Question

Right now the writer and manager_____busy preparing for the following meeting.

A．is

B．Are

C．was

D．were

Answer 1

A

試題分析：句意：現(xiàn)在那位作者兼經(jīng)理正忙于準(zhǔn)備下面的會(huì)議。根據(jù)writer and manager前只有一個(gè)冠詞故判斷是一個(gè)人，所以謂語動(dòng)詞該用單數(shù)，故排除AD；又根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語right now可知需用現(xiàn)在時(shí)，故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。主謂一致是高中階段必須掌握的語法項(xiàng)目，需要考生多記多加練習(xí)，進(jìn)而掌握它們的用法。動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)是高考必考是內(nèi)容，把這兩者放在一起來考查更增加了試題的難度。
即學(xué)即練：The League secretary and monitor _____  asked to make a speech at the meeting  yesterday.
A.is; to hold            B.was; held
C.are; to be held        D.were; held
解析：B。并列主語the League secretary and monitor表示同一概念，謂語動(dòng)詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，同時(shí)由于the meeting已經(jīng)舉行了，所以用過去分詞形式表示完成。
