二、语法清单
主谓一致
【感知·语法规律】
观察以下课文原句并思考主语与谓语在数上的关系

2. The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope.
3. What we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.
4. Actually, the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work, most of which takes place behind the scenes.
【精讲·语法知识】
一、语法一致原则
此原则是指在语法形式上取得一致, 谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的单复数形式决定。
1. 可数名词单数、不可数名词、单个动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语及表示时间、金钱、度量衡等概念的名词作主语时, 谓语动词要用单数形式。
【点津】what引导的主语从句充当主语时, 有时要以what所指代的词的意义来决定谓语动词的数。
2. 由连接词and或both. . . and连接的名词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及句子作主语时, 谓语动词要用复数形式。
【点津】(1)and连接的两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、同一事物或同一概念时, 谓语动词用单数。(2)由and连接的并列单数主语前若有no, each, every, many a等修饰, 谓语动词要用单数。
3. “名词+as well as, rather than, like, but, except, besides, with, together with, along with, including, in addition to+ 名词”结构作主语时, 谓语动词同第一个名词的数保持一致。
4. “more than one或many a + 单数名词”作主语时, 尽管其意义为复数, 但谓语动词还是用单数形式。
5. 不定代词either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every与thing, body, one构成的复合不定代词作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
【点津】“none of+名词”的主谓一致
若none of后面的名词是不可数名词, 它的谓语动词就要用单数形式; 若它后面的名词是复数, 它的谓语动词用单数形式或复数形式都可以。
6. 由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”构成的短语以及由“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语作主语时, 其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。
7. 在定语从句中, 关系代词that, who, which等作主语时, 其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。
【点津】“one of +复数名词+who/which/that” 引导的定语从句中, 若关系代词在定语从句中充当主语, 谓语动词常用复数形式。若one 前有the only/very/right 修饰时, 从句中的谓语动词用单数形式。

二、意义一致原则
此原则是指谓语动词的单复数形式根据主语的意义而不是形式决定。当主语形式为单数, 而意义为复数时, 谓语动词要用复数形式; 当主语形式为复数, 而意义却为单数时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
1. 有些名词, 如people, cattle, police, trousers等, 没有单数形式, 作主语时, 谓语动词只能用复数。
2. 英语中一些单复数同形的名词作主语时, 应根据其表达的意义来决定谓语动词的单复数形式, 这类名词常见的有sheep, deer, fish, means, species, Chinese, Japanese, series等。
3. 有些集体名词, 如public, family, enemy, audience, government, group, committee, team, media, staff, crew等作主语时, 谓语动词的数要根据其表示的意义而定。如果该名词表示一个整体, 其谓语动词用单数形式; 但当这些集体名词表示集体中的若干个体时, 谓语动词用复数形式。
4. “the +形容词或过去分词”表示一类人时, 谓语动词用复数形式; 当“the + 形容词”指一个人或表示一种抽象概念或品质时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
5. 有些以s结尾表示学科名称的词, 如physics, mathematics, economics, politics等, 以及用作书名、地名、国名、地区名的复数名词作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
6. 表示距离、长度、价值、金额、重量等的复数名词作主语时, 如作为一个整体来看待的话, 谓语动词通常用单数。
7. “a number of+复数名词”作主语时, 谓语动词用复数形式; “the number of+复数名词”作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。

预计在未来几天里,参与该项目的学生数量将会进一步增加。
三、就近一致原则
此原则是指谓语动词的人称和数须与邻近的主语保持一致。
1. 在there be 结构、here 以及表示地点的介词词组位于句首引起的倒装句中, 谓语动词的人称和数应与最近的一个主语保持一致。
2. 当either. . . or. . . ; neither. . . nor. . . ; not only. . . but also. . . ; not. . . but. . . ; or; nor等并列连词连接两个主语时, 谓语动词的人称和数应与邻近的主语保持一致。

