解析试题分析:a number of一些,许多;the number of……的数目。英语中一般用基数词表示分数的分子,用序数词表示分数的分母。当分子是一时,分数的分母用单数形式,在表示分数时,当分数的分子大于一时,分数的分母要用复数形式。由分数修饰的主语后面谓语动词的数,和被修饰主语的单复数保持一致。句意:我们学校老师的数目是118人,并且他们中四分之一是女老师.结合语境可知前文主语指的是number,表示抽象含义,故谓语动词用单数.选B.
考点:主谓一致及分数
点评:由number构成的这两个短语是经常考查的对象,其一般解题原则是先区分这两个短语的含义,然后结合语境选择正确答案。其结构,含义比较固定,熟记即可。英语分数的表达规则比较固定,学习中应牢记这些基本规则。需注意的是,由分数修饰的主语后面谓语动词的数,和被修饰主语的单复数保持一致。
Tea bag drinking is most Westerners' favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added(增加) hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85%of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy and tasly way to go.
