Module 1. Antarctica; 用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。 ① The students, together with their teacher , are (be) going to have a picnic this weekend. ② Every means has (have) been tried out, but without satisfactory results. ③The rich are (be) not always happier than the poor. ;④在这次事故中受伤的是一名工程师。 The injured in the accident is (be) an engineer. ⑤三分之一的学生不知道这个题的答案, 因为它太难了。 One third of the students don’t know (not know)the answer to the question, because it is too difficult. ⑥那个地区五分之二的土地都被树木和草地覆盖。 Two fifths of the land in that district is (be)covered with trees and grass. ;⑦ One-third of the country _______ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens _______ black people. ［2011湖南高考］ A. is; are B. is; is C. are; are D. are; is 【解析】选A。句意：这个国家（面积）的三分之一被树木所覆盖，大多数公民是黑人。第一个空前是整体名词作主语，谓语动词用单数；第二个空前the majority of the citizens是可数名词复数作主语，谓语动词用复数。;⑧ It is reported that many a new house _______ at present in the disaster area. ［2010陕西高考］ A. are being built B. were being built C. was being built D. is being built 【解析】选D。考查主谓一致。根据 “many a + 单数可数名词”作主语时，谓语动词应用单数形式，可排除A、B。根据时间状语at present (目前，现在)，要用现在进行时，所以又可排除C。可知应选D。;1. 单、复数同形的名词作主语时，按主谓一致中的意义一致的原则：作单数意义时，谓语动词用单数; 反之，则用复数形式。 2. 如果名词词组的中心词是all, most, rest, some, neither, none等词，且表示复数意义时，谓语动词用复数形式；反之，用单数形式。 3. 当主语后面跟有as well as, no less than, with, along with, together with等引导的词组时，其谓语动词的单、复数按主语的单、复数而定，即“就前原则”。;4. the+形容词/v. -ed/v. -ing结构作主语。 某些形容词与定冠词连用可以表示一类人或一个抽象概念。 某些v. -ed或v. -ing结构，其前用the也可以表示一类人或物，谓语动词常用复数，但当指具体某个人时，可以使用单数形式。 5. many a+单数可数名词=more than one+单数可数名词，译为“不止一个”，表复数意义，但谓语动词仍用单数形式。; 句型转换: ① To remember to switch off the electricity is important． → It is important to remember to switch off the electricity. ②Sleeping out in the woods at night is dangerous. → It is dangerous sleeping out in the woods at night. ③That she will do well in the next exam is certain.
