主谓一致
主谓一致
项目
内容
主谓一致是指句子中的谓语动词必须在人称和数上与主语保持一致。这是
定义
英语语法中最基本也是最重要的原则之一。
主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数:主语为复数形式,谓语动词用复数。
语法一致原则①The book is on the desk.(主语单数,谓语单数)②The books are on
the desk.(主语复数,谓语复数)
谓语动词的单复数取决于主语所表达的意义,而非其语法形式。
意义一致原则①The news is exciting.(news形式复数,意义单数)②The police are
looking for the thief..(police形式单数,意义复数)
谓语动词的单复数与最靠近它的主语部分保持一致。常见于“there be”
句型及“not only..but also.”、“either..or.”、neither..nor.”等并列结构
中。
就近一致原则
①There is a pen and two books on the desk.(靠近的是apen)②Not only
the students but also the teacher is going to the park.(靠近的是the
teacher)
由连接词连接and/both.and.连接两个单数名词作主语,谓语用复数,但指同一人时用
的并列主语单数;either..or.neither..nor.not only..but also.遵循就近原则。
1 Both Tom and Mike are good at football.2 A teacher and a writer are
coming to our school.3 The singer and dancer is on the stage.4Either
you or he is wrong.5 Neither the students nor the teacher knows the
answer
这些连词连接的名词不影响主语的数。谓语动词的单复数应与这些连词前
含有with等连的“真正主语”保持一致。
词的主语①The teacher,together with his students,,is planting trees..②No one
except his parents knows the truth.
al/most/sone/half/the rest of/part of+名词:谓语由of后名词决定;
each/either/neither/another/the other作主语用单数;none of..可用单数或复
数;the number of..用单数,a number of..用复数。
不定代词作主①All the water has been used up..②All the students are in the classroom,
语
③Each of the students has a dictionary.④Neither answer is correct..⑤
None of the money is mine.6None of the passengers were hurt.7 The
number of students is increasing.8A number of students have passed the
exam.
表示时间、距离、金钱、重量、长度等的复数名词作主语,通常被看作一
表示时间等复个整体,谓语动词用单数。
数名词作主语①Ten years is a long time.②Five hundred dollars is not enough for the
dress.
关系代词who/which/that作主语时,谓语动词应与先行词保持一致。

Passage A
The magic of cinema has always been its ability to transport us to different worlds,but how is this
magic actually created?The answer lies in the seemingly simple but profoundly complex art of editing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that editing is the final rewrite of a film.
Before a single frame is cut,the editor is handed hundreds of hours of raw footage.This mass of
material,known as "dailies,"often contains multiple takes of the same scene,each with subtle
differences in performance,camera angle,and lighting.The editor's first task is to review this
mountain of footage,taking notes on what works and what doesn't.It is a process that requires
immense patience and an almost photographic memory.
The editor's true power emerges during the assembly of the "rough cut."This is the first version of
the film where the story is told in its most basic form.Here,the editor must make critical decisions
about pacing.A scene that feels too long can drag down the entire narrative,while a scene that is cut
too short can leave the audience confused.The rhythm of the cuts-whether they are fast and janring
for an action sequence or slow and lingering for a dramatic moment-dictates the emotional pulse of
the film.
However,the modem editor's toolkit extends far beyond simply choosing which shot comes next.
They are deeply involved in the film's sound design.They work to layer sound effects,ambient
noise,and dialogue to create a rich,immersive world.A simple scene of a character walking down a
street can be transformed by the subtle addition of distant traffic,footsteps on pavement,and the rustle
of leaves.Furthermore,the editor collaborates closely with the composer to ensure that the film's
score perfectly amplifies the emotional impact of each scene.A single note held for a few seconds can
change the entire meaning of a character's silent glance.
Perhaps the most unsung aspect of the editor's role is their work as a story doctor.When a narrative
has a logical flaw or a character's motivation is unclear,the editor often works with the director to
reshoot scenes or,more subtly,to rearrange existing footage to fix the problem.By removing a single
line of dialogue or adding a short flashback,the editor can guide the audience's understanding and
ensure the story holds together.In this sense,the editor is the last line of defense against a confusing or
incoherent film.
