真题再现

1. Barbara is easy to recognize as she’s the only one of the women who ________ evening dress.

A. wear

B. wears

C. has worn

D. have worn

解析：B。首先the only one of …为先行词时，定语从句修饰的是one，即one是主语，而非后面的复数women，根据主谓一致的原则，谓语动词应该用复数，排除A，D。另外，从“is”可以看出句子是要表示一种习惯，因此要用一般现在时，排除C，故选A

2. The number of foreign students attending Chinese universities ________ rising steadily since1990.

A. is

B. are

C. has been

D. have been

解析：C。主语是the number故谓语动词用单数，又因时间状语是since 1997所以用完成时态。

3. According to statistics, a man is more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer _________ a woman.

A. than

B. such

C. so

D. as

解析：D。本题考查比较级的结构，as ….. as , 注意句中的more than 只是修饰twice。

4. P eter’s jacket looked just the same as Jack’s, but it cost his.

A. as much twice as

B. twice as much as

C. much as twice as

D. as twice much as

解析：B。考查as----as同级比较前的修饰语位置。twice应该放在第一个as之前，选B符合。

5. Either you or one of your students ______ to attend the meeting that is due tomorrow.

A. are

B. is

C. have

D. be

解析：B。Either …or…. 连接两个主语，按就近原则来确定谓语的单复数。One of your students 谓语应用单数形式。

6.—Did you go to the show last night?

—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area invited.

A. were

B. have been

C. has been

D. was

解析：D。主语是every boy and girl，表示单数概念，故谓语动词用单数，且询问昨晚的情况，有明确的过去时间，所以应选择was。

7. hundreds/thousands/millions/billions/dozens/scores of。

She went to the bookstore and bought .

A. dozen books

B. dozens books

C. dozen of books

D. dozens of books

解析：D。dozen与数词或many，several连用时其后不加s；dozen前有基数词表示确切数字时，其后一般不与of连用。

其谓语动词用复数，故选D项。

8. A survey of the opinions of experts that three hours of outdoor exercise a week good for one’s health.

A. show; are

B. shows; is

C. show; is

D. shows; are

解析：B。由a survey可知第一个空用shows，首先排除A、C两项；第二个空前的时间three hours of outdoor exercise a week表示抽象概念，看作单数，故其谓语动词用单数形式。

9. As a result of the serious flood，two-thirds of the buildings in the area .

A. need repairing

B. needs to repair

C. needs repairing

D. need to repair

解析：A。分数、百分数修饰名词，谓语动词的单复数取决于名词，此处two-thirds修饰buildings，故谓语动词取决于名词复数buildings ，排除B、C两项，need doing=need to be done 意为“需要被做”。

10. It is reported that the floods have left about people homeless.

A. two thousand

B. two-thousands

C. two thousands

D. two thousands of

解析：A。hundred，thousand，million，billion，dozen，score等指具体数字时，不用复数形式, 如one hundred，two thousand，three million；指大约数字时，常用复数形式，如tens of，millions of，scores of等。

语法讲解

高考对数词的考查侧重于：数词表示确切数目和不确切数目的区别；数词复数的特殊用法；序数词前不用the的情况；dozen和score的特殊用法。对倍数的考查；主谓一致是历年高考试题中的主要考查内容之一，它主要以单项填空的形式来呈现，包括语法一致、意义一致和就近一致等，同时还涉及动词的时态、语态等。考生在掌握主谓一致的基本原则的同时，要特别注意分数、百分数等用作主语时的主谓一致和定语从句中的主谓一致情况。

数词的分类

数词分为基数词和序数词。它用来表示数目或顺序，表示数目多少的数词叫基数词；表示顺序的数词叫序数词。

基数词

基数词的复数用法：

基数词在用来表示准确数字的情况下不能加复数后缀“s”。以下基数词可以加复数后缀“s”，因为它们表达的都是大概的数字。

1. 与of 短语连用，表示概数，不能与具体数目连用，如thousands of / millions of / hundreds and hundreds of / hundreds of thousands of / thousands upon thousands of, scores of...

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the park.

2. 在一些表示“一排”或“一组”的词组里，如“in twos and threes 三三两两”。

They came home from church by twos and threes.

3. at sixes and sevens 乱七八糟

His wife was away and the house was at sixes and sevens.
