一、教法建議

1. 目的與要求

這是一篇說明文。通過教學的每個環節實現以下三個目的：

3. 本單元應掌握的難點知識：

（1）常見的主語形式：

一般說來，英語句子中的主語形式常見的有以下八種：

A bison is a large animal found on the American plains .（名詞）

This is the room Mr Lu Sun once lived in .（代詞）

She is a quick girl .（人稱代詞）

The old are taken good care for in their own family . （形容詞）

Two times five is ten .（數詞）

Fishing is interesting . （動名詞）

To save money now is impossible to us students .（不定式短語）

What surprised me most was that it seemed to be a few days before a new house was set up . （主語從句）

以上有關主語八種形式需要在閱讀和練習中熟記并掌握。

（2）主語和謂語的一致性問題

主語和謂語的一致性問題是大多數學生學習英語時遇到的最大的困難之一。一個句子中的謂語動詞必須與這個句子中的主語人稱，數的形式保持一致關系。例如，句子中的主語是單數形式，其謂語動詞用單數形式。這種主謂一致的劃分歸納起來有以下八種。

① 由and連接的名詞作主語時

a. 如果由and連接的兩個名詞（不同概念）作主語時，謂語動詞要用復數形式。如：

Tom and Jack live in Room 305.

Both you and I are to be sent to Tibet.

What he said and what he did agreed with each other.

b. 當and連接的兩個名詞指同一個人、同一件事或一概念，這時and后面的名詞前沒有冠詞，其謂語動詞用單數形式（這里and相當于as well as ）。如：

The singer and composer is coming to our school .

那位歌唱家兼作曲家將來我們學校。

Bread and butter is often served for breakfast in our dining hall .

（比較：The boy and the girl were given a book each .每個同學都分得一本書。其中 “each”是同位語，句中主語為復數。）

我們食堂早點經常供應奶油面包。

常見的由and連接的兩個名詞指由一個概念的形式有：the needle and thread針線，salt and water鹽水，the or and knife刀叉，soap and water肥皂水，iron and steel鋼鐵等。

C. 由and連接的兩個并列主語為單數概念。主語前面分別由each , every ,no等詞來修飾時，其謂語動詞為單數形式。

Each doctor and each nurse was sent for .

把所有的醫生和護士都清來了。

Every boy and every girl is able to go to school in that village .

在那個村子里所有的孩子們都能上學。

注意：more than one和many a 修飾的單數名詞后面的謂語用單數形式，但其意義是復數。

如：

More than one student is fond of folk- music .

許多學生喜歡民間音樂。

Many a boy enjoys playing foot-ball .

許多男同學喜歡踢足球。

② 當主語后面接說明主語的修飾詞或插入語時，謂語動詞的數不受修飾成份的影響，仍同主語的關系一致。

這些修飾成分常見的有：with, along with , togeth whit (和…一起)；as well as (還) ；like (像)；no less than (不亞于)；rather than (而不是)；more than（多于)；as much as (如…一般多)；but ,except（除了……）；besides (除了……還……)；including包括；in addition to（另外）等引導的一個修飾結構，放在主語后面。如：

The old man , along with his two grandsons, often have a walk in the evening .

Jenny , as well as her friends , is going abroad .

The house ,including the garden and the garage ,was sold out .

③ 當集合名詞作主語時

根據句子內容，謂語動詞可以是單數也可以是復數形式。在這一用法中，要注意正確判斷主語是“整體”概念，還是“個體”概念。

如：# The whole nation regard Premier Zhou Enlai as one of the greatest leaders .

(句中 “nation” 表示“全國人民”謂語用復數)。

注: 集合名詞作主語時，謂語動詞用單數還是復數，取決于它強調的內容，如果一個名詞作為一個整體看待，謂語動詞用單數形式，表示“全體一致的行動”或者“群體關系”；當謂語動詞表示“身份”、“情感”或強調“每個成員”時，用復數形式。如：

The audience was in good order .

