语法精析精练
主谓一致
考点提示:主谓一致主要分布于短文改错,难度低。
一、主谓一致依据的三个原则
1. 语法一致原则
句子谓语和主语在人称和数上一致。主语为单数形式,即单数名词或代词、动词不定式、动名词,谓语动词一般要用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。
Whether she comes or not is of no matter.
她来不来都是无关紧要的琐事。
2. 意义一致原则
句子谓语的单复数与主语的意义一致,即主语形式是单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数;反之,主语形式是复数,但意义是单数,谓语动词用单数。
Twenty years is a long time in one’s life.
一个人的一生中二十年是一段很长的时间。
3. 就近原则
句子谓语与其最近的主语一致。此原则主要用于当句子有两个或以上主语的情况。
He didn’t say whether some English novels or an English dictionary was wanted.
他没有说需要几本英文小说还是需要一本英文词典。
二、高考试题主谓一致的考查重点
1. 名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数与主语在语法形式上保持一致。
2. 集体名词作主语
集体名词family,team,class,group,club等作主语时,谓语动词的单复数要根据集体名词所指的意义决定。当集体名词作为一个整体时,谓语动词用单数;如果指其中的各个成员,谓语动词则用复数。
注意:
集体名词people,police,cattle等作主语时,谓语动词都用复数。
3. 主语后面跟有as well as,with,along with,together with,like,rather than,but,except,besides,including,in addition to等引出的词组时,谓语动词的单复数由前面的主语确定。
4. 由or,either... or...,neither... nor...,not only... but (also)...,whether... or...等连接的并列主语,谓语动词的单复数根据就近原则,与邻近的主语保持一致。
5. 定语从句中的主谓一致
当引导定语从句的关系代词在从句中充当主语时,从句的谓语动词的单复数应由从句前的先行词确定。注意找到先行词是关键。
He is the only one of the students in the class who has been to the Great Wall.(先行词是the only one)
他是班里学生中唯一去过长城的。

第二部分 阅读理解(第一节共10小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

Happiness training at work can be extremely good for the company as well as the individual. A few short training days can produce huge benefits(好处). The cost is very small, but the positive effects can be everlasting. There are so many benefits of happiness training at work. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
________________________ :
Happiness at home: One of the benefits for happiness at work is that people will go home happier. Being happier at home translates into a benefit to business because a better mental state and a proper rest will mean employees can work more efficiently and productively the next day. They will be far less likely to take time off either because of poor health or excuses.
Emotional intelligence: There is a change toward stress reduction, as people are taught happiness and begin to practise it at work. Happiness increases emotional control for the individual. It will increase the individual’s skills to deal with problems, and the ability to improve his self—control.
Increased focus: Happiness is responsible for creating an increased ability to focus on the job at hand or the problem to be solved. People will waste less time and be more in the “flow”.
Loving work: Happiness at work creates the environment for people to actually love what they do. They begin to experience the feeling of loving their work. Since an employee spends 8 to 10 hours, 5 days a week at work, it accounts for a great deal of his life.
Valuing their positions: The reason why people can actually love work is that the management is giving people an opportunity to use happiness in their life during working hours. Happiness allows workers to value their positions at work and feel good about their responsibilities and duties.
Feeling appreciated: How do all these benefits take place not only for the worker but for the management as well? One of the ingredients to happiness is gratefulness. When you make someone feel appreciated, he feels better about himself and what he is doing for the company. He feels like he is making a contribution to the other people in the company and to the people who buy the products and services of his company. Employees feel they are making a difference.
36. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Happiness training at work does good to people.
B. Employees aren’t making a difference when appreciated.
C. People, being happy, will not concentrate on jobs.
D. Being happier at home doesn’t bring benefits to business.
37. Which of the following benefits to the individual can be brought by happiness training at work?
A. He will ask for more days off.
B. He will pay less attention to his job.
C. He will deal with the problems less efficiently.
D. He will devote more to the company.
38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Happiness training at work.
B. Loving work.
C. 5 days a week at work.
D. Spending 8 to 10 hours on work.
39. What can be best placed in the blank?
A. Happiness training at work.
B. Benefits for the company.
C. Benefits for the individual.
D. Benefits of training.
B
There were no weapons on board or concerns about terrorism, but an American Eagle flight about to take off from the Raleigh—Durham, N.C., airport turned back to its gate on Monday to remove two passengers.
The criminals? An upset, autistic(自闭症的)child and his mother.
By all accounts, the two—year—old Jarret Farrell wasn’t a happy traveler. But his mother, Janice Farrell, who said she tried everything to calm her son, believed there was no reason for the airline to kick them off the plane.
The airline disagreed, saying they were removed mainly because Janice Farrell kept her carry—on bag on the floor in front of her seat, but that Jarret’s behavior added to the tense situation.
“The child had been crying and screaming uncontrollably, to the point where the child’s well being was in question,” American Airlines, the parent company of American Eagle, said in a statement. “Though, ultimately the parent’s violation of FAA regulations was the cause for removal, both situations contributed to an uncomfortable and potentially unsafe atmosphere for our passengers and staff.”
But Farrell told “GMA” that she allowed the flight attendant to place her bag in an overhead separate section. And, Farrell said even though she explained Jarret’s autism to the flight staff, they only made the situation worse by scolding and shouting at the child.
“The flight attendant kept coming over and pulling his seatbelt to make it tighter, ‘This has to stay tight.’ And then he was moving around and trying to get out of his seatbelt. And she kept coming over, scolding him and yelling at him.” Farrell told ABC News Raleigh—Durham affiliate WTVD.