【精讲·语法知识】
一、语法一致原则
此原则是指在语法形式上取得一致, 谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的单复数形式决定。
1. 可数名词单数、不可数名词、单个动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语及表示时间、金钱、度量衡等概念的名词作主语时, 谓语动词要用单数形式。
【点津】what引导的主语从句充当主语时, 有时要以what所指代的词的意义来决定谓语动词的数。
2. 由连接词and或both. . . and连接的名词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及句子作主语时, 谓语动词要用复数形式。
【点津】(1)and连接的两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、同一事物或同一概念时, 谓语动词用单数。(2)由and连接的并列单数主语前若有no, each, every, many a等修饰, 谓语动词要用单数。
3. “名词+as well as, rather than, like, but, except, besides, with, together with, along with, including, in addition to+ 名词”结构作主语时, 谓语动词同第一个名词的数保持一致。
4. “more than one或many a + 单数名词”作主语时, 尽管其意义为复数, 但谓语动词还是用单数形式。
5. 不定代词either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every与thing, body, one构成的复合不定代词作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
【点津】“none of+名词”的主谓一致
若none of后面的名词是不可数名词, 它的谓语动词就要用单数形式; 若它后面的名词是复数, 它的谓语动词用单数形式或复数形式都可以。
6. 由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”构成的短语以及由“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语作主语时, 其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。
7. 在定语从句中, 关系代词that, who, which等作主语时, 其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。
【点津】“one of +复数名词+who/which/that” 引导的定语从句中, 若关系代词在定语从句中充当主语, 谓语动词常用复数形式。若one 前有the only/very/right 修饰时, 从句中的谓语动词用单数形式。
8. 由两部分组成的表示衣物或工具的名词作主语时, 如glasses, spectacles, shoes, boots, trousers/pants, compasses, chopsticks, scissors, socks等, 谓语动词通常用复数, 但当这类词被a pair of修饰时, 谓语动词用单数。
9. “kind/form/type/sort/species/series +of + 名词” 作主语时, 谓语动词的单复数形式取决于这些词的单复数而不是它们后面所跟的名词。
【经典练】
I.语法填空
1. He cares so little about his meals that ________ will do so long as it fills his stomach.
【答案】anything
【详解】考查不定代词。句意:他对饮食毫不在意,只要能填饱肚子,任何东西都行。根据前文“He cares so little about his meals (他对饮食毫不在意)”可知,此处表示“任何东西”都可以,应用不定代词anything。故填anything。
2. Being exposed to English frequently ________(able) us to have a good command of this language.
【答案】enables
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:经常接触英语使我们能够很好地掌握这门语言。分析句子可知,所给词“able”是形容词,意为“有能力的”,而句中缺少谓语动词,需将其转换为动词形式。“enable”是动词,意为“使能够”,符合句意,句子主语“Being exposed to English frequently”是动名词短语,视为单数,且句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,因此谓语动词用第三人称单数形式“enables”。故填enables。
3. Walking upright ________(make) it easy to find food or guard against enemies.
【答案】makes
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:直立行走使寻找食物或防范敌人变得容易。题干描述客观情况,要用一般现在时。Walking upright是V-ing结构作主语,谓语要用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。
4. About three-fifths of the work ________(be) done yesterday.
【答案】was
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:昨天大约完成了五分之三的工作。当“百分数、分数+名词或代词”作主语时,要根据名词或代词来决定其谓语动词的数形式,句中名词 the work 为不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数。主语 work与动词 do 是被动关系。故填was。
5. Being at the right place at the right time ________(be) decisive in any style of photography.
【答案】is
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在任何摄影风格中,在正确的时间出现在正确的地点都是决定性的。句子在描述一般性的事实,时态应用一般现在时,主语是单个动名词短语,be动词应用is。故填is。
6. Doing housework ________(be) hard task for him.
【答案】is
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:做家务对他来说是一项艰巨的任务。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,动名词短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,因此空格处是is,故填is。
7. Living in a boarding school ________(make) me independent, which has a great effect on me.
【答案】makes
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:住在寄宿学校使我变得独立,这对我有很大的影响。根据has可知,此处描述现在的一般事实,应用一般现在时。主语是Living in a boarding school,动名词短语作主语,谓语动词应用单数。故填makes。
8. To shut your eyes to facts, as many of you do, ________(be) foolish.
【答案】is
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:像你们中的许多人一样,对事实视而不见,这是愚蠢的。根据do可知,句子使用一般现在时,且动词不定式短语To shut your eyes to facts是主语,表示单一行为,be动词使用is。故填is。
9. Listening to loud music ________(cause) hearing loss in some teenagers by now.
【答案】has caused
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,听大声的音乐已经导致了一些青少年的听力丧失。根据时间状语by now可知,此处表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时。主语是Listening to loud music,动名词短语作主语,谓语动词应用单数形式。故填has caused。
10. In Thursday’s Science Workshop, students tried different experiments with great interest. The most popular ________ was “planets in a bottle”.
【答案】one
【详解】考查代词。句意:在周四的科学研讨会上,学生们饶有兴致地尝试了各种实验。其中最受欢迎的实验是“瓶中行星”。此处用one指代前文提到的experiment,避免重复,句意为 “最受欢迎的一个(实验)是‘瓶中行星’”,故填one。
II.完成句子
1. As is shown in the chart, ________________________________.
如图所示,大约65%的学生支持网上学习。
【答案】about 65 percent of the students argue for studying online
【详解】考查动词短语、时态和主谓一致。“大约65%的学生”作主语,可用“about 65 percent of the students”来表达;谓语“支持”可以用动词短语“argue for”表示,结合从句时态可知,描述一般性事实用一般现在时态,且“百分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词的数与其后名词保持一致,“students”是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式;宾语“网上学习”可用动名词短语studying online作argue for宾语。故填about 65 percent of the students argue for studying online。
2. 散布民族之间不和谐信息的行为是愚蠢的。
To spread ________________________________.
【答案】the disharmony between the peoples is foolish
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致、名词以及介词短语。本句描述客观情况,要用一般现在时。本句以动词不定式作主语,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。“不和谐信息的行为”用the disharmony表示,“民族之间”用介词短语作后置定语,翻译成between the peoples。“是”用is表示,“愚蠢的”翻译成 foolish。故填the disharmony between the peoples is foolish。