觀眾保持良好的秩序。（指整體狀態）

The audience were greatly encouraged .

觀眾們深受鼓舞。（指具體的人）

常用的集合名詞有：group ,class ,team ,family ,nation ,army ,crowd ,audience ,public, government , majority（大多數）等。

有些集合名詞如people、cattle（牛群）等在任何情況下都與謂語動詞的復數形式搭配。

④ 就近原則

以連詞or either…or neither…nor not only…but also…連接的名詞或代詞作主語時，謂語動詞與其相鄰的那個名詞的數一致。

如： # Among the boys ,one or two are able to jump 1.6 metres .

在這些同學中，一二個人能跳過1.6米。

⑤ 以 “某些不定代詞或表示數量的詞 + of + 名詞”的結構，謂語形式要與of 后的名詞保持一致。

常見的這類詞有：all , some , a lot , plenty , any , part ,the rest ,one-third percent + of

如： 70 percent of the surface is covered with water .

70 percent of the farmers have impoved their living conditions .

⑥ 有些不定代詞或表示數字的名詞修飾的名詞或詞組作主語時，句中謂語動詞用復數。這類詞組常用的有：few (of ) , a few , both , both of ,a number of + 復數名詞+謂語動詞（復數）

如： # Few of the students were in the classroom yesterday , for it was Sunday .

昨天教室里沒有幾個人，因為是星期日。

[注]：在 “ a number of + 名詞（復數）” 結構中，“復數名詞”是中心詞，“a number of ”作定語，謂語用復數形式；而在 “ the number of + 名詞（復數）” 結構中， “the number “是“中心詞”，謂語動詞用單數形式。如：

A number of questions were always asked when the manager got to his office .

The number of the students in this school is 1,560.

[注] 當 “the number”.表示“…數量或號碼”時，謂語動詞用單數。如：

The number of the key is 207.

⑦ “the + 形容詞（分詞或數詞）” 結構起名詞作用時

如果這個結構表示的是一類人，謂語動詞用復數形式；如果這個結構表示抽象概念（或具體的某一個人），謂語用單數形式。如：

The young are able to create their own future.

There was an old lady and a young girl in the park . The young was the daughter of the old .

The wounded were taken to hospital without delay .

⑧ 表示重量、距離、金錢，一段時間及由one and a half修飾的復數名詞作主語時，謂語動詞用單數形式。如：

Twenty dollars isn’t enough to buy the book .

Ten miles isn’t far .

Five times six is thirty.

One and a half apples was left on the plate .

二、學海導航

如何培養和提高作答單項填空題的能力。

單項填空題主要考查中學階段所學詞法和句法中常見的語言內容，試題具有信息量大，綜合性強，突出語言的交際能力等特點。回答單項填空題，不能單純從語法規則入手，而是要求考生必須從題干提供的語言環境出發，綜合所學的語言語法知識正確判斷。建議參考以下三個步驟：

1.認真閱讀提綱，了解大意；

2.根據句中所缺部分和四個選項的概念和形式，判斷考查什么；

3.從提綱的內容和選項的形式兩個方面進行匹配，達到內容和形式的統一。如：

________want to work in Xinjiang after graduation.

A. Not only Ann but also her friends B. Neither Ann nor Tom

C. Either Ann or her friend D. Nobody but Ann

答案：A

解析：此題句子大意是“……想畢業后去新疆工作”根據句中所缺部分和四個選項不難看出此題考查的是主謂一致問題。句中“want”是一般現在時復數形式，那么，此句的主語應是復數形式；四個選項是D是單數，故與本題要求不符；A，B，C三項都是由連詞連接的兩個名詞作主語。根據“就近原則”（見主謂一致問題4）答案為A。

另外，進行自我訓練時，要注意按高考要求的時間（12分鐘）完成25個單選題。并查出造成失誤的原因。如：知識不準確；偏重語法而忽視內容；或受母語的干擾等原因造成的失誤。發現問題，抓住重點，集中一段時間重點突破。
