主语和谓语动词考点剖析 高考英语
主语是一句话的中心,相当于句子的主题。主语通常是由一个名词作用的成分担任的。起名词作用的成分可以是:名词、代词、数词、不定式、动名词、名词性从句等。如:
Fresh air and exercise are good for your health.
Using the right hand to shake hands is a convention in many countries.
To teach the three children is my job this afternoon.
What he said at the meeting is necessary for us.
在某些情况下,可以由it作形式主语,而把真正的主语从句移到句子后面。如:
It’s no use arguing with them.
It is good to help others.
It is certain that she will pass the exam.
当我们用there引起一个句子时,主语通常应放在谓语后面。这种结构主要用在以动词
be为谓语动词的句子中。如:
There is no denying that she is very efficient.
My new computer doesn’t work. There must be something wrong with it.
考点一:正确选择主语
1. _____ is known to us all is that the 2008 Olympic Games will take place in Beijing. (2008福建)
A. It B. What C. As D. Which
答案与解析:B。根据句子分析,第二个is前面的 _____ is known to us all为主语从句,句中缺少主语;根据句意分析,应该选择能充当成分的What。
2. — How do you find your new classmates?
— Most of them are kind, but ____ is so good to me as Bruce. (2008福建)
A. none B. no one C. every one D. some one
答案与解析:A。根据but一词确定应该从A、B中挑选。有一定范围的用none,相当于none of my new classmates。no one不必有这种范围。
3. The book is of great value.______ can be enjoyed unless you digest it. (2007福建)
A. Nothing B. Something C. Everything D. Anything
答案与解析:A。复合不定代词someone / somebody, anyone / anybody, everyone / everybody, nobody. something, anything, nothing等作主语时,谓语动词用单数。根据句意“如果你不消化它,就什么东西也欣赏不了”可知应选nothing。
4. — Could you tell me how to get to Victoria Street?
— Victoria Street? ______ is where the Grand Theatre is. (2008辽宁)
A. Such B. There C. That D. This
答案与解析:C。此题考查名词性从句的用法和代词的用法。where the Grand Theatre is 是一个表语从句。此空缺少主语,固用that来代替前文的 Victoria Street.
考点二:谓语动词与主语的一致性
1. Progress _ so far very good and we are sure that the work will be finished on time. (2009全国II)
A. was B. had been C. has been D. will be
答案与解析:C。可数名词单数和不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
2. — Did you go to the show last night?
— Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area _________ invited. (2009陕西)
A. were B. have been C. has been D. was
答案与解析:D。当and连接each, every, no, many a +主语中心词时,由于强调个体行为,因此谓语动词用单数。
3. The number of foreign students attending Chinese universities ________ rising steadily since 1990. (2009山东)
A. is B. are C. has been D. have been
答案与解析:C。the number of / the variety of + 复数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数,a number of / a variety of + 复数名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数。本题主语是the number故谓语动词用单数,又因时间状语是since1997所以用完成时态。
4. The teacher together with the students ________ discussing Reading Skills that ________ newly published in America. (2009四川)
A. are; were B. is; were C. are; was D. is; was
答案与解析:D。主语中心词 + with / along with / together with / including / but / except / like / among / as well as / no more than / besides / rather than +名词时,谓语动词一般仍和主语中心词在单复数上保持一致;第二空为定语从句that指代Reading Skills,由于Reading Skills是书名所以谓语动词用单数。
5. Either you or one of your students ______ to attend the meeting that is due tomorrow. (2009湖南)
A. are B. is C. have D. be
答案与解析:B。由either … or…, neither … nor…, not … only …but also …, not … but …, There be … and …等连接并列主语时,谓语通常遵循“就近一致”原则,即与它邻近的主语中心词的数保持一致。one of your students 谓语应用单数形式。
考点二:正确选择动词的时态和语态
现在的高考题中,很少有单纯考时态和语态的题,还可能同时涉及到主谓一致等其它语法内容。
