ACT语法备考:ACT语法之主谓一致(一)

  主谓一致是语法考试的一大重点,无论是我们国内的中考还是高考,还是国外的标准化考试中的语法部分,都占有非常重要的地位。因此,主谓一致必然也成了ACT语法考试的一部分了。但是,作为美国高考,对于主谓一致的考察也更加复杂。在开始之前,我们先来看看什么是主谓一致。

  定义:主谓一致的原则是指,主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致:主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语亦采取复数形式。下面,我们来看一下ACT语法中对于主谓一致的考察方式:

  考法一:S+长串修饰+V:主语有比较复杂的定语,甚至是定语从句,所以我们需要先分清句子主干,至于句子主干怎么找,请看以下这个例子:

  例1:72C63

  These untruths- whether deliberate exaggerations or slips of the memory- ultimately matters very little, for the autobiography isn't about the life of Mary Harris Jones.

  A. NO CHANGE

  B. has mattered

  C. had mattered

  D. matter

  【答案】D

  【分析】我们来看一下这个句子的主干:

  These untruths(主语)- whether deliberate exaggerations or slips of the memory(同位语)- ultimately matters(谓语) very little(宾语), /for the autobiography isn't about the life of Mary Harris Jones(原因状语从句).

  显而易见,matter的主语是these truths,是复数,因此,谓语也要用复数。

  考法二:N1 ofN2,谓语取决于N1

  太抽象?比如:

  The eyes of the cat are black.

  这句话真正的主语是谁?the cat? Or the eyes?

  翻译一下呢?"这只猫的眼睛",主语当然是眼睛咯。

  所以N1 of N2,当然N1是主语。

  例2: 71H61

  The popular breakfast of bacon and eggs are, historically speaking, a relatively new tradition in most of the United States, and its beginnings reveal much about the art of public relations.

  A. NO CHANGE

  B. are

  C. is,

  D. is

  【答案】C

  【分析】根据"N1 ofN2,谓语取决于N1",主语为breakfast,所以谓语应该用is

  考法三:1+1=2,并列主语的谓语应该用复数

  如: The pencils and the book all belong to you.

  The pencils and the book是好多东西,所以谓语应该用复数。

  例3:71G22

  Recently, an international energy company and federal regulators has funded a group of scientists, from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution(WHOI), and Cornell University to design an underwater system to listen for these endangered right whales.

  F. NO CHANGE

  G. been funding

  H. have funded

  J. is funding

  【答案】H

  【分析】找一下这个题目的主语,an international energy company and federal regulators,1+n是复数,所以谓语用复数。
