一、考點定位與做題順序
遇到謂語設空,先別數「離得最近的那個名詞」。英語主謂一致看的是主語的中心詞,而命題人最愛在中心詞和謂語之間塞進介詞短語、同位語或並列結構,把視線引開。做題固定三步:一找謂語空(確認這一空填的是動詞,不是名詞或形容詞);二剝修飾(劃掉 with / together with / as well as / of / along with 引出的成分);三定中心詞(剩下的名詞是單數、複數還是不可數,再決定 is/are、was/were、has/have)。
三條硬規則先記住:就遠(A as well as B → 看 A)、就近(either A or B / not only A but also B → 看 B)、the number of + 複數名詞謂語用單數,a number of + 複數名詞謂語用複數。下面短文為自編示意文本,社團、人數、日期與活動數據均虛構。
二、逐題精講
題1
題1 八空完形(每空從括號內二選一)
自編校園通訊:The reading club, together with two other student groups, (1) ___(is / are) holding a book fair this week. A number of volunteers (2) ___(has / have) signed up, but the number of free desks (3) ___(is / are) still limited. Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants (4) ___(was / were) aware of the change in schedule, so either the assistants or the coordinator (5) ___(has / have) to reprint the list. Not only the posters but also the sign-up sheet (6) ___(was / were) updated yesterday. Two thirds of the donated books (7) ___(is / are) in Chinese, while the rest of the collection (8) ___(comes / come) from the school library. Here (9) ___(is / are) two notices for anyone who (10) ___(want / wants) to help.
寫出 1–10 空的正確形式,並標出每空所依據的規則(就遠/就近/the number of/a number of/分數與 of 後名詞/倒裝句主語在後/定語從句先行詞)。
解析
逐空:① is(就遠:中心詞 The reading club 單數,together with two other student groups 是介詞短語,劃掉);② have(a number of volunteers=「若干志願者」,中心詞 volunteers 複數);③ is(the number of free desks=「桌子的數量」,中心詞 number 單數);④ were(neither…nor 就近,看 the two assistants 複數;且後文「change in schedule」為過去事件,用過去式);⑤ has(either…or 就近,看 the coordinator 單數);⑥ was(not only…but also 就近,看 the sign-up sheet 單數;yesterday 定過去式);⑦ are(分數 + of + 複數名詞 books,謂語隨 books);⑧ comes(the rest of + 單數/集合概念 the collection,謂語隨 collection;此處 collection 作整體,用單數);⑨ are(Here 引導倒裝,真正主語是後面的 two notices,複數);⑩ wants(定語從句先行詞 anyone 為不定代詞,謂語用單數)。互驗:把每空的修飾成分用括號括起來讀一遍——① The reading club (together with…) is;② A number of volunteers have;③ The number (of free desks) is;④ Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants were;⑤ either the assistants or the coordinator has;⑥ Not only the posters but also the sign-up sheet was;⑦ Two thirds of the donated books are;⑧ the rest of the collection comes;⑨ Here are two notices;⑩ anyone who wants。十空全部能回譯成「中心詞 + 謂語」的最短結構,沒有一空靠「離得近」判斷。
答案 1 is|2 have|3 is|4 were|5 has|6 was|7 are|8 comes|9 are|10 wants。規則依次為:就遠、a number of、the number of、neither…nor 就近、either…or 就近、not only…but also 就近、分數隨 of 後複數名詞、the rest of 隨單數集合名詞、Here 倒裝主語在後、anyone 不定代詞單數。
採分點 每空 0.5 分(形式與規則各半);① 能劃掉 together with 短語 1 分;②③ 能說出 a/the number of 的中心詞差別 1 分;④⑤⑥ 三處就近各 1 分;⑦⑧ 分數與 the rest of 各 1 分;⑨ 指出倒裝主語在後 1 分;⑩ 指出 anyone 單數 1 分。
易錯點 ① 看到 two other student groups 就近選 are;②③ 把 a number of 與 the number of 混為一談;④ 把 neither…nor 當成「兩者都不」一律用單數;⑥ 看到 posters 複數就選 were;⑦ 把 two thirds 當單數;⑨ 見 Here 就填 is;⑩ 被 anyone who 的 who 帶偏填 want。
題2
題2 三類干擾項辨析與改錯
(1) 改寫下列句子,使主謂一致,並說明改動依據:① The captain, as well as his crew, were praised. ② A number of pages is missing. ③ The number of applicants have doubled. ④ Neither the students nor the teacher were late.