Ultimately,the editor is the audience's first and most critical viewer.They must watch the film
countless times,always with fresh eyes,to ensure that every cut serves the story.It is a job that
demands technical skill,artistic vision,and a deep understanding of human emotion.The next time you
are captivated by a film,remember that its magic was not just performed by the actors,but also
meticulously crafted in the editing room.
()1.What is the main challenge an editor faces when first receiving the footage?
A.Deciding the final order of the scenes.
B.Selecting the best takes from a vast amount of material.
C.Working with the composer to create the soundtrack.
D.Fixing logical flaws in the story.
()2.According to the passage,how does an editor influence the audience's feelings?
A.By choosing the most famous actors for the scenes.
B.By adding background music at the end of the movie.
C.By controlling the speed and rhythm of the cuts.
D.By rewriting the dialogue for the characters.
()3.The phrase "story doctor"in paragraph 5 refers to the editor's ability to.
A.write the original script for the film
B.diagnose and comrect narrative problems
C.manage the health of the film crew
D.select which medical scenes to include
()4.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To argue that editors deserve more fame than actors.
B.To compare the work of an editor to that of a director.
C.To explain the complex and crucial role of a film editor.
D.To describe the technical tools used in modemn editing.
Passage B
For decades,the Hollywood film industy has been a global powerhouse,exporting its stories and
culture to every corner of the world.However,in recent years,a significant shift has occurred.The rise
of international cinema,particularly from nations like South Korea,India,and Nigeria,is challenging
Hollywood's long-held dominance,and this change is being driven by a new generation of global
audiences.
The success of intemnational films can be attibuted to several key factors.Firstly,streaming platforms
like Netflix and Amazon Prime have broken down geographical bariers.A viewer in the United States
can now watch a critically acclaimed South Korean thriller or a heartwarming Japanese animated film
with a single click,often with high-quality subtitles or dubbing.This accessibility has created a global
market for diverse stories.Secondly,intemational filmmakers are bringing fresh,unique perspectives
that often feel more authentic and innovative than the formulaic blockbusters that Hollywood frequently
produces.For example,the South Korean film "Parasite,"which won the Academy Award for Best
Picture,offered a sharp social commentary on class inequality that resonated with audiences worldwide,
a theme often glossed over in mainstream American cinema.
Furthermore,non-Hollywood films often operate on much smaller budgets,forcing directors to rely
more on creative storytelling and strong scripts rather than expensive special effects.This focus on
narrative can lead to more character-driven and emotionally resonant stories.The 2022 Indian film
"RRR"is a prime example;while it is a big-budget spectacle by Indian standards,its success on
Netflix was built on its high-energy action,compelling characters,and a storyline rooted in Indian
history,which captivated audiences far beyond its home country.
Despite these challenges,Hollywood is not simply fading away.It still commands massive budgets,
attracts the biggest stars,and produces globally recognized franchises like the Marvel Cinematic
Universe.However,the landscape is undeniably changing.Hollywood is now under pressure to adapt.
We are seeing more remakes of foreign films (e.g.,"The Intruder"from the Filipino film "My
Amanda"),and a greater willingness to hire intemational directors for major projects.This cross-
pollination of cultures is enriching global cinema as a whole.
The future of film is thus less about a single dominant industry and more about a diverse,
interconnected tapestry of stories.Audiences are voting for variety with their viewership.The message
is clear:great stories can come from anywhere,and the power to choose what we watch has never
been greater.As viewers,we are the ultimate beneficiaries of this exciting,global cinematic revolution.
()5.What is the primary reason for the rise of international cinema according to the passage?
A.The lower ticket prices of foreign films.
B.The superior special effects in intemnational movies.
C.The increased accessibility through streaming services.
D.The failure of Hollywood to produce any good films.