【答案】is harmful to
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。设空处意思是对……有害,用固定短语be harmful to,描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语为动名词,be动词用is,故填is harmful to。
4. Two-fifths of the country ________________________________.
这个国家的五分之二的国土被森林所覆盖。
【答案】is covered with green trees
【详解】考查主谓一致和固定短语。本句时态应用一般现在时来陈述客观事实,表示“被……所覆盖”可用短语be covered with,为一般现在时的被动语态,分数Two-fifths修饰的名词the country是单数名词,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,即be动词用is;表示“森林”可用短语green trees,使用复数形式作介词with的宾语。故答案为is covered with green trees。
5. 为了学好汉语,每天阅读有趣的汉语新闻对于来自美国的交换生来说很重要。
To learn Chinese well, reading interesting Chinese news every day ________________________________ .
【答案】is important for exchange students from America
【详解】考查主谓一致和名词短语。根据句意,此处为“reading interesting Chinese news every day”作主语,用 “be + 形容词 + for sb.”结构。“重要的”翻译为 important,“来自美国的交换生”翻译为 exchange students from America。句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,动名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。故填 is important for exchange students from America。
二、意义一致原则
此原则是指谓语动词的单复数形式根据主语的意义而不是形式决定。当主语形式为单数, 而意义为复数时, 谓语动词要用复数形式; 当主语形式为复数, 而意义却为单数时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
1. 有些名词, 如people, cattle, police, trousers等, 没有单数形式, 作主语时, 谓语动词只能用复数。

