提示:考查主谓一致和完全倒装。表示方位的介词短语位于句首,主句要形成完全倒装。句子的时态一般为一般现在时或一般过去时。根据You can see that可知这里用一般现在时,the teaching building是单数,所以谓语动词用单数。结合起来填写stands。
答案:stands
2.The father as well as his three children (go) skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态。由时间状语every Sunday afternoon in winter可知这里用一般现在时。另外as well as 是附加成分,谓语动词的单复数取决于前面的名词。所以这里填写goes。
答案:goes
3.Many an American friend (wait) to visit China at present.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。many a(n)修饰可数名词的单数,谓语动词用单数。另外由at present可以推出这里使用现在进行时态。

提示:考查主谓一致。第一空的谓语要填一个单数,因为此宾语从句:...that success a sum of...day的主语是success,一个单数名词,故谓语要用is;后面的句子:often years to achieve的主语也是success,故第二空的谓语也是一个单数形式。
答案:is;takes
5.Now,Zhang’s family (be) rather big and his family (be) fond of popular music.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。第一个family强调的是家庭这个整体,所以谓语动词用单数;而第二个family强调的是家人,所以谓语动词使用复数。根据now这个时间状语可以推出时态使用一般现在时。
答案:is;are
6.Every boy and every girl in the class (invite) last night.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。every...and every...做主语谓语动词使用单数。every boy and every girl和invite之间是被动关系,所以使用被动语态。根据时间状语last night可以推出时态是过去时态。因此结合起来这里填写was invited。
答案:was invited
7.As a result of the serious flood,two-thirds of the buildings in the area (need) repairing.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。分数和百分数修饰名词,谓语动词和名词保持一致。the buildings是复数,所以谓语动词使用复数。另外本句说的是一个事实,所以使用一般现在时。
答案:need
8.The young (tend) to grow independent in modern society.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。the +形容词做主语表示一类人,谓语动词使用复数。另外本句说的是一种社会现状,所以使用一般现在时。
答案:tend
9.It is known that apples of this kind (taste) good.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。名词被 of this kind 修饰谓语动词和名词保持一致。且taste 是一个连系动词,没有被动语态,结合起来这里填写taste。
答案:taste
10.Quantities of fresh water (send) to the flooded area since last night.
提示:考查主谓一致和时态语态。quantities of做主语时谓语动词使用复数。又因为fresh water和send之间是被动关系,所以使用被动语态。根据时间状语since last night可以推出本句使用现在完成时。结合起来这里填写have been sent。
答案:have been sent
