主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。主谓一致必须遵循三个原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则、就近一致原则。
语法一致原则是指主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致,即主语是单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式,主语是复数形式,谓语也用复数形式。意义一致原则是主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致,即主语形式上为单数,但意义为复数,则谓语动词用复数形式;若主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义,则谓语动词用单数形式。就近一致原则也叫邻近原则,是指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的主语。
考点一 主谓一致的原则
1. 语法一致原则
主要指语法形式上一致,即谓语动词必须在人称和数的形式上与主语保持一致,这一原则多适用于句子主语是名词或代词的情况。
· He is a famous singer.
· The boys who are playing the guitar are my cousins.
· Life is full of the unexpected.
· A sad movie makes me cry.
· Their mother cooks breakfast for them every morning.
2. 意义一致原则
以主语表示的意义来决定谓语动词的单、复数。这一原则多适用于句中主语为集体名词、“the+形容词/v-ed/v-ing”、以-s结尾的名词、what-从句;由and或both...and连接的并列主语;主语为时间、度量、价值、数目等意义的词语、某些不定代词、what、which、who等。
· The class is more than fifty students.(class指班级)
· Generally speaking, the disable need more help.
· Someone is knocking at the door.
3. 就近原则
谓语动词的人称和数与最近的词语保持一致。这一原则多适用于“there be”句型、由or, neither...nor, either...or, not only...but also...连接的并列主语以及倒装句型。
· There is an apple and two pears on the table.
· There are two pears and an apple on the table.

A. are B. aren’t C. is D. isn’t
【答案】B
【解析】句意:厨房里没有鸡蛋了。我需要买一些。考查主谓一致。are是,主语是you或复数形式;aren’t不是,主语是you或复数形式;is是,主语是第三人称单数形式;isn’t不是,主语是第三人称单数形式。此处是there be结构,遵循就近原则;根据“I need to buy some.”可知,本句是否定句,主语是复数形式,谓语用复数形式,因此用aren’t。故选B。

Can I have”可知,第一个设空处是希望得到肯定答复的问句,填something;第二个设空处后“apple juice”是不可数名词,结合“Do you want it?”可知,是有一些苹果汁,设空处前是“There”,遵循就近原则,填is。故选A。

【解析】句意:我们学校的篮球队在篮球比赛中进入了决赛。另一支来自第五中学的队员们表现也很好。考查be动词和集体名词的主谓一致。分析第一处可知,此处表示“球队”的含义,指单数整体,所以be动词使用is;根据“doing very well too”可知,表现好的是队员而不是无生命的球队,所以第二处表示“队员”,指复数概念,又根据“too”可知,此处表示肯定含义“表现得好”。故选C。
35. The police searching the shops on both sides of the street any possible clues.
A. are; for B. are; with C. is; for D. is; with
【答案】A
【解析】句意:警察们正在为任何可能的线索搜查街道两边的商店。根据句意及题干分析第一空主语是集合名词The police,所以谓语动词要用复数are;第二空“为……搜查……”是search...for...,故选A。
考点:考查主谓一致和介词的用法
36. —The homeless ________ so poor that they have nowhere to live.
—Exactly, but to our joy, the local government can ________ them with special places to stay.

【答案】C
【解析】句意:——无家可归的人如此的穷,以至于他们没地方住。——的确,但是让我们高兴的是,当地政府能够给他们提供特殊的住处。考查主谓一致和动词辨析。offer提供;give给;provide提供;afford付得起。the homeless表示所有无家可归的人,表复数概念,因此be动词用are;排除A和D;provide sb with sth表示“提供某人某物”。故选C。
37. The poor ________ getting fewer and fewer in our country these years under the leadership of President Xi.
A. is B. are C. was D. were
【答案】B
【解析】句意:近年来,在习主席的领导下,我国的穷人越来越少。考查主谓一致。根据题干可知“the+形容词”表示一类人,作句子主语时,谓语动词用复数,根据语境和句意可知近年来,中国的穷人越来越少,故时态用现在进行时,所以填are。故选B。
38. The fish ______ for some time. You’d better cook them at once.
A. have been dead B. has died C. have died D. has been dead
【答案】A
【解析】句意:这些鱼已经死了一段时间了。你最好马上煮了它们。考查现在完成时。根据“for some time”可知动词应用延续性动词,而die“死亡”是非延续性动词,排除BC;根据“cook them”可知此处“The fish”是复数,助动词用have。故选A。

A. are; are B. are; is C. is; are D. is; is
【答案】C
【解析】句意:——这是一双鞋。——对。鞋子是黄色的。考查主谓一致。are是,be的复数和第二人称单数现在时形式;is是,be的第三人称单数现在时形式。根据第一个空空后的“a pair of shoes”可知,此处用is;根据第二个空空前的“the shoes”可知,此处用are。故选C。
41. Most of the shoes in the store ________ on sale and this pair of shoes ________ very cheap.
A. are; is B. are; are C. is; are D. has; is
【答案】A
【解析】句意:商店里大部分的鞋都在打折,这双鞋很便宜。考查主谓一致。两处均使用be动词作谓语,第一处“Most of the shoes”作主语,所以选are,排除CD;第二处“this pair of shoes”作主语,是一个整体,故谓语动词使用单数is。故选A。

A. exercise is B. exercise are C. exercises is D. exercises are
【答案】C
【解析】句意:做眼保健操是保持眼睛健康的好方法。考查名词的用法和主谓一致。exercise泛指一般的身体活动时,为不可数名词,在指具体的体操动作或具体练习题时,为可数名词,常用复数形式,此处指做眼保健操,要用复数形式,do eye exercises“做眼保健操”;单个动名词短语作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数,be动词用is。故选C。

【答案】D

主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。主谓一致必须遵循三个原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则、就近一致原则。
语法一致原则是指主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致,即主语是单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式,主语是复数形式,谓语也用复数形式。意义一致原则是主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致,即主语形式上为单数,但意义为复数,则谓语动词用复数形式;若主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义,则谓语动词用单数形式。就近一致原则也叫邻近原则,是指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的主语。
考点一 主谓一致的原则

· The class is more than fifty students.(class指班级)
· Generally speaking, the disable need more help.
· Someone is knocking at the door.
3. 就近原则
谓语动词的人称和数与最近的词语保持一致。这一原则多适用于“there be”句型、由or, neither...nor, either...or, not only...but also...连接的并列主语以及倒装句型。
· There is an apple and two pears on the table.
· There are two pears and an apple on the table.
