主谓一致1. Many a student in the class ____ that Jack is the only one of the students who ____ the chance to attend a key university.A. thinks; hasB. think; haveC. think; hasD. thinks; have【答案解析】A【详解】考查主谓一致。
句意：班上很多学生认为Jack是唯一一个有机会上重点大学的学生。
根据“many a + 可数名词单数+ 谓语单数”可知，第一空谓语动词用三单现形式；第二空的主语who代指先行词the only one of the students，也是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用三单现形式，故选A项。
【点睛】本题第二空考查定语从句中的主谓一致，请对比以下两句：Jack is the only one of the students who has the chance to attend a key university. Jack是唯一一个有机会上重点大学的学生Jack is one of the students who have the chance to attend a key university. Jack是众多有机会上重点大学的学生中的一个。
当先行词被one of修饰时，关系代词指代前面的复数名词，即是复数意义；当先行词被the only one of修饰时，关系代词是单数意义，因为符合条件的只有一人。
2. I, who______your close friend, will try my best to help you out of trouble.A. amB. isC. areD. be【答案解析】A【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。
句意：我，你亲密的朋友，将会尽我的全力帮你摆脱困境。
分析句子可知，设空处是定语从句的谓语动词，结合语境可知，此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语who是关系代词，指代先行词I，故be动词应用am。
故选A项。
3. Nothing but several glasses______bought by my father the day before yesterday.A. have beenB. wereC. wasD. would be【答案解析】C【详解】考查主谓一致。
句意：前天，我爸除了几副眼镜什么也没有买。
分析句子可知，设空处是谓语动词，由the day before yesterday判断为一般过去时，but意为“除了”时适用就远原则，即谓语动词根据nothing来确定，nothing是第三人称单数，且此处是被动语态，故be应用was。
故选C项。
4. No one in the department but Tom and I ______ that the director is going to resign.A. have knownB. knowC. knowsD. am to know【答案解析】C【解析】考查主谓一致。
句意：除了Tom和我没有人知道经理要辞职。
本句主语是短语“No one in the depar tment but Tom and I”，谓语动词应该和no one保持一致，所以要适应单数，排除AB项，D项的主语是I，故C项正确。
5. Beneath the books _________ a photo, which showed the city had _________ huge changes.A. were; gone throughB. was; gone throughC. was; got throughD. were; got through【答案解析】B【详解】考查主谓一致和动词词组。
句意：在书的下面是一张照片，它展示出这个城市已经经历的巨大变化。
beneath the books是表示方位的介词短语，置句首，句子使用全部倒装，主语是a photo，故谓语动词用单数，故第一空填was；go through经受，仔细检查，通过；get through 到达，做完，接通电话。
综上，故选B。
6. __________of the land in that district __________ covered with trees and grass．A. Two fifth; isB. Two fifths; isC. Two fifth; areD. Two fifths; are 【答案解析】B【详解】考查分数和主谓一致。
句意：那个地区五分之二的土地上长满了树和草。
分数用“基数词+序数词”表达，分子大于1时，分母用复数形式，序数词加-s；“分数或百分数+名词”作主语时，谓语要和of后面的名词保持一致，题中the land为不可数名词，故谓语用单数形式，分数分子大于1，分母用复数，Two fifths五分之二，故选B。
7. More than one generation of schoolchildren by the scientist’s bravery and his scientific approach to lookingfor the truth in the past century.A. have been amazedB. has been amazedC. were amazedD. was amazed【答案解析】B【详解】考查主谓一致及被动语态。
句意：在过去的一个世纪里，不止一代的学生被这位科学家的勇敢和他寻找真理的科学方法所震惊。
分析句子，简单句中含有现在完成时的时间状语“in the past century”且备选动词和逻辑主语之间表示被动，所以此处应用现在完成时的被动。
故排除C和D。
“more than one+单数名词”作主语，谓语用单数。
故选B项。
8. Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one of the great American novels, ________ first published in the United States in 1885.A. wasB. wereC. has beenD. had been【答案解析】A【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。
句意：马克吐温的《哈克贝利·芬恩历险记》，美国伟大的小说之一，首次出版是在1885年的美国。
根据时间状语in 1885可知，用一般过去时，主语Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用单数，故选A。
9. As you can see, the number of cars on our roads ________ rising these days.A. was keepingB. keepC. keepsD. were keeping【答案解析】C【解析】：句意：正如你能看见的，道路上汽车的数量这些天一直在增长。
keep doing一直做，the number of …的数量，做主语谓语用单数。
故选C。
考点：考查主谓一致。
【名师点睛】在英文的运用中,“the number of”和“a number of”有混淆的现象；它们后面的动词和名词的数常会有问题.在形式上,“the number of ”和“a number of”相差一点点,一个用定冠词the；另一个用不定冠词a.可是在语义和用法上,两者的差别就大了.稍微大意,就会犯了谓语动词和真正主语搭配不当的问题.“A number of”的意思是“若干”或“许多”,相当于some 或a lot of,和复数名词连用.当它出现在主语前时,谓语动词和主语搭配.必要时,还可以加上形容词great,large,small,good 等.例如：①A number of highly qualified scholars have worked in Singapore.②A great number of junior college graduates opt for business administration courses.③There are a large number of teaching posts yet to be filled.④Only a small number of men want to be language teachers.⑤A good number of books in the market are examination-oriented.“The number of”和“a number of”一样,跟在后头的名词也是复数的,不同的是这里的主语是单数的the number,不是它后面的复数名词,谓语动词必须和the number 呼应,如：⑥The number of undergraduates has increased over the years.⑦The number of new houses is unable to cope with the ever-growing population.⑧The number of college graduates in a country reflects its cultural standard.这三个句子里的the number 的性质和下列主语一样：⑨The work of lab technicians is dull but important.⑩The development of a language centre invariably involves long-term planning,adequate human resources,and up-to-date facilities.11.The organisation of large-scale musical concerts calls for much time and energy.写像上面这样句子的人很多,但是由于真正主语和谓语动词隔得太远,一不小心,就出现了动词和主语不呼应的语法错误,如下：12.The number of foreign workers keep on increasing.13.The number of classrooms,offices,and teaching facilities are far from being sufficient.14.The streaming of students in Singapore and Japan differ.15.The cause of student mobs in some countries are related to governments' dictatorship,corruption and ill-treatment of undergraduates.16.The rapid opening up of China's economy in recent years have prompted our businessmen to venture into the Chinese market.12-16里的谓语动词全部要变成单数才对：keeps; is; differs; is related to; has prompted10. Doctors always tell us that drinking too much________our health，but some people don’t care.A. is harm toB. does harmful toC is harmful to D. do harm to【答案解析】C【详解】考查固定短语和主谓一致。
