(2)动名词作宾语的时候,宾语动作的时间和谓语动作的时间是同步的,同时发生或者同时结束。动名词还突出动作的经常性。

(1)主谓一致是英语语法项目之一,指谓语动词在“人称”和“数”上保持一致。
(2)主谓一致包括语法一致、意义一致和邻近一致。
英语中的“主谓一致”,是指句子的主语和动词在“人称”和“数”方面保持一致。也就是说,谓语动词的形式要根据主语人称和数的变化而变化。
主谓一致一般要遵循三个原则,即语法一致、意义一致和邻近一致。
Ⅰ.语法一致原则
若主语为单数,谓语用单数,主语为复数,谓语也用复数。 即主语的单复数决定了谓语动词的单复数。
1.单数主语即使后面带有with,along with,together with,like(像),but (但是),except,besides,as well as,rather than(而不是),including,in addition to 引导的短语, 谓语动词仍用单数。
Air as well as water is matter.
空气和水都是物质。
No one except two servants was late for the dinner.
除了两个仆人外, 没有一个人迟来用餐。
2.单个不定式(短语),动名词(短语),或从句作主语时, 谓语动词用单数。
Serving the people is my great happiness.
为人民服务是我莫大的幸福。
When we'll go out for an outing has been decided.
我们什么时候出去郊游已决定了。
3.用连词连接的并列主语被each,every 或no修饰时, 谓语动词用单数。
Every boy and every girl likes to go swimming.
每个男孩和每个女孩都喜欢去游泳。
No teacher and no student was absent from the meeting.
没有老师也没有学生开会缺席。
4.若主语中有more than one 或many a/an,尽管从意义上看是复数,但它的谓语动词仍用单数。
Many a boy likes playing basketball.
许多男生都喜欢打篮球。
More than one student was late.
不止一个学生迟到。
5.名词如:trousers,scissors,clothes,goods,glasses等作主语时,谓语动词必须用复数,但前面加了a pair of...时,谓语动词用单数形式。
His clothes are good.
他的衣服很好。
[即学活用1]——单句语法填空
①My father,together with some of his old friends, has_been (be) there already.
②More than one answer has_been_given (give) to the question.
③Laying eggs is (be) the ant queen's fulltime job.
④Each man and woman has (have) the same rights.
⑤My blue trousers are worn out.One pair of trousers is not enough.(be)
⑥Many a student has_realized (realize) the importance of learning a foreign language.
Ⅱ.意义一致原则
意义一致原则指不管主语的形式是单数还是复数,主语的意义决定了谓语动词的单复数。
1.主语中有all,half,most,the rest等, 以及“分数或百分数+名词”作主语时,谓语动词单复数取决于连用的名词。
The rest of the bikes are on sale today.
剩下的自行车, 今天出售。
60% of the apple was eaten by the little boy.
这个苹果的60%都被这个小男孩吃了。
Most of the apples were rotten.
大部分的苹果都是烂的。
2.表示时间、金钱、距离、度量等的名词作主语时, 尽管是复数形式, 它们作为一个单一的概念时, 其谓语动词用单数。
Ten miles is a good distance.
十英里是一段相当长的距离。
3.(1)通常作复数的集体名词,包括police,people,cattle 等,其谓语动词常用复数。
The British police have only very limited powers.
英国警察的权力非常有限。
(2)通常作不可数名词的集体名词,包括family,equipment,furniture,clothing,luggage 等,其谓语动词常用单数。
My family is a big one.
我家是个大家庭。
(3)可作单数也可作复数的集体名词,包括 audience,committee,government,family,enemy,group,party,team,public 等。
The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.
委员会决定解雇他。
4.the+“形容词/过去分词形式”表示一类人, 作主语时, 谓语动词用复数。
The injured were saved after the fire.
受伤的人在火灾后得救了。
[即学活用2]——单句语法填空
①Most of the students are (be) boys.
②Most of his money is (be) spent on books.
③Half of the visitors are from Europe.Half of the fruit is bad.(be)
④Five hundred dollars is (be) more than he can afford.
⑤The policeman is standing at the street corner.The police are searching for him.(be)
⑥The young are (be) the vital forces in our society.
Ⅲ.就近一致原则
就近一致原则指谓语动词的单复数形式取决于离它最近的主语的单复数。
1.由here,there等引导的倒装句中,有时主语不止一个时,谓语动词与靠近它的主语在数上一致。
Here comes the bus.
公共汽车来了。
Here is a pen and some pieces of paper for you.
给你一支钢笔和几张纸。
2.用连词or,either...or,neither...nor,not only...but also 等连接的并列主语, 谓语动词与靠近它的主语在数上一致。
Neither the students nor the teacher knows anything about it.
学生和老师都不知道这事。
He or you have taken my pen.
他或你拿了我的钢笔。
◆[名师点津]
主谓一致即谓语动词在人称和数上要和主语保持一致,主谓一致包括语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。语法一致即谓语动词在单复数形式上要和主语保持一致;意义一致就是谓语动词要和主语意义上的单复数保持一致;就近一致就是谓语动词要和靠近它的主语部分的单复数保持一致。

[综合性]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In American English, when someone says he has to “face the music”, it doesn't mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car.She says, “Please don't drive it.It's an extremely fast car.” But you want to pretend the car is yours.So, you drive it around one night.As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign.When your friend returns, you must “face the music”.It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.
In 1851, the writer James Fenimore explained “face the music”.In a theater the orchestra (管弦乐队)sits in front of the stage.So, the actors on stage face the musicians.Many actors are very nervous, and this condition is called “stage fright”.They may want to run away.“Facing the music” means accepting it and not giving in to it.
Word experts say “face the music” may come from the army.A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团)because of the serious mistake in the war.The army drummers would play a sad beat.The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.