()6.How do international filmmakers often compensate for smaller budgets?
A.By using more famous but cheaper actors.
B.By focusing on creative storytelling and scripts.
C.By limiting the distribution of their films.
D.By making films in only one language.
()7.What evidence does the author provide for Hollywood's adaptation to the new trend?
A.Hollywood is reducing its film production.
B.Hollywood is making remakes of foreign films.
C.Hollywood is moving all its studios overseas.
D.Hollywood is hiring only local directors.
()8.What does the author imply by calling global audiences the "ultimate beneficiaries"in the last
paragraph?
A.They have to pay less to watch movies.
B.They now have a wider variety of high-quality stories to enjoy.
C.They can now produce their own films easily.
D.They have a better understanding of film technology.
()9.Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the future of cinema?
A.Critical and worried.
B.Optimistic and excited.
C.Neutral and uninterested.
D.Skeptical and doubtful.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the passage and answer the following questions in complete sentences.
The 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption is frequently cited as one of the greatest movies ever
made.While its story of hope and fiiendship is powerful,the film's success is also deeply rooted in
its masterful use of visual storytelling.The director,Frank Darabont,uses the prison setting itself as a
central character,and the camera work guides our emotions without relying heavily on dialogue.
One of the most powerful visual techniques used is contrast.The film constantly contrasts the dark,
cramped,and grey interiors of Shawshank prison with the vast,blue,and open scenes of the outside
world.The most famous example is when Andy Dufresne escapes.He crawls through a narow,filthy
sewage pipe,a claustrophobic joumey of nearly 500 yards.The camera is tight on him,making us feel
his struggle and despair.Then,in a moment of breathtaking release,he emerges into a rainstorm.The
camera pulls back to show the sky,the rain washing away the dit of the prison.This visual contrast
between confinement and freedom makes the emotional payoff incredibly powerful.
Furthermore,Darabont uses color to tell the story.The prison is bathed in a palette of muted greys,
browns,and greens,reflecting the hopelessness and monotony of prison life.In contrast,Andy's
memories of his wife and the scenes on the beach at Zihuatanejo at the end of the film are saturated
with bright blues and warm yellows,representing the freedom and happiness he dreams of and
eventually achieves.This use of color is a subtle but constant reminder of what is at stake for the
characters.
Another key visual element is the use of point-of-view shots.When Brooks,an old prisoner,is
released after 50 years,the camera shows the outside world from his disoriented perspective.The world
is fast,loud,and chaotic,reflecting his fear and inability to cope with a world that has moved on
without him.We see a hotel sign and a busy street from his confused gaze,making us feel his isolation
and terror much more effectively than any line of dialogue could.
In summary,The Shawshank Redemption is a textbook example of "show,don't tell."The film's
director and cinematographer used visual techniques-contrast,color,and perspective-to build an
emotional world that is both deeply despairing and ultimately hopeful.This visual language allows the
film to communicate complex themes of hope,perseverance,and redemption in a way that is
universally understood and felt,transcending language and culture.
1.According to the passage,what makes The Shawshank Redemption a great film besides its story?
2.How does the film use visual contrast to heighten the emotional impact of Andy's escape?

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in learning Chinese through movies.I have a perfect film to
recommend to you:Farewell My Concubine(1993),directed by Chen Kaige and staring Leslie Cheung,
Gong Li,and Zhang Fengyi.
The film is a sweeping epic set against the turbulent backdrop of 20th-century China.It follows the
lifelong,complex relationship of two male Peking opera stars and the woman who comes between them,
showing how their personal lives are deeply intertwined with the great political changes of their time.
I recommend it for two reasons.First,the language is rich and poetic,with beautiful dialogue from the
opera and the fictional world,which is great for leaming expressive Chinese.Second,the film is a
window into Chinese culture,including the art of Peking opera and the country's modern history.The
deeply moving story will also give you a lot to think about.
I hope you find this film as fascinating as I do.
Best wishes,
LiHua