3. 有些集体名词, 如public, family, enemy, audience, government, group, committee, team, media, staff, crew等作主语时, 谓语动词的数要根据其表示的意义而定。如果该名词表示一个整体, 其谓语动词用单数形式; 但当这些集体名词表示集体中的若干个体时, 谓语动词用复数形式。
4. “the +形容词或过去分词”表示一类人时, 谓语动词用复数形式; 当“the + 形容词”指一个人或表示一种抽象概念或品质时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
5. 有些以s结尾表示学科名称的词, 如physics, mathematics, economics, politics等, 以及用作书名、地名、国名、地区名的复数名词作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
6. 表示距离、长度、价值、金额、重量等的复数名词作主语时, 如作为一个整体来看待的话, 谓语动词通常用单数。
7. “a number of+复数名词”作主语时, 谓语动词用复数形式; “the number of+复数名词”作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
【经典练】
一、语法填空
1. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny — usually two or three cents ________(charge)...
【答案】was charged
【详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意:起初,单份的价格很少是一便士——通常两三分钱被收取……。分析句子可知,设空处为谓语动词,主语“two or three cents”与谓语动词charge之间是被动关系,且根据前文was可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were+过去分词”,表示金钱、价格、时间、距离、长度等复数名词、词组作主语时,一般被看作一个整体,谓语动词遵循意义一致原则,常用单数形式,be动词用was。故填was charged。
2. As is reported in the newspaper, the number of people who ________(go) hungry has been greatly reduced.
【答案】go
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:正如报纸所报道的那样,挨饿的人的数量已经大大减少了。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,句子描述客观情况,用一般现在时;定语从句的谓语动词要和先行词people保持一致,所以使用复数形式。故填go。
3. With more forests being destroyed, huge quantities of agricultural land ________(be) being washed away each year.
【答案】are
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:随着更多森林被破坏,每年都有大量的农田被冲走。“quantities of +名词”作主语时,无论其后接可数名词复数还是不可数名词,谓语动词的形式都用复数形式,此处“huge quantities of agricultural land”作主语,be动词用are与空后的being washed away构成现在进行时的被动语态作谓语。故填are。
4. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain ________(be) about 1.8million.
【答案】is
【详解】考查主谓一致和时态。句意:英国所有多代同堂的家庭总数约为180万。句中主语为the total number,是单数名词短语,谓语动词应用单数形式。且句子描述的是普遍事实及现在的状态,应用一般现在时。故填is。

【答案】was named
【详解】考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:今年5月21日是第一个国际茶叶日,它于2019年11月27日被联合国正式命名。which_______ officially by the United Nations on November 27th, 2019是关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句,which代替May 21st,在从句中作主语,表示单数概念,所填词作谓语要用第三人称单数形式。由于主语不能发出动作,2019是过去的时间,要用一般过去时的被动语态结构was+过去分词。故填was named。
6. Our teacher tells us that physics ________(be) a fundamental subject in science.
【答案】is
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:我们的老师告诉我们物理是理科的一门基础学科。句中physics(物理学)是学科名词,属于不可数名词,作主语时谓语动词需用单数形式。且句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,故be动词用is。故填is。
7. Do you know when the professor and the writer ________(be) to come to give us a speech?
【答案】are
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:你知道那位教授和那位作家什么时候来给我们作演讲吗?根据句意和空后to come可知,此处应用一般现在时表将来。宾语从句的主语是the professor and the writer,指的是两个人,意思是“那位教授和那位作家”,谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are。
8. Every boy and every girl in our country ________(receive) free education.
【答案】receives
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:我们国家的每个男孩和女孩都接受免费教育。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,every...and every...作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,因此空格处是第三人称单数。故填receives。

【详解】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:发展中国家发生的交通事故数量正在增加。第一空,分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句代指accidents,在从句中作主语,所以happen应用复数形式 ,且此处描述的是客观事实,时态用一般现在时,因此谓语动词用happen。第二空,句中主语为“The number of traffic accidents”,“the number of+复数名词”表示“……的数量”,作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;结合语境,此处表示“交通事故数量正在增加”,应用现在进行时,故填is increasing。故答案为happen;is increasing。

【答案】The last ten years has seen great changes
【详解】考查名词短语、动词和时态。根据句意以及提示的内容,此处表示“在过去的十年里发生了巨大变化”使用“无生命名词作主语”,可转述为“过去的十年见证了巨大的变化”,表示“过去的十年”为the last ten years作主语,位于句首单词首字母需大写,表示“见证”为see,结合句意,此处表示已经发生的动作且与现在有关,所以使用现在完成时,表时间的名词短语作主语可看作一个整体,谓语动词为单数形式,即has seen,表示“巨大的变化”为great changes作宾语。故填The last ten years has seen great changes。
3. To my surprise, physics ________________________________.
令我惊讶的是,物理是她最喜欢的科目。

