2.Not only I but also Li Lei and Han Meimei ________ tired of so much homework every day.
A. am B. is C. are D. was
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。not only... but also... 连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数遵循就近原则,因此,本题谓语动词的单复数取决于 Li Lei and Han Meimei,故C项正确。

3.Thirty percent of the cattle ________ thin, but the rest ________ fat.
A. are; are B. is; is
C. is; are D. are; is
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。分数、百分数修饰名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数往往取决于它所修饰的名词,故第一空的单复数取决于可数名词 cattle,用复数;the rest 既可以指代可数名词,又可以指代不可数名词,作主语时谓语动词的单复数亦取决于所修饰的名词,由语境可知,此处 the rest 指代可数名词 cattle,谓语动词也用复数,故A项正确。
[答案]A
4.Traditional folk arts of Shanxi ________ at the culture show of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
A. is exhibiting B. is being exhibited
C. are exhibiting D. are being exhibited
[解析]本题考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析结构可知,句子的主语为名词复数 arts,故谓语动词应用复数,又因为 arts 与 exhibit 之间为动宾关系,应用被动语态,故D项正确。
[答案]D

—Sorry, neither she nor you ________.
A. Am; are B. Is; are
C. Are; are D. Is; is
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。either... or... 与 neither...nor... 连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数都遵循就近原则,因此,第一空根据 she 确定谓语动词的单复数,第二空根据 you 确定谓语动词的单复数,故B项正确。
[答案]B
6.Exercise One should be done in class as an example, while the rest ________ as homework.
A. is to be finished B. are to finish
C. are to be finished D. is to finish
[解析]本题考查主谓一致和动词语态。句意:练习一应该在课堂上当作例题来做,然而其他的要当家庭作业完成。由语境可知,the rest 指代 exercise,exercise 作“练习”讲时,为可数名词,也就是说 the rest 指代的是可数名词,谓语动词用复数,A、D错误;exercise 与 finish 之间为动宾关系,故应选C。
[答案]C
7.How close parents are to their children ________ a strong influence on the development of the children's characters.
A. has B. had
C. having D. have
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。句意:父母对孩子的亲密程度对孩子性格的形成有很强烈的影响。分析结构可知,此处为主语从句 How close parents are to their children 作主语,谓语动词往往用第三人称单数,故A项正确。
[答案]A

—Many an American boy and many a British girl as well as the teachers ________ to be present.

[答案]B
9.—________ one and a half days enough for the painting to be finished?
—That's not enough. The painter is ill and only after______ go with it.
A. Are; he recovers can he B. Are; he recovers he can
C. Is; he recovers can he D. Is; he recovers he can
[解析]本题考查主谓一致和倒装句。第一空句子的主语为 one and a half days,在表时间、距离等的名词作主语时,往往看作一个整体,故谓语动词用第三人称单数,故答案应从C、D两项中去选择;“only+状语从句”置于句首,主句要用部分倒装,而从句不倒装,故C项正确。
[答案]C
10.When and where to go for the onsalary holiday still ________.
A. are remained to decide B. is remaining to decide
C. remain to be decided D. remains to be decided
[解析]不定式短语作主语时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,remain 不用于进行时和被动语态,由此可以排除A、B、C三项;另外,decide 与主语之间是动宾关系,应该用被动语态,所以选D项。
[答案]D
11.Some modern teaching equipment as well as hundreds of computers ________ to ten Hope Schools in South China.
A.were sent B.was sent

[答案]A
13.—Have you found anything interesting?
—None of the information ________ particularly useful to me.
A. is B. are

[解析]information 是一个不可数名词,所以 none of the information 作主语时,谓语要用单数;useful 是形容词,所以A项符合题意。
[答案]A
14. Some equipment as well as a number of maps and books ________ to the area since the earthquake occurred.
A. has been offered B. have been offered
C. is being offered D. are offered
[解析]由时间状语从句 since the earthquake occurred 可知,主句要用现在完成时态;在“主语+介词短语结构”中,谓语动词的人称和数由主语决定,其结构为:主语+with/together with/along with/as well as/like/including/more than/but/except/besides/in addition to/rather than/not…+名词、代词或短语+谓语...。此题中主语是 equipment,而不是 maps and books,所以谓语用单数。
[答案]A