To “take your medicine” is to accept the bad result from something you have done.And if someone says, “You made your bed.Now lie in it.”he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it.“Pay the piper” is also similar to “face the music”.But it's fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”.
There are many idioms(习语)in the English language, whose real meanings are largely based on the context.Don't read only with your eyes, or you would make a fool of yourself.
[语篇解读] 本文为一篇说明文,介绍了一些英语习语,并告诉我们如何在语境中理解它们。
1.In Paragraph 2, “face the music” probably means ________ .
A.accept the bad result
B.go to a concert
C.refuse to repair the car
D.pretend the car is yours
解析:A [细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.(可能是失去了她的友谊,或者支付她的汽车修理费,或者两者兼而有之。)”可知,“face the music”在第二段中表示“接受坏的结果”。故选A。]
2.What can we know about the soldier in the text?
A.He wanted to be a cavalry officer.
B.He would play the drum in the army.
C.He must have done something terrible.
D.He would be punished by the army drummers.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry because of the serious mistake in the war.The army drummers would play a sad beat.The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.(一名士兵可能因为战争中的严重错误而被迫退出骑兵部队。军队的鼓手会演奏悲伤的节拍。士兵会向后坐在马上,面对着鼓声。)”可知,士兵一定做了糟糕的错事。故选C。]
3.Which is different from the other expressions in meaning?
A.Pay the piper.
B.Take your medicine.
C.Lie in the bed and enjoy music.
D.You made your bed.Now lie in it.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“To ‘take your medicine’ is to accept the bad result from something you have done.And if someone says, ‘You made your bed.Now lie in it.’he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it.‘Pay the piper’is also similar to ‘face the music’.But it's fun to ‘lie in the bed and enjoy music’.(‘take your medicine’是接受你所做的事情带来的坏结果。如果有人说‘You made your bed.Now lie in it.’他的意思是你制造了一个糟糕的局面,你必须处理它。‘Pay the piper’和‘face the music’也很相似。但‘lie in the bed and enjoy music’很有趣。)”可知,Pay the piper.Take your medicine.及You made your bed.Now lie in it.均为消极含义,而Lie in the bed and enjoy music.为积极含义。可知,C含义与其他选项含义不同。故选C。]
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The great fun of learning English idioms.
B.The origins of some useful English idioms.
C.Some interesting stories from English idioms.
D.Understanding English idioms in the context.
解析:D [主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“There are many idioms in the English language, whose real meanings are largely based on the context.(英语中有许多习语,它们的真正含义很大程度上取决于语境。)”及全文内容可知,本文介绍了英语中的一些习语,并告诉了我们这些习语在特定语境下的真正含义,因此,这篇文章主要讲在语境中理解英语习语。故选D。]
B
Knowing how to read, write and talk in one language is enough for many people. They prefer to focus their energy on other things that improve their lives. Scientists, however,continue to confirm that bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages fluently, has more benefits than many realise.
First, it's good for a child's brain. Learning a second language improves their academic achievements.Many studies have shown that children who learn a foreign language get better grades at school. Bilingual children also display a better facility for their native language. Their grammar, vocabulary and spelling skills are stronger than those of singlelanguage speakers. Children who learn a second language become expert problemsolvers and creative thinkers. That's because their brains are constantly working to sort out which language to speak and when. Studies further show that bilingual teens are better at multitasking.
Multilingual parents understand the benefits of learning more than one language. Ben Mazor of Montreal speaks English, French and Hebrew. He says,“Kids' brains are like a sponge (海绵). They absorb everything. It comes to them so easily while they're young. So why not give them the chance to learn another language?”
A number of studies show that bilingualism is valuable to the brain later in life. Scottish researchers did a study using data from 835 native English speakers, who took an IQ test at the age of 11. They were tested again in their 70s. Researchers then compared the results of the tests. Those who spoke two or more languages had obviously better cognitive (认知的) abilities. Dr Thomas Baka, coauthor of the study, concluded,“Our results suggest a protective effect of bilingualism against agerelated cognitive decline.”
So,who would refuse the benefits of learning a second language?
5.What does the underlined word “facility”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Ability. B.Interest.
C.Taste. D.Method.
6.According to Paragraph 3, what may parents like Ben Mazor do?
A.Learn foreign languages by themselves.
B.Spend more money on homeschooling.
C.Involve kids in foreign language courses.
D.Help kids absorb knowledge like a sponge.
7.What have the Scottish researchers proved about bilingualism?
A.It extends one's life.
B.It improves test scores.
C.It cures brain disorders.
D.It slows mental ageing.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Learning Betters Human Brains
B.Bilingualism Shows Great Advantages
C.Language Opens a New World to Kids
D.Bilingualism Leads to Academic Success
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明,会说两种语言对我们有很多好处。
5.A [词义猜测题。根据画线词后的Their grammar,vocabulary and spelling skills are stronger than those of singlelanguage speakers.可知,这些孩子在语法、词汇和拼写能力方面比说单一语言的孩子更强。由此可推知,画线词所在句表示会说两种语言的孩子在使用母语方面也表现出更好的能力,facility意为“才能”。故选A。]
6.C [推理判断题。根据本·马佐尔说的话So why not give them the chance to learn another language?可推知,像本·马佐尔这样会说多种语言的家长明白掌握多种语言的好处,他们可能会让孩子参加外语课程。故选C。]
7.D [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Our results suggest a protective effect of bilingualism against agerelated cognitive decline.可知,研究表明,会说两种语言有助于延缓认知衰退进程。故选D。]
8.B [主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要介绍会说两种语言对我们有很多好处,故Bilingualism Shows Great Advantages为本文最佳标题。故选B。]
