题目内容
One third of the country _____ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens _____ black people.
| A.is; are | B.is; is | C.are; are | D.are; is |
A
解析试题分析:考查主谓一致。第一空填is,因为分数的主语,谓语和后面的名词一致,整个国家为整体,三分之一的部分当然也应用单数;而the majority of citizens主要指人,是可数名词,此时的谓语动词用复数,表示“大多数,大部分”,句意:这个国家的三分之一是被树覆盖,主要公民是黑人。选A。
考点:考查主谓一致
点评:主谓一致的考点较多,要在理解的基础上加以记忆,多练习加以巩固。这里的单复数同形的单词一定要看修饰词来判断。分数,the majority of,The rest,half,most等词修饰名词的谓语和名词一致。
