A. is B. was C. at is D. at was答案与解析：1. A。句意为:几天和几周的时间是如此的渺小, 以至于一天根本微不足道。本句用来陈述事实, 用一般现在时态；空白处所在句子的主语是the time, 谓语动词应用单数形式。2. A。根据句意, 此处应
10、用被动语态, 不用主动语态, 故排除B；又因为when and where表示单数意义,故排除D；再根据句末的yet可知, 最好用现在完成时, 故选A最佳。3. D。当分数、百分数作主语时, 要根据其后面的名词来决定其谓语动词的单复数。此处one-third应是one-third of the notebook computers的省略形式, 因此谓语动词用复数, 且句子的时态用了过去时, 所以D项正确。4. B。名词性从句作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。另外句中be true of意为 “对也适应”。5. A。由时间状语 “tomorrow afternoon”判断, 此处应用现在进行时表将来,
11、 故排除C、D两项。“a poet and artist”指一位诗人兼画家, 谓语动词用单数, 故选A项。6. C。从语法讲解的角度来看, 主语The father是单数概念, 尽管后面跟有as well as his three children,谓语动词仍要用单数形式。every Sunday afternoon in winter暗示该空表示经常性、习惯性动作, 因此应用一般现在时。从命题方式的角度看, 此题学生易弄混淆主语为his three children而出错, 在主语后添加his three children容易误导学生对主语的判断。7. C。a number of为量词短语,
12、 表示“许多”, 中心词是这个短语所修饰的复数名词, 所以作主语时, 谓语动词用复数形式。the number of表示“的数量”, 后接复数名词, 其中, 中心词为number, 因此谓语动词用单数。由此可以排除B；同时, “these days”表明是现在的一种状态, 句子应为一般现在时, 因此应填keeps, 选C。如你所见, 现在路上的车子的数量不断增加。8. C。首先, especially those from the countryside是修饰women的, 可以把它抛开不看, 句子精简后就是 a large number of women_(in)the clothing i
13、ndustry因为a large number of是很多的意思, 所以用动词一般现在时的复数形式。9. B。he was used to是定语从句, 作the country life的定语。即The country life (that) he wasused to has changed greatly since 199210. A。这个句子中, 谓语动词取决于主语No one。可把这个句子写成：No one in the department knows that the director is going to design but (=except Tom and me)。原句中
14、的 I 正 规的语法中应该是me。这句话的意思是说, 整个部门除了我和Tom没有人知道老板要辞职的事 情。主语是“no one”所以用knows第三人称单数。11. D。主语是all the employees(复数) , 而不是the manager, 排除答案A和C；又因all the employees与encourage是被动关系, 要用被动语态, 排除B, 故选D。12. B。本句话的真正主语应该是the sales, 即书的销量达到50,000,000。13. A。句子主语中有but, 需考虑就远原则, 与真正的主语No one人称一致。14. A。首先从 主谓一致入手, one
15、of them为单数主语, 可以先排除C和D；根据句意, “有个人受伤 了”应该是一般过去时, 因此答案为A。15. D。定语从句先行词前有the only修饰, 从句中谓语动词只能用单数；同时, for three years. 说 明用现在完成时。16. B。a large number of修饰可数名词, 所以先排除A的C项；desert为不可数名词, 后面的谓语动词 应该用单数has, 所以正确答案是B。17. C。主语的means为单数名词, 意思是 “手段、方法”, 因此, 要先排除B和D项；根据句意 “所有 阻止空气污染的方法都用过了, 但天空气还是不干净。”, 可见, 此处应该
16、用现在完成时。因 此答案应为C。18. D。首先, 根据句意 “所有的准备工作都已经做完了, 我们准备开始做。”可见此处应该用现在完 成时；其次, preparations为复数, 即主语为复数, 所以用have, 故正确答案为D。19. C。分数表示法：分母序数词, 分子基数词, 若分子大于一, 分母要用复数。同时, 分数修饰名词 作主语时, 谓语动词由该名词决定。“五分之二“应为”two fifths”;land是不可数名词,谓 语动词应使用单数形式。答案为C。20. D。be surprised at为固定搭配, at不能省略, 它后面的宾语是what；what I surprised at充当 told后面宾语从句的主语, 是一个what引导的名词性句子, 后面的谓语动词应该用单数, 且和 主句用一般过去时, 从句对应也要用过去时。因此, 正确答案是D。
