【考题展示】
【考例1】（2022新高考全国I卷）The plan will extend protection to a significant number of areas that
_____ (be) previously unprotected, bringing many of the existing protected areas for giant pandas under one
authority to increase effectiveness and reduce inconsistencies in management.
答案与解析：were。考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知，空处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语，
先行词为a significant number of areas，先行词在从句中作主语，根据“previously (之前地)”可知从句的时态
应为一般过去时，根据主谓一致，从句主语复数，从句谓语要用复数形式。故填were。句意：该计划将把
保护范围扩大到大量以前未受保护的地区，将许多现有的大熊猫保护区纳入一个管理机构，以提高效率，
减少管理上的不一致性。
【考例2】（2022新高考全国I卷）The GPNP (design)to reflect the guiding principle of
“protecting the authenticity and integrity(完整性)of natural ecosystems, preserving biological diversity, protecting
ecological buffer zones, and leaving behind precious natural assets(资产)for future generations”.
答案与解析：is designed。考查时态语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知，空处在句中作谓语，和句子的
主语The GPNP之间为被动关系；叙述客观事实，应用一般现在时。故设空处应为一般现在时的被动语态，
主语单数，谓语应用单数形式。故填is designed。句意：GPNP旨在体现“保护自然生态系统的真实性和完
整性，保护生物多样性，保护生态缓冲区，为子孙后代留下宝贵的自然资产”的指导原则。
【考例3】（2022年浙江1月卷） But Cobb and others （be） now questioning that idea
pushing conferences to provide more chances to participate remotely, and changing their personal behavior to do
their part in dealing with the climate change crisis.
答案与解析：are。考查时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，此处也应使用现在进行时，主语为复数，故
填are。句意：但是现在Cobb和其他人正在质疑那个想法，推动会议提供更多远程参加的机会以及为了尽
自己的能力来应对气候变化危机，他们正在改变他们的个人行为。
【考例4】（2021新高考II卷）I kept going. Whenever I heard of businesses using plastic, I'd send an
email. One of the biggest companies I wrote to (be) Alaska Airlines Paris.
答案与解析：was。考查时态和主谓一致。 根据定语从句的谓语动词“wrote” 可知这里描述发生在过
去的事情，用一般过去时；one of + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数结构中，谓语动词用单数，所以填was。句意：我给写信的最大的公司之一是巴黎阿拉斯加航空公司。
【考例5】（2021浙江1月卷）In cities, however, the gain (be) 1. 3 in women and 1. 6 in men.
答案与解析：was。考查主谓一致和动词时态。分析句子结构可知，句子缺少谓语，主语（gain）是单
数，时态是一般过去时，故填was。句意：然而，在城市中，女性增加了1.3，男性增加了1.6。
【考例6】（2020·海南·高考真题）Because the number of possible topics （be）practically
limitless, we focus on a sample of the most interesting and useful applications and tools and explain the basic
principles of technology.
答案与解析：is。考查主谓一致。句意：因为可能的主题的数量几乎是无限的，所以我们关注最有趣
和最有用的应用程序和工具的一个示例，并解释技术的基本原理。the number of ……的数目，后接可数名
词的复数形式，谓语动词用单数。根据文章中的时态可知，用一般现在时。故填is。
【主谓一致概况】
英语的一致关系中其中一条就是要求谓语动词与主语之间保持人称和数的一致，这就是主谓一致。问
题的关键是要清楚到底谁是主语，谓语动词到底与哪一个词保持一致，确定主语的标准是什么，这些问题
就是本节所要解决的问题。
通常形式下主语是复数形式，谓语动词就用复数；主语是不可数名词或单数形式，谓语动词就用单
数，如：
(METXXXX) --- Have you heard the news about Tom?
--- No, what ____?
A. is it B. it is C. are they D. they are
分析：根据上下文的意思可以看出是在问“什么消息”，所用的代词应该指代不可数名词 the news，
那么只可以用it代替，而it实际上是代词的单数形式，故选A。
(METXXXX) A good deal of money ____ spent on books.
A. have B. has C. have been *D. has been
分析：主语是不可数名词money，而且谓语动词要用被动语态，故选D。
但是在事实际运用当中情况要复杂得多，下面就具体情况分考点说明。
【主谓一致考点解读】一、谓语动词用单数形式
考点一、表示时间、距离、价格、重量、温度等数目的名词复数形式作为主语时，通常把其看作是一
个整体，谓语动词用单数形式。如：
1）Twenty five dollars was all he could earned a week.
