1. Neither Jack nor Li Lei and I _______ interested in playing computer games. A. am B. is C. are D. was 【解析】此题陷阱选项为A。平时考生所做的题目是neither nor结构作主语时谓语动词多用单数,特别是Neithernor I am 这样的结构在考生的头脑中留下了深刻的印象,因此很多考生一看到neithernor和这里的I不假思索就选择的A项。其实,只要我们再仔细看看会发现nor后面是Li Lei and I 两个人,因此正确答案为C。 2. The teacher and writer _______ doing morning exercises this time yesterday. A. is B. was C. are D. were 【解析】此题陷阱选项为D。误选的原因是把the teacher and writer误认为是两个人,其实,the teacher and the writer才是两个人,意为那个老师和那个作家。到底是一个人还是两个人的关键是看and后面的名词前面是否有修饰语,有修饰语就是两个人或(物),没有修饰语就是一个人(或物)。正确答案为B。 3. Everyone except Tom and David _______there when the meeting began. A. is B. was C. are D. were 【解析】此题陷阱选项为C或D。此题考查主谓一致问题,许多同学会受Tom and David的影响会误选为C或D这两个答案。其实,这里属于单数主语+介词短语作主语的情况,这时谓语动词应不受介词短语中的名词或代词的影响,仍然用单数形式。正确答案为B。 |