【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据句意,此处表示“是”为be动词,该句描述的是客观事实,所以此处使用一般现在时,主语physics为学科,所以谓语动词为单数is,表示“她最喜欢的科目”为her favourite subject作表语,其中的favourite意为“最喜欢的”作定语修饰subject。故填is her favourite subject。
4. The police ________________________________ a tall dark man with a beard.
警方正在寻找一个高个子、皮肤黝黑、留着胡子的人。

【详解】考查动词。根据句意,此处描述客观事实,所以该句谓语动词使用一般现在时,根据提示词expect,表示“将会进一步增加”可以理解为“有望增加更多”,表示“有望”为be expected to do sth.,主语The number为第三人称单数,所以be动词为is,表示“增加”为increase或者grow,表示“进一步”可以理解为“数字增加更高、更大”为higher或者larger,也可以省略。故填is expected to increase/grow (higher/larger)。
三、就近一致原则
此原则是指谓语动词的人称和数须与邻近的主语保持一致。
1. 在there be 结构、here 以及表示地点的介词词组位于句首引起的倒装句中, 谓语动词的人称和数应与最近的一个主语保持一致。
2. 当either. . . or. . . ; neither. . . nor. . . ; not only. . . but also. . . ; not. . . but. . . ; or; nor等并列连词连接两个主语时, 谓语动词的人称和数应与邻近的主语保持一致。
【经典练】
一、语法填空
1. Not only the students but also the teacher ________(be) fond of sport.
【答案】is
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:不仅学生们,而且老师也喜欢体育运动。陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,not only...but also...连接并列的主语,谓语动词遵循就近原则,与the teacher保持一致,使用is。故填is。
2. Not only ________ I, in the activity, tried something new, but it allows me to take on responsibility.
【答案】have
【详解】考查倒装句和时态。句意:我不仅在活动中尝试了一些新的东西,而且它也让我承担起了责任。not only位于句首,句子要部分倒装,即将助动词/情态动词/be动词提到主语之前,根据句意可知,此处描述过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时,且主语为I,故将have提到主语之前。故填have。
3. Not only the students but also the teacher ________(show) a great interest in playing football.
【答案】shows
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:不仅学生们而且老师都对踢足球表现出极大的兴趣。分析句子可知,句中使用了“Not only...but also...”(不仅…… 而且……)结构,该结构连接两个主语时,谓语动词的单复数要遵循“就近原则”,即与靠近谓语动词的主语保持一致。本句中靠近谓语的主语是“the teacher”(老师),为单数形式。句子描述的是一种当前的状态或爱好,应用一般现在时,因此谓语动词用第三人称单数形式“shows”。故填shows。
4. There ________(be) more than 3,300 public libraries providing this “library’s new O2O (online to offline) path” so far, which reduces the “time cost” for readers significantly and allows them “to realize that reading is a handy part of people’s everyday lives”.
【答案】have been
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:目前,全国已有3,300多家公共图书馆提供这种“图书馆线上到线下新路径”,大大降低了读者的“时间成本”,让读者“意识到阅读是人们日常生活中方便的一部分”。根据时间状语so far可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语是复数名词libraries,助动词用have。故填have been。
5. At the moment, there ________(be) 9,300 openings for nurses across the state, Hochul noted as she hinted that the program may be expanded in the near future.
【答案】are
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:Hochul指出,目前全州有9300个护士职位空缺,她暗示这个项目在不久的将来可能会扩大。句子为there be句型,根据“At the moment”可知,此处描述当前持续的状态,时态应用一般现在时,且主语9,300 openings是复数,be动词应用are。故填are。
6. Here ________(be) this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades——the exact opposite of me.
【答案】was
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这个颇具挑战性的学生以专心致志和成绩优异著称,而我恰恰相反。Here在句首,句子使用完全倒装,本句主语为this challenging student,是第三人称单数形式,且主语后的定语从句中使用了一般过去时,前面的主句中也应使用一般过去时。故填was。
7. Not only Tom but also I ________(see) the new movie tomorrow.
【答案】am going to see/will see
