定語從句
[例4] —the trousers _____ you well, madam. —but the colour _____ me. a. fit; don’t suit b. fits; doesn’t suit c. fits; don’t suit d. fit; doesn’t suit 分析:trousers, clothes, glasses,等名詞本身就是復數形式。謂語動詞用復數形式。colour 是單數,謂語用單數,故選擇d。 [例5] the smith’s family, which _____ rather a large one, _____ very fond of their old house. a. were; were b. was; were c. were; was d. was; was 分析:family指“家庭”為單數,指“家庭成員”為復數形式。第一空格前的which 指“家庭” 謂語用was. 第二空格后的fond of指“家庭成員喜歡他們的老房子” 謂語為were,故選擇b。 [例6] he is the only one of the students who _____ a winner of scholarship for three years. a. is b. are c. have been d. has been 分析:當定語從句先行詞是“one of +復數形式”時, 其后的從句謂語動詞用復數形式。而當one之前有the only時, 定語從句則強調the only one,謂語動詞用單數。另外,題目中的時間狀語for three years表明從句的時態為現在完成時,故選擇d。 [例7] three fifths of the police _____ in the school near the town. a. has trained b. have trained c. has been trained d. have been trained 分析:分數+名詞做主語時,謂語動詞的形式由分數所指的名詞的形式(可數名詞或不可數名詞)決定,police 是集合名詞為復數形式,根據句子意思,police 與train 為被動關系,應用被動語態,故選擇d。 短文改錯片段: 1. now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library. 分析:本句中主語now my picture and the prize是復數形式,謂語動詞is應改為are. 2. sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. 分析:本句第一行,根據全篇內容的語境,應當是一般現在時,所以謂語動詞talked改為talk.第二行:根據句意:我們下課后立刻又成了陌生人。stranger應當與主語we一致,改為復數形式,strangers. 3. but not all information are good to society. 分析:主語information是不可數名詞,are應改為is 【模擬試題】1. —is there anybody in the classroom ? —no, the teacher, together with the students _____ to the playground. a. go b. went c. has gone d. have gone 2. —are these your sheep ? —no. mine _____ on grass at the foot of the hill. a. are feeding b. feed c. is fed d. is feeding 3. sitting at the back of the room but in front of some old men and women _____ a very shy girl with two bright eyes. a. was b. are c. were d. there was 4. mr. bush, together with his wife and daughter _____ going to japan next week. a. are b. is c. will be d. would be 5. not the teacher but the students _____ excited. a. is b. has c. are d. have 6. as i have a meeting at four, ten minutes _____ all that i can spare to talk with you. a. are b. was c. is d. were 7. _____ of the land in that district _____ covered with trees and grass. a. two fifth; is b. two fifths; are c. two fifth; are d. two fifths; is
