答案：B.

解析：在由not only…but also…, not just…but…, or, either…or…, neither…nor…连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中，谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理，即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。

A. is; seems

B. are; seem

C. is; seem

D. are; seems

答案：C.

解析：this kind of stories的中心词为kind，是单数；stories of that kind的中心词为stories，是复数，故选C。

3. The number of people invited ____ fifty, but a number of them ____ absent for different reasons.

A. were; was

B. was; was

C. was; were

D. were; were

答案：C.

解析：“the number of+复数名词”意思是“……的数量”，谓语用单数；“a number of+复数名词”意思是“许多……”，谓语用复数。

A. is

B. are

C. was

D. were

答案：A.

解析：当and连结的两个名词是指同一个人或同一件事，and后的名词前没有冠词，谓语动词应该用单数形式；在and后面的名词前有冠词，谓语就用复数形式。

句意：一位诗人兼艺术家明天下午要来给我们作关于中国文学和绘画方面的报告。

5. The average of students of the school going to university each year ____ over 600.

A. are

B. has been

C. have been

D. is

答案：D.

6. Jack, as well as his friends who ____ football games, ____ travelled with the team.

A. likes; has

B. like; have

C. like; has

D. likes; have 答案：C.

解析：as well as连接的名词作主语所强调的是它前面的名词，故谓语动词要和该名词保

持一致。本题的主语是Jack，故谓语动词要用has travelled；who之后从句的实际主语是先行词his friends的，故第一空格要填like。

7. Not only I but also Jane and Mary ____ tired of having one examination after another.

A. is

B. are

C. am

D. be

答案：B.

解析：not only…but also…连接两个并列主语时，句子的谓语根据就近的原则处理。

9. Two hundred and fifty pounds ____ too unreasonable a price for a second-hand car.

A. is

B. are

C. were

D. be

答案：A.

解析：表示度量、时间、金钱等的复数名词作主语时，往往把其看作一个整体，谓语动词采用单数形式。

10. In my opinion，what Zhai Zhigang，Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng ____ good to our country’s international position．

A．did do does B．did does do C．does did do D．do do did

答案：B.

解析：句子的主语是what引导的主语从句，即：what Zhai Zhigang，Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng did。what引导的主语从句作主语，谓语动词用单数，借助于助动词does强调谓语，后用动词原形do。

11. Every boy and every girl as well as some teachers who ____ to visit the museum ____ asked to be at the school gate before 6:30 in the morning．

A．are; are B．is; is C．are; is D．is; are

答案：C.

解析：本题是一个带有定语从句的复合句，定语从句修饰的是teachers，关系词在从句中作主语，应与先行词的数保持一致，故从句谓语用复数。句子主语是Every boy and every girl，当主语后面跟有with，together with，as well as等连接的词时，其谓语动词的单复数不受这些词语的影响。every...and every...作主语，谓语用单数。

12. On the contrary, I think it is Truman, ____ you, ____ to blame.

A. more than; are

B. less than; who are

C. rather than; that is

D. rather than; is

答案：C.

解析：分析句子成分是解答此题的关键。本题为强调句式，第二个空必须用who或that引导从句，因此可排除A项和D项；rather than意为“而不是”。此处强调的是Truman，故谓语动词应为单数。
