高考英语主谓一致练习题20题(带答案)1. In the library, there ____ a large number of books on various subjects.A. isB. areC. hasD. have答案解析:B。
本题考查的是存在句中的主谓一致。
“a large number of + 复数名词”表示“许多”,作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。
A选项“is”用于单数主语;C和D选项“has”和“have”表示“拥有”,这里是存在句,不是表示所属关系,所以不选。
2. Not only the students but also their teacher ____ going to the museum tomorrow.A. isB. areC. wasD. were答案解析:A。
本题考查的是主谓一致中的就近原则。
“not only...but also...”连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词与靠近它的主语保持一致。
在这个句子中,靠近谓语动词的主语是“their teacher”,是单数,再根据“tomorrow”可知是一般将来时,这里用“be going to”结构,所以选“is”。
B选项“are”用于复数主语;C和D选项“was”和“were”是一般过去时,不符合句子时态。
3. The number of people who ____ interested in this new product ____ increasing.A. are; isB. is; areC. are; areD. is; is答案解析:A。
“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,所以第二个空填“is”;“who”引导的定语从句修饰“people”,“people”是复数,所以从句中的谓语动词用“are”。
B选项主谓一致判断错误;C选项两个空都错误;D选项第一个空错误。