(2) 自編完形干擾項:「Three quarters of the equipment ___ (was / were) moved to the new lab.」應選哪一個?若把 equipment 換成 instruments,答案是否變化?請說明「of 後名詞可數性」如何決定謂語。
解析
(1) ① The captain, as well as his crew, was praised.(就遠:主語中心詞 The captain 單數,as well as his crew 是附加成分,逗號也提示它是插入語)。② A number of pages are missing.(a number of=若干,中心詞 pages 複數)。③ The number of applicants has doubled.(the number of=…的數量,中心詞 number 單數;has doubled 保持現在完成)。④ Neither the students nor the teacher was late.(就近:看 the teacher 單數;若調換語序成 Neither the teacher nor the students,則謂語改為 were——這正是就近原則的判據)。(2) 選 was:equipment 為不可數名詞,three quarters of + 不可數名詞,謂語用單數(分數本身不決定單複數)。換成 instruments(可數複數)後答案變為 were,因為 of 後的名詞成了複數可數。規律:分數/百分數/part of / the rest of / most of + of 短語,謂語隨 of 後名詞的可數性與數;若 of 後是集合名詞且強調整體,用單數,強調成員則可用複數(英式用法),答題時按題幹給定的「整體/成員」口徑寫明即可,不武斷給唯一答案。
答法提示:改錯題必須同時寫出「改後的形式」與「中心詞是什麼」;只改不說依據,採分點丟一半。
答案 (1) ① was(就遠,中心詞 captain)② are(a number of,中心詞 pages)③ has(the number of,中心詞 number)④ was(就近,看 teacher;調換語序則 were)。(2) was(equipment 不可數);換 instruments 後為 were;分數/百分數/the rest of 的謂語隨 of 後名詞。
採分點 四句改後形式各 1 分;四句中心詞依據各 1 分;④ 能說明調換語序後答案變化 1 分;(2) 選 was 1 分;替換後改 were 1 分;點明「分數不決定、of 後名詞決定」1 分;集合名詞整體/成員口徑說明 1 分。
易錯點 把 as well as 當成 and 一律用複數;改③時順手把 has doubled 改成 have doubled 之外的時態;④ 只記「neither…nor 用單數」而不看就近;(2) 見 three quarters 就填 were;把 equipment 當成可數複數加 s。
三、規律小結與對照表
| 結構 | 自編示例 | 中心詞 | 謂語 | 規則 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A as well as B | The club, as well as two groups, … | A(club) | is | 就遠 |
| A together with B | together with two other student groups | A | is | 就遠 |
| either A or B | either the assistants or the coordinator | B | has | 就近 |
| neither A nor B | Neither the coordinator nor the two assistants | B | were | 就近 |
| not only A but also B | Not only the posters but also the sheet | B | was | 就近 |
| a number of + 複數 | A number of volunteers | volunteers | have | 複數 |
| the number of + 複數 | The number of free desks | number | is | 單數 |
| 分數 + of + 複數 | Two thirds of the donated books | books | are | 隨 of 後 |
| 分數 + of + 不可數 | Three quarters of the equipment | equipment | was | 單數 |
| the rest of + 整體 | the rest of the collection | collection | comes | 單數 |
| Here 倒裝 | Here are two notices | two notices | are | 主語在後 |
| 不定代詞 | anyone who wants | anyone | wants | 單數 |
主謂一致設空,本質上是一次「把主語削到最短」的練習:先圈謂語空,再用括號劃掉所有介詞短語與插入語,剩下的那個詞才是中心詞。就遠、就近、a/the number of、of 後名詞可數性、Here 倒裝——五條規則覆蓋絕大多數設空。切記「離謂語最近的名詞」常常正是命題人放的那個誘餌。本短文的社團、人數、日期與活動數據均為自編示意,不代表真實統計。
四、自測清單
- □ 先確認該空填的是謂語動詞,再看主語;
- □ 用括號劃掉 with / together with / as well as / of 引出的修飾成分;
- □ 就遠(A as well as B)與就近(either…or)分開記,不混用;
- □ 每見 a number of / the number of 先圈冠詞再定中心詞;
- □ 分數、百分數、the rest of 一律看 of 後名詞的可數性與數;
- □ Here / There 倒裝句先找後面的真正主語;
- □ 定語從句(anyone who…)的謂語隨先行詞,不隨從句裡的近鄰名詞。
