Learning about language
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.(2014·大连高一检测)—Did you learn any foreign language when you were in college?
—Yes, more than one ________ taught at that time.
A.language was B.language were
C.language be D.languages were
答案:A more than one+可数名词单数,表示复数的意义,但是谓语动词要用单数,故选A。
2.(2014·济宁高一检测) The students each ________ an English dictionary in our school.
A.have B.has
C.had D.are having
答案:A 考查主谓一致。句意:我们学校的每个学生都有一本英语词典。each在句中仅仅是主语the students的同位语,所以本题谓语应用复数。故选A。
3.Two thirds of his book ________ been finished so far.
A.are B.is
C.have D.has
答案:D 考查主谓一致。句意:到现在为止他已完成了这本书的三分之二。分数作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于分数指代的内容,此处指“书的三分之二的内容”,且时间状语so far“到目前为止”决定了本题的时态,故选D。
