主谓一致练习题答案解析（30题） 1. There is always a possibility that the infection will return, but so far there __ been no signs of trouble. A. has B. have C. are D. had 答案：B. 解析：在由not only…but also…, not just…but…, or, either…or…, neither…nor…连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中，谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理，即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。 2. This kind of stories ____ instructive while stories of that kind ____ harmful to children. A. is; seems B. are; seem C. is; seem D. are; seems 答案：C. 解析：this kind of stories的中心词为kind，是单数；stories of that kind的中心词为stories，是复数，故选C。 3. The number of people invited ____ fifty, but a number of them ____ absent for different reasons. A. were; was B. was; was C. was; were D. were; were 答案：C. 解析：“the number of+复数名词”意思是“……的数量”，谓语用单数；“a number of+复数名词”意思是“许多……”，谓语用复数。 4. A poet and artist ____ coming to speak to us about Chinese literature and painting tomorrow afternoon. A. is B. are C. was D. were 答案：A. 解析：当and连结的两个名词是指同一个人或同一件事，and后的名词前没有冠词，谓语动词应该用单数形式；在and后面的名词前有冠词，谓语就用复数形式。 句意：一位诗人兼艺术家明天下午要来给我们作关于中国文学和绘画方面的报告。 5. The average of students of the school going to university each year ____ over 600. A. are B. has been C. have been D. is 答案：D. 解析：“the average of+复数名词”作主语与单数动词连用，排除A、C。根据时间状语each year“每年”，句子应用一般现在时，选D。 6. Jack, as well as his friends who ____ football games, ____ travelled with the team. A. likes; has B. like; have C. like; has D. likes; have 答案：C. 解析：as well as连接的名词作主语所强调的是它前面的名词，故谓语动词要和该名词保持一致。本题的主语是Jack，故谓语动词要用has travelled；who之后从句的实际主语是先行词his friends的，故第一空格要填like。 7. Not only I but also Jane and Mary ____ tired of having one examination after another. A. is B. are C. am D. be 答案：B. 解析：not only…but also…连接两个并列主语时，句子的谓语根据就近的原则处理。 8.

A. are; have B. is; has C. is; have D. are; has 答案：C. 解析：“分数或百分数+of the+名词或代词”作主语时，谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于名词或代词的单、复数形式。 9. Two hundred and fifty pounds ____ too unreasonable a price for
