一、考点定位与做题顺序
遇到谓语设空,先别数「离得最近的那个名词」。英语主谓一致看的是主语的中心词,而命题人最爱在中心词和谓语之间塞进介词短语、同位语或并列结构,把视线引开。做题固定三步:一找谓语空(确认这一空填的是动词,不是名词或形容词);二剥修饰(划掉 with / together with / as well as / of / along with 引出的成分);三定中心词(剩下的名词是单数、复数还是不可数,再决定 is/are、was/were、has/have)。
三条硬规则先记住:就远(A as well as B → 看 A)、就近(either A or B / not only A but also B → 看 B)、the number of + 复数名词谓语用单数,a number of + 复数名词谓语用复数。下面短文为自编示意文本,社团、人数、日期与活动数据均虚构。
二、逐题精讲
题1
题1 八空完形(每空从括号内二选一)
自编校园通讯:The reading club, together with two other student groups, (1) ___(is / are) holding a book fair this week. A number of volunteers (2) ___(has / have) signed up, but the number of free desks (3) ___(is / are) still limited. Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants (4) ___(was / were) aware of the change in schedule, so either the assistants or the coordinator (5) ___(has / have) to reprint the list. Not only the posters but also the sign-up sheet (6) ___(was / were) updated yesterday. Two thirds of the donated books (7) ___(is / are) in Chinese, while the rest of the collection (8) ___(comes / come) from the school library. Here (9) ___(is / are) two notices for anyone who (10) ___(want / wants) to help.
写出 1–10 空的正确形式,并标出每空所依据的规则(就远/就近/the number of/a number of/分数与 of 后名词/倒装句主语在后/定语从句先行词)。
解析
逐空:① is(就远:中心词 The reading club 单数,together with two other student groups 是介词短语,划掉);② have(a number of volunteers=「若干志愿者」,中心词 volunteers 复数);③ is(the number of free desks=「桌子的数量」,中心词 number 单数);④ were(neither…nor 就近,看 the two assistants 复数;且后文「change in schedule」为过去事件,用过去式);⑤ has(either…or 就近,看 the coordinator 单数);⑥ was(not only…but also 就近,看 the sign-up sheet 单数;yesterday 定过去式);⑦ are(分数 + of + 复数名词 books,谓语随 books);⑧ comes(the rest of + 单数/集合概念 the collection,谓语随 collection;此处 collection 作整体,用单数);⑨ are(Here 引导倒装,真正主语是后面的 two notices,复数);⑩ wants(定语从句先行词 anyone 为不定代词,谓语用单数)。互验:把每空的修饰成分用括号括起来读一遍——① The reading club (together with…) is;② A number of volunteers have;③ The number (of free desks) is;④ Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants were;⑤ either the assistants or the coordinator has;⑥ Not only the posters but also the sign-up sheet was;⑦ Two thirds of the donated books are;⑧ the rest of the collection comes;⑨ Here are two notices;⑩ anyone who wants。十空全部能回译成「中心词 + 谓语」的最短结构,没有一空靠「离得近」判断。
答案 1 is|2 have|3 is|4 were|5 has|6 was|7 are|8 comes|9 are|10 wants。规则依次为:就远、a number of、the number of、neither…nor 就近、either…or 就近、not only…but also 就近、分数随 of 后复数名词、the rest of 随单数集合名词、Here 倒装主语在后、anyone 不定代词单数。
采分点 每空 0.5 分(形式与规则各半);① 能划掉 together with 短语 1 分;②③ 能说出 a/the number of 的中心词差别 1 分;④⑤⑥ 三处就近各 1 分;⑦⑧ 分数与 the rest of 各 1 分;⑨ 指出倒装主语在后 1 分;⑩ 指出 anyone 单数 1 分。
易错点 ① 看到 two other student groups 就近选 are;②③ 把 a number of 与 the number of 混为一谈;④ 把 neither…nor 当成「两者都不」一律用单数;⑥ 看到 posters 复数就选 were;⑦ 把 two thirds 当单数;⑨ 见 Here 就填 is;⑩ 被 anyone who 的 who 带偏填 want。
题2
题2 三类干扰项辨析与改错
(1) 改写下列句子,使主谓一致,并说明改动依据:① The captain, as well as his crew, were praised. ② A number of pages is missing. ③ The number of applicants have doubled. ④ Neither the students nor the teacher were late.