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:除了汤姆,我明天也要去看这部新电影。根据时间状语tomorrow可知,此处为一般将来时,可用will+动词原形结构,或be going to do sth结构;not only… but also…连接并列成分作主语时,谓语动词遵循就近原则,此处应与I保持人称和数的一致。故填am going to see/will see。
8. You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there ________(be) always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important.
【答案】are
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:你可能会认为学习会占用你更多的时间,但实际上总有新的方法可以节省你做日常工作的时间,让你腾出来做最重要的事情。在but后面的分句中,由于that引导的定语从句that can save you time on daily tasks用了一般现在时,它之前的主句there be句型也用一般现在时。there be句型遵循就近原则,主语new ways是复数名词,be动词要用are。故填are。
9. I think either you or she ________(be) wrong, and you'd better go and say sorry to her.
【答案】is
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意: 我认为要么是你要么是她错了,你最好去向她道歉。由 either...or...连接两个人称代词作主语,结合think可知句子陈述客观事实,为一般现在时,根据“就近一致”原则可知,be动词应与she保持一致,用第三人称单数形式is。 故填is。
10. There ________(be) a girl, two boys and two old men sitting in the square.
【答案】is
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在广场上坐着一个女孩,两个男孩和两个老人。陈述事实用一般现在时,且在there be...句型中,be动词通常和最靠近的主语保持一致。be动词距离 a girl最近,所以用单数的is。故填is。
二、完成句子
1. 他的妈妈和爸爸都不会讲英语。
________________________________ speaks English.
【答案】Neither his mother nor his father
【详解】考查连词。句意:他的妈妈和爸爸都不会讲英语。“……和……都不”用并列连词neither...nor...,连接两个并列的名词短语his mother“他的妈妈”和his father“(他的)爸爸”,作主语,且该结构连接两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词遵循就近原则,句首单词首字母大写。故填Neither his mother nor his father。
2. 不仅你,你哥哥也愿意向这个基金捐款。
________________________________ willing to donate money to the fund.
【答案】Not only you but also your brother is
【详解】考查固定搭配和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,“Not only...but also...”,是固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”,连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词遵循“就近原则”,即与靠近的主语保持一致,本句中靠近谓语动词的主语是your brother,为单数,且句子描述的是客观情况,用一般现在时,be动词用is,句首单词首字母大写。故填Not only you but also your brother is。
3. 在这次活动中,我们不仅将从河里收集垃圾,而且我们还将沿着道路种植一些树木和鲜花。(not only... but also句式)
In this activity, we will ________________________________ we’re expected to plant some trees and flowers along the road.
【答案】not only gather rubbish from the river but also
【详解】考查固定句型和动词时态。根据汉语提示,表示“不但……而且……”用not only...but also...,表示“收集垃圾”用动词短语gather rubbish,此处使用动词原形与前文的will构成一般将来时;表示“从河里”使用介词短语from the river。故填not only gather rubbish from the river but also。
4. 你可以用中文或英文写你在中国印象最深的事情。(either...or句式)
You can write in ________________________________ about what impresses you most in China.
【答案】either Chinese or English
【详解】考查名词和连词。either...or ,表“要么...要么”,为固定搭配,表示“中文或英文”应用either Chinese or English,为名词短语。故填either Chinese or English。
5. 我真的希望我们都尽我们最大的努力使我们的地球宜人和平,不仅是为了野生动物,也是为了我们人类。(not only…but also…)
I do hope we all try our best to make our earth pleasant and peaceful, ________________________________.
【答案】not only for the wildlife but also for our human beings
【详解】考查连词和固定搭配。对比中英文句子可知,空格处意为“不仅是为了野生动物,也是为了我们人类”,“不仅……也是……”是固定搭配not only…but also…,“为了野生动物”是for the wildlife,“为了我们人类”是for our human beings,“不仅是为了野生动物,也是为了我们人类”表达为not only for the wildlife but also for our human beings。故填not only for the wildlife but also for our human beings。