他每周所能挣到的钱就二十五美元。
2）Twenty years is only a short time in human history.
在人类历史中，二十年事实短暂的时间。
考点二、用不可数名词、非谓语动词中的动词ing形式、不定式或者是用主语从句作主语时，谓语动
词用单数形式。如：
1）(NMETXXXX) When and where to build the new factory _______ yet.
A. is not decided B. are not decided
*C. has not been decided D. have not been decided
分析：主语是不定式形式，B、D是复数，再根据题中的完成时标志yet的提示可知C正确。
2) When we will discuss this problem hasn’t been decided yet.
我们何时讨论这个问题还没有顶下来。
【考例】It is important to remember that success ________ a sum of small efforts made each day and often
________ years of achieve. （XXXX·湖南卷27）
A. is; takes B. are; takes C. are; take D. is; take
【答案与解析】A。根据并列连词and看出前后两空共用主语success“成功”，此处是不可数名词，谓
语用单数。
考点三、以-s结尾书、报刊、地名、组织名称或是以-ics结尾的表示学科、疾病的名词作主语时，谓语
动词用单数。如：
1）(METXXXX) Mathematics _____ the language of science.
*A. is B. are going to C. are
分析：mathematics表示“数学”学科，所以用单数，类似如：politics(政治)/ physics/ optics(光学)/
2）(METXXXX) His “Selected Poems”______ first published in 1965.
A. were *B. was C. has been
分析：表示书名，是专有名词，所以用单数。
再如：The United States is made up of 50 states. 美国由有50个州。
考点四、由and并列的两个主语用来指同一个人、同一事物或同一概念时，或是在and并列的两个可数名词的单数形式前有every/ each/ no/ many a修饰，则谓语动词用单数。如：
1) The professor and writer is going to give us a lecture on how to write.
这位教授兼作家要就如何写作给我们作一个专题讲座。（第二个名词 writer前没有冠词，指一个人
的两种身份）
试比较：The professor and the writer is going to give us a lecture on how to write.
教授和作家要就如何写作给我们作一个专题讲座。（两个名词professor和writer前都有冠词，指两
个人）
2）All work and no play makes Jack dull boy. 只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻。
常用的有：bread and butter(黄油面包) a knife and fork(一副刀叉) a cart and horse(一辆马车)
needle and thread(针线)
3) Every boy and every girl is to attend the meeting to be held this afternoon.
所有的同学都要参加今天下午举行的会议。
考点五、不定代词someone/ anyone/ no one/everyone; somebody/ anybody/ nobody; something/ anything/
nothing或是用each/ every/whole/ neither/ either/ many a/ more than one等跟单数名词连用时。如：
1) Nothing is permitted; everything is allowed. 一切不准许，可一切又能容许。
2) The whole nation was deep into sorrow at the news of Deng Xiaoping’s death.
听到邓小平逝世的消息，全国人民陷入沉痛之中。
3）(NMETXXXX) --- Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, _____ to go to university.
--- So do I.
A. hope *B. hopes C. hoping D. hoped
比较：Each of us has a new bicycle.(主语是each，谓语动词用单数)
We each have a new bicycle.（主语是we，each是同位语，谓语动词用复数）
注意：代词each和由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语，或主语中含有each, every谓语需
用单数；在代词none, some, any, more, most, all等的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定；either和neither看
作单数，none单复数均可。如：
Larry asks Bill and Peter to go on a picnic with him, but neither of them wants to, because they have work to
do. （XXXX全国卷）
My brother would like to buy a good watch but none was available from that shop. （XXXX江西卷）
【考例】All we need a small piece of land where we can plant various kinds of fruit trees throughout
the growing seasons of the year. (XXXX湖南卷)
A. are was C. is D. were【答案与解析】C。根据后面can plant看出用一般现在时，再根据句意看出all代指a small piece of
land，所以谓动用单数。
考点六、man用单数形式且没有冠词表示“人类”；the world表示“世人”。如：
1) What wonderful things Man has achieved.
2) All the world knows that the earth goes around the sun.
二、谓语动词用复数形式
考点一、主语是可数名词复数，与定冠词the连用的1）表示某姓氏的夫妇或一家人 2）形容词表示一类
人。如：
1) The Smiths often play with their children in their spare time.
在业余时间里史密斯夫妇常和孩子们一起玩。
2）The disabled have been paid more attention to by our government in the past few years.