(2) 自编完形干扰项:「Three quarters of the equipment ___ (was / were) moved to the new lab.」应选哪一个?若把 equipment 换成 instruments,答案是否变化?请说明「of 后名词可数性」如何决定谓语。
解析
(1) ① The captain, as well as his crew, was praised.(就远:主语中心词 The captain 单数,as well as his crew 是附加成分,逗号也提示它是插入语)。② A number of pages are missing.(a number of=若干,中心词 pages 复数)。③ The number of applicants has doubled.(the number of=…的数量,中心词 number 单数;has doubled 保持现在完成)。④ Neither the students nor the teacher was late.(就近:看 the teacher 单数;若调换语序成 Neither the teacher nor the students,则谓语改为 were——这正是就近原则的判据)。(2) 选 was:equipment 为不可数名词,three quarters of + 不可数名词,谓语用单数(分数本身不决定单复数)。换成 instruments(可数复数)后答案变为 were,因为 of 后的名词成了复数可数。规律:分数/百分数/part of / the rest of / most of + of 短语,谓语随 of 后名词的可数性与数;若 of 后是集合名词且强调整体,用单数,强调成员则可用复数(英式用法),答题时按题干给定的「整体/成员」口径写明即可,不武断给唯一答案。
答法提示:改错题必须同时写出「改后的形式」与「中心词是什么」;只改不说依据,采分点丢一半。
答案 (1) ① was(就远,中心词 captain)② are(a number of,中心词 pages)③ has(the number of,中心词 number)④ was(就近,看 teacher;调换语序则 were)。(2) was(equipment 不可数);换 instruments 后为 were;分数/百分数/the rest of 的谓语随 of 后名词。
采分点 四句改后形式各 1 分;四句中心词依据各 1 分;④ 能说明调换语序后答案变化 1 分;(2) 选 was 1 分;替换后改 were 1 分;点明「分数不决定、of 后名词决定」1 分;集合名词整体/成员口径说明 1 分。
易错点 把 as well as 当成 and 一律用复数;改③时顺手把 has doubled 改成 have doubled 之外的时态;④ 只记「neither…nor 用单数」而不看就近;(2) 见 three quarters 就填 were;把 equipment 当成可数复数加 s。
三、规律小结与对照表
| 结构 | 自编示例 | 中心词 | 谓语 | 规则 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A as well as B | The club, as well as two groups, … | A(club) | is | 就远 |
| A together with B | together with two other student groups | A | is | 就远 |
| either A or B | either the assistants or the coordinator | B | has | 就近 |
| neither A nor B | Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants | B | were | 就近 |
| not only A but also B | Not only the posters but also the sheet | B | was | 就近 |
| a number of + 复数 | A number of volunteers | volunteers | have | 复数 |
| the number of + 复数 | The number of free desks | number | is | 单数 |
| 分数 + of + 复数 | Two thirds of the donated books | books | are | 随 of 后 |
| 分数 + of + 不可数 | Three quarters of the equipment | equipment | was | 单数 |
| the rest of + 整体 | the rest of the collection | collection | comes | 单数 |
| Here 倒装 | Here are two notices | two notices | are | 主语在后 |
| 不定代词 | anyone who wants | anyone | wants | 单数 |
主谓一致设空,本质上是一次「把主语削到最短」的练习:先圈谓语空,再用括号划掉所有介词短语与插入语,剩下的那个词才是中心词。就远、就近、a/the number of、of 后名词可数性、Here 倒装——五条规则覆盖绝大多数设空。切记「离谓语最近的名词」常常正是命题人放的那个诱饵。本短文的社团、人数、日期与活动数据均为自编示意,不代表真实统计。
四、自测清单
- □ 先确认该空填的是谓语动词,再看主语;
- □ 用括号划掉 with / together with / as well as / of 引出的修饰成分;
- □ 就远(A as well as B)与就近(either…or)分开记,不混用;
- □ 每见 a number of / the number of 先圈冠词再定中心词;
- □ 分数、百分数、the rest of 一律看 of 后名词的可数性与数;
- □ Here / There 倒装句先找后面的真正主语;
- □ 定语从句(anyone who…)的谓语随先行词,不随从句里的近邻名词。
