主谓一致考点剖析与高分技巧+同步练 讲义
主谓一致是高考频繁考查的重要考点之一,在备考中,需要掌握其命题规律与答题技巧。
一、高频考点剖析
1.当or,nor, either...or,neither...nor,not only ...but (also)等连接并列主语时,谓语动词与邻近的主语保持一致。
【典例】Either my teachers or our headmaster ________ (be)to hand out the prizes to those gifted students in the meeting hall tomorrow.
解析:is。“Either...or...”连接的是并列主语,故空格处应与our headmaster保持一致,结合语境可知,is符合题意。
2.当and连接的并列主语指同一人、同一物、同一概念或and连接的并列主语前有each,every,many a,no等修饰时,谓语动词使用单数。
【典例】The writer and teacher ________ (go)through millions of ups and downs since he moved to Sydney.
解析:has gone。空前的两个名词指的是同一个人,故空格处用单数形式,结合关键词since和语境可知,空格处应用现在完成时。
3.当动名词(短语)、不定式(短语)或主语从句作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。
【典例1】Memorizing hundreds of English words ________ (be)always a big headache for many students.
解析:is。动名词短语“Memorizing hundreds of English words”作主语,谓语动词用单数形式,结合语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时。
【典例2】(改错)What I liked best were the free high-speed Internet connection in the room.
解析:were→was。主语从句“What I liked best”作主语,谓语动词应用单数形式,故were改为was。
4.当“a (large)quantity of+可数名词或不可数名词”作主语时,谓语动词常用单数,而“(large)quantities of+可数名词或不可数名词”作主语时,谓语动词常用复数。
【典例】It is reported that large quantities of drinking water ________ (need)in the earthquake-hit area every day.
解析:are needed。“large quantities of drinking water”作主语,谓语动词用复数形式,而主语是动作的承受者,结合句尾的状语和语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时的被动语态。
5.当单复数同形的名词works,means,species,sheep,deer,Chinese,Japanese等作主语时,前有a,such a,this,that,each,every等修饰时,表单数含义,谓语动词用单数;当这些词前有all,these,many,those等修飾时,表复数含义,谓语动词用复数。
【典例】So far, every possible means ________ (use)to prevent the air pollution there.
解析:has been used。主语“every possible means”是承受者,且是单数概念,结合句首的状语和语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时的被动语态。
6.当主语后跟有but,except,including,like,with,as well as,along with,in addition to,rather than,together with等内容时,谓语动词的数要与前面的主语保持一致。
【典例】The father as well as his three children ________ (go)skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter.
解析:goes。空格处作为谓语动词应与主语father保持一致,结合语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时态。
7.当“more than one/ many a +单数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
【典例】It is reported that many a new house ________ (build)at present in a disaster area.
解析:is being built。主语是“many a new house”,谓语动词应用单数形式;主语是动作的承受者,结合语境可知,空格处应用现在进行时的被动语态。
8.“the number of +复数名词或复数代词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数;“a (good/ large)number of+复数名词或复数代词”作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
【典例】Last week, the number of people invited ________ (be)fifty, but a number of them________ (be)absent for different reasons.
解析:was;were。“the number of people”作主语时,谓语动词用单数,而“a number of them”作主语时,谓语动词用复数,结合时间状语可知,两个空格处应用一般过去时。
9.当“part/ the rest/ 分数/ 百分数/ most/ some/ half+ of+单数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,of之后是复数名词时,谓语动词应用复数形式。
【典例】One third of the country ________ (be)covered with trees and the majority of the citizens are black people.
解析:is。根据语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时,而“分数+of +单数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,故填is。
【知识延伸】population的用法不符合这一规律,该词单独作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,前有分数或百分数等一类词时,谓语动词使用复数。例如:
The population of our village is twice as large as that of theirs. 我们村的人口是他们村的两倍。
Two thirds of the population is living below the poverty line there. 在那里,三分之二的人口生活在貧困线以下。
10.当定语从句的关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词应与先行词保持一致。
【典例】This is the only one of the oldest customs that ________ (keep)up in this district up to now.
解析:has been kept。one是定语从句的先行词,关系词在从句中作主语,故空格处用单数形式;关系词是动作的承受者,结合句尾的状语和语境可知,空格处应用现在完成时的被动语态。需要注意的是,如果one之前没有“the only”修饰,则customs是先行词。
11.当题干是强调句型时,即“It is/ was +被强调部分+ that/ who +其他”,如果对主语强调时,谓语动词与被强调部分保持一致。
【典例】It is what the pupils do in their spare time that really ________ (prepare)them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up.
解析:prepares。题干整体上是强调句型,对主语从句“what the pupils do in their spare time”进行了强调,而主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;结合语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时。
12.当题干是倒装句时,需要判断出句子的主谓结构,谓语动词的单复数形式仍与句子的主语保持一致。
【典例】In front of my house ________ (live)a famous musician, who seems to have settled into life in China.
解析:lives。表示地点的介词短语位于句首时,句子采用全部倒装结构,空格处作为谓语动词应与主语musician保持一致,结合语境可知,空格处应用一般现在时。
二、高分技巧点拨
涉及主谓一致的考点时,试题往往结合动词时态和语态进行考查,因此在分析题干时,一方面需要结合好主谓一致的相关知识对谓语动词的单复数形式进行推敲判断,另一方面还需要结合语境对空格处所使用的时态或语态的种类进行分析,不可顾此失彼,二者需要兼顾,这样才能敲定答案,提高答题的准确率。
