單數；表示單位成員時(shí)→復數；
（八）all，most，half，the rest等不定代詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，視其所代的名詞或意思來(lái)決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數。
（九）a lot of/ lots of，a large quantity of等量詞 + 名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數由這些量詞后的名詞決定。如：
A large quantity of people are needed here.
但large quantities of修飾可數或不可數名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。如：
Large quantities of food / books are on the table.
（十）a kind of／kinds of作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數由kind決定，type也是這樣。如：
This kind of men is dangerous. / Men of this are dangerous.
（十一）分數或百分數 + 名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數由分數或百分數后的名詞決定。
（十二）more than one ...，many a ...作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。如：
Many a student has read the book.
（十三）or，either ... or ...，neither ... nor ...，not only ... but (also) ...等連接并列主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與就近的主語(yǔ)一致。
（十四）主語(yǔ)后面跟有like，as well as / with/ along with/ together with，except/ but / rather than， including/ besides/ in addition to等詞組時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)根據主語(yǔ)而定。如：
The teacher together with his students was excited.
【題例精析】
【例1】- Mike, what did our monitor say just now?
- Every boy and every girl as well as teachers who _______ to visit the museum _______ asked to be at the school gate before 6:30 in the morning. （2007南京一中卷）
A. is; is B. are; are
C. is; are D. are; is
【易錯點(diǎn)悟】解答該題的關(guān)鍵是要理解題干結構，把握以every, no, each 等限定的并由and連接的兩個(gè)并列名詞用作主語(yǔ)時(shí)的主謂一致以及定語(yǔ)從句中的主謂一致。
【要點(diǎn)精析】該題為一個(gè)帶有定語(yǔ)從句的復合句，句中作定語(yǔ)的關(guān)系代詞who指代先行詞teachers，為復數，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞該用are；as well as連接兩個(gè)主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要根據前一個(gè)主語(yǔ)決定；由 every, no, each 等限定的并由and連接的兩個(gè)并列名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數形式。
【答案】D
【例2】 What the remote areas need _____ education to children and what the children need _____ good textbooks at the moment. （2007山東棗莊3月交流卷）
A. is; are B. are; is
C. was; were D. were; was
【易錯點(diǎn)悟】解答該題關(guān)鍵是要注意由特殊疑問(wèn)詞what引導的主語(yǔ)從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)的主謂一致關(guān)系。
【要點(diǎn)精析】一般情況下，what引導主語(yǔ)從句，常表示單數意義，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數形式，但當它所指的具體內容是復數意義時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用復數形式。該題強調現在，用一般現在時(shí)態(tài)。

【答案解析】
1．C。“this / the pair of + 名詞”作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數；glasses，trousers，clothes等復數名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞則用復數。
2．B。There be句型中，主語(yǔ)不止一個(gè)時(shí)，遵循“就近一致”的原則，即謂語(yǔ)與鄰近的主語(yǔ)保持人稱(chēng)和數的一致。
3．A。表示國家，組織、單位的名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用單數。
4．C。不定代詞all作主語(yǔ)，指人時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復數；指物時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數。
5．A。“the rest of + 名詞”作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數與中心名詞保持一致，這里which指代the book．故用is。
6．D。the trouble / problem with ...意為“由……帶來(lái)的問(wèn)題；……存在的問(wèn)題”。題中：the trouble為主語(yǔ)部分的中心詞。
7．B。many a(許多) + 單數可數名詞或more than one(不止一個(gè)) + 單數可數名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，常遵循“語(yǔ)法一致”的原則，即主語(yǔ)是單數，謂語(yǔ)也用單數。
8．A。此處improvement是不可數名詞。
9．A。當and連接兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的詞、短語(yǔ)或句子作主語(yǔ)且表示同一概念時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
10．A。police，people，cattle等表示“總稱(chēng)”的名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復數。
11．B。Paul既是我的朋友還是我的同學(xué)，主語(yǔ)指的是一個(gè)人，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數，且根據題意，此處需用一般現在時(shí)態(tài)的主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
12．C。the + 形容詞/ -ing形式/ 過(guò)去分詞(表示-類(lèi)人或事物)做主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復數，但表示一種抽象概念或品質(zhì)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數。題中the beautiful is not always the useful意為“好看的不一定總是有用的”。
