12．关系代词who, that, which等在定语从句中作主语时，其谓语动词的数应该与句中先行词的数一致。

　　　 例如：

　 　　 I, who am only a common worker, will retire in two years.

　 　　 只是个普通工人的我两年后就要退休了。

[考点透视 考例精析]

　　 [考点]　 倒装结构。

　　 [考例1]　 I failed in the final examination last term and only then _________ the importance of studies.

　　　　　 A．I realized　 　　　　　 B．I had realized　 C．had I realized　 　 D．did I realize

　　 [解析]　 D　“only+状语”放在句首时，主句部分就要倒装，把助动词、情态动词或者be动词提前。因为这个句子是一般过去时，所以在主句前加上did，谓语动词要还原成原形。

　　 [拓展]　 这种倒装句要特别注意助动词提前以后，后面的动词要用原形，而被加上的助动词要体现句子的时态。例如：

Only in this way can we do the work well. (只有用这种方法，我们才能把工作做好。)

Only after they came did we returned home. (只是等他们来到以后我们才回家。)

　　 [考点]　 考查it的用法-强调结构。

　　 [考例2]　 Could it be in the room _______ we had a talk last night _______ you left your keys?

　　　　　 A．in which, when　 B．which, when　 　　 C．where, that　 　　 D．where, when

　　 [解析]　 C　这是强调句的一般疑问句形式。被强调的部分为“in the room where we had a talk last night”，其中where引导一个定语从句修饰room。

　　 [考点]　 考查主谓一致。

　　 [考例3]　 Every possible means ________ to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear.

　　　　　 A．is used　 　　　　　　　 B．are used　 　　　　　 C．has been used　 　　　 D．have been used

　　 [解析]　 A　第二个句子的时态可以判断出第一句应该用一般现在时。

[基础演练] 一、根据所给首字母或括号中的汉语意思填写句子空格中所缺的单词。

11．英语中，“the + 形容词”可以相当于名词使用。这个结构指人时谓语动词用复数, 指物时谓语动词用单数。

例如：

　 　　 The rich are for the decision but the poor are against it. (同意...反对)

　 　　 有钱人支持这个决定但是穷人反对它。

　 　　 The green is hers.　 这件绿色的东西是她的。

10．more than one+名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数; more than two, three ...+名词作主语时，谓语动词用复数。

　　　 例如：

　 　　 More than one boy has been there. 不止一个孩子去过那里。

　 　　 More than two boys have been there. 不止两个孩子去过那里。

9．表示距离, 时间, 长度,价值, 金额, 重量等的词,用复数形式时,谓语动词用单数；如果要表示具体的多少，强调复数的意义时，谓语动词用复数形式。

　　　 例如：

　 　　 Two thousands dollars is a large sum. 两千美圆是一大笔钱。

　 　　 Two hours is enough. 两个小时就足够了。

　 　　 The fifty miles were covered by the winner in three hours.

　 　　 获胜者三个小时就走完了这五十英里。