You’ll find this same pattern can be true in a job hunt. Granted, we’re in hard times and it can keep you from getting hired. But you must do everything within your power to be the best job seeker.
With that in mind, look over these 5 ways in which you might be unknowingly damaging your job search:
1. Thinking you’ll never need to look for another job
You love your job and that’s great. If you’re happy there and see a bright future, I hope you never have to leave. Though, you should always be prepared for the day you have to move on. Even if the boss loves you, things can change. Continue to renew your resumé(简历)while you’re employed so that you have an exact record of your achievement.
2. Burning bridges
We love the scenes in movies where the displeased employee finally tells off the boss, only to live a happy and satisfying life. In real life, these images are probably unemployed because they don’t have good references, and no employer wants to hire someone with a polluted reputation.
3. Keeping silent on your job search
Most people aren’t full of enthusiasm about being unemployed, and if you were laid off(失业)it’s understandable that you don’t want to spend all your time talking about it. But you need a relationship network; it’s one of the most effective ways to find a job. But that won’t happen if no one knows you’re looking for new career opportunities.
4. Looking for “The One”
Although you want to conduct a focused job search, you need to keep an open mind. With any luck, you’ll land the perfect performance but sometimes you have to take a job that has most of the qualities you want—not all of them. If the pay is right, the requirements are in line with your experience and the opportunities for promotion are good, then you might have to overlook the fact that you have to wake up 30 minutes earlier than you’d like.
5. Not searching at all
This mistake probably seems obvious, but as anyone who’s been on a long job hunt can tell you, discouragement is easy to come by. A few weeks or months without a job and enough news on layoffs are enough to convince you that no one is hiring. Without questioning the market’s competitiveness, but if you’re not actively looking for work, don’t expect it to fall in your lap.
43. It can be inferred that ___ .
A. only in the 5 ways can we find a good job
B. we should change our jobs soon
C. we should be best job seekers
D. we may lose our jobs at any time
44. According to the last paragraph, ___ .
A. not searching for a job is a pleasure
B. anyone who fails to find a job can’t help you
C. when seeking a job, you should be positive
D. the news without a job can prove you won’t find a job
45. What can you know from the passage?
A. You should only accept the job with all requirements fitting you well.
B. You can accept a job with most of requirements fitting you well.
C. You don’t need to wake up 30 minutes earlier than you’d like.
D. You should accept whatever job the company offers you.
第二节 下面文章中有5处(第46~50题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up—and—coming musicians?
B. Did anyone support your musical education when you were growing up?
C. What kind of “world music” do you enjoy?
D. What’s your comment on pop music?
E. Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?
F. What’s wrong with the music on the radio?
An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician.
46. _______________
There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture(培育)my talent and the talents of other students in our school.
47. _______________
Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald—those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.
48. _______________
Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence(抑扬顿挫)of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.
49. _______________
The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming(势不可挡的). Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.
50. _______________
The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small part of it. Because some people are frightened by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is exceptional. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.