13．B。表示時(shí)間、距離、金額數量等的名詞作為一個(gè)整體作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數形式。
14．D。這是一個(gè)倒裝句，主語(yǔ)是復數形式，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。
15．D。be intended to do / for意為“被打算……”。先行詞為one of ...結構時(shí)，定語(yǔ)認句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數形式；先行詞為 the (only) one of ...結構時(shí)，從句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
16．B。關(guān)系代詞作主語(yǔ)，定語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應與先行詞保持人稱(chēng)和數的一致。
17．B。not only ... but also，either ... or，neither ... nor，not ... but等結構連接并列主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數應遵循“就近一致”的原則。
18．B。不定式、-ing形式短語(yǔ)或名詞性從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數。注意：當what引導的從句作主語(yǔ)，且表語(yǔ)為名詞時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數常由表語(yǔ)的數決定。
19．C。答案B、D本身就錯誤的，A表示“……的數目”，C表示“許多”，依據謂語(yǔ)是were，選C。
20．B。本題的要點(diǎn)是half of，the rest of，plenty of修飾可數或不可數名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數還是復數，視具體情況而定。如果of后面是不可數名詞，謂語(yǔ)用單數，如果of后面是可數名詞，則謂語(yǔ)用復數形式。
21．D。本題的變化點(diǎn)是集合名詞若作整體看待，謂語(yǔ)用單數；若看作一個(gè)個(gè)成員時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用復數。
22．B。本題考查知識點(diǎn)是：由 a kind of，this kind of，many kinds of和“名詞+ of this kind”等以及由與kind意義相似的 type，sort等構成的類(lèi)似短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與of前的名詞保持數的一致。
23．A。本題考查知識點(diǎn)是不定式做主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數。句子結構是“疑問(wèn)詞+to do and+疑問(wèn)詞+to do”，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應為復數形式。但如果兩個(gè)疑問(wèn)詞加不定式在句中作主語(yǔ)表示一件事的兩個(gè)側面，則謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
24．A。謂語(yǔ)就近一致。
25．A。名詞性從句作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數。
26．C。定冠詞置于形容詞或分詞前表示“一類(lèi)人”作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。
27．A。主語(yǔ)從句后動(dòng)詞用單數。
28．D。means單復數同形，every means意為“每種方法”，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數形式。
29．C。“many a + 單數名詞”作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數。
30．A。句中的主語(yǔ)是e-mail，不包括as well as telephones。
31．A。此句中的第二個(gè)as引導一個(gè)限制性定語(yǔ)從句，并在從句中作表語(yǔ)。先行詞creature被as修飾，所以定語(yǔ)從句要用as引導。因定語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)是復數名詞all other animals，所以謂語(yǔ)用are。全句意思：盡管螞蟻很小，但它和地球所有其它動(dòng)物一樣都是生物。as much ... as ... 意為“與……一樣多的……”、“與……同樣”。又如：He has as much interest in politics as in history.他對政治與歷史同樣感興趣。 She spent twice as much money on clothing as I do. 她花在衣服上的錢(qián)是我花的兩倍。
32．A。這里由引導的定語(yǔ)從句修飾復數名詞elements，所以定語(yǔ)從句中的that代替的復數意義的名詞，其謂語(yǔ)應該用復數形式；這里談到的是現實(shí)存在的事實(shí)，排除B項。
33．D。everybody是主語(yǔ)。
34．A。plenty of前不應有a，many a 接“單數名詞+單數動(dòng)詞”，quite a little后不能修飾people。
35．A。句中主語(yǔ)是an iron and steel works“一家鋼鐵廠(chǎng)”，謂語(yǔ)應用單數。
36．D。如果and連接的兩個(gè)同是指同一個(gè)人、同一事物或同一概念，謂語(yǔ)一般用單數。
37．B。a large quantity of后面跟的是不可數名詞desert，而且謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是has。
38．B。the education system是主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應用單數；the desired results意為“期望的結果”。
39．B。以s結尾的書(shū)刊名、國名、組織名作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)仍用單數。
40．A。單個(gè)動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數形式。
41．A。each作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數，作同位語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。
42．D。主語(yǔ)部分含有including，with, together with, rather than, as well as, except等短語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)都應與前邊的主語(yǔ)保持一致。
43．A。family，team，government等名詞側重表示整體概念時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數；指成員時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復數。
44．B。“l(fā)arge quantities of +名詞”作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復數；a large quantities of + 名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數由所修飾的名詞來(lái)定。ship此處意為“用船或飛機運輸”。
45．C。each ... and each ...，every ... and every..., no ... no ...,等結構作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數形式。