在过去的几年里，我们的政府更加关注残疾人。（类似的形容词还有blind/ poor/ rich/ living/
young/ old/ dead/ wounded等）
【考例】While there are amazing stories of instant transformation, for most of us the __69__ (change) are
gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. （XXXX全国卷I）
【答案与解析】changes。 因为这里缺少的是句子的主语，根据谓语动词 are可知主语是复数，故用
changes。
考点二、the与English/ Japanese/ Swiss/ French /people/ police/ cattle/ folk集体名词一起时。如：
1）The Chinese were a highly civilized people long before the Europeans were.
中国人在欧洲人很久以前就是一个高度文明的民族了。
2）Look, the cattle are eating grass in the hill. There is no need for you to look for them at all.
三、根据就近原则决定谓语动词的单复数形式
考点一、并列连词either…or/ neither…nor/ not only…but also/ not…but等连接两个名词或代词作主
语时，谓语动词与相邻的主语保持一致。考例；
1） (上海XXXX) Either you or the headmaster ____ the prizes to these gifted students at the meeting.
A. is handing out B. are to hand out
C. are handing out *D. is to hand out分析：根据就近原则可以判定谓语动词的人称和数与the headmaster保持一致，所以用单数，排除
A、B；根据句意可以看出奖品还没有颁发，所以指将来，而be to do sth结构可以表示按计划或要求将要做
某事，故选D。
2）Not only Tom but also his parents like playing football.
不仅汤姆喜欢踢足球，他父母也喜欢踢足球。（含义是大家可能已经知道汤姆喜欢踢足球，本句
主要是为了让大家知道汤姆的父母也喜欢踢足球，所以根据意思也可以判定用单数）
试比较： Tom as well as his parents likes playing football.
汤姆和他父母一样也父母也喜欢踢足球。（大家可能已经知道汤姆的父母喜欢踢足球，
强调汤姆也喜欢，所以主语在前，是Tom，谓语动词用第三人称单数）
【考例】The basketball coach, as well as his team, ______interviewed shortly after the match for their outstanding
performance. （XXXX陕西卷）
A. were B. was C. is D. are
【答案与解析】B。根据shortly after the match确定是一般过去时，主语中心词是the basketball coach，
谓动是单数。
考点二、there be句型
通常根据最靠近be动词的名词决定be动词或是可以用于there be句型的像exist/ stand/ live等词的形
式。如：
1) There is an orange, two apples and some bananas on the plate.
2) There stands a big tree and some bamboo.
四、根据远邻原则决定谓语动词的单复数形式
是指在主语后面如果跟有as well as (不但…而且)/ besides/ more than/ rather than/ but/ along with/
with/ beyond/ except/ in addition to/ including like/ 等词时，谓语动词的人称和数仍然与前面的名词保持一
致，因为后面的名词或代词确切地说是介词宾语，与上述这些词一起构成了后置定语，用来补充说明，不
应该看作是主语。考例：
1）（上海春招XXXX）No one in the department but Tom and I ____ that the director is going to resign.
*A. knows B. know C. have known D. am to know
分析：句子的主语实际上是No one，Tom and I是介词but的宾语，故选A。
2）（METXXXX）Nobody but Jane ____ the secret.A. know *B. knows C. have known D. is known
3）(上海XXXX) E-mail, as well as telephones, ______ an important part in daily communication.
*A. is playing B. have played C. are playing D. play
分析：as well as连接的两个名词或代词强调前者，与not only…but also不同，本题的主语是E-
mail，所以谓语动词用单数，故选A。
4）（XXXX 北京）The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of class, _____ visiting a museum when the
earthquake struck.
*A. was B. were C. had been D. would be
分析：从句子的意思看是一共有七个人，但是主语是The teacher,所以谓语动词用单数，故选A。
考点五、定语从句中的主谓一致情况
定语从句的关系代词如果在从句中作主语，那么定语从句的谓语动词应该与先行词保持一致。这就
要求要能够分清先行词。
1) These books are intended specially for those who are beginners.
这些书是专门为那些初学者出版的。（who引导的定语从句并且在从句中作主语，谓语动词 are
与先行词those保持一致，所以用复数。）
2) (上海春招XXXX)He is the only one of the students who ___ a winner of scholarship for three years.
*A. is B. are C. have been D. had been
分析：通常one of+名词复数跟定语从句，如果定语从句的关系代词在从句中作主语，那么从句的谓语
动词跟作先行词的名词复数一致，用复数形式，但是当前面的 one被the only/ the very修饰限制时，先行词
就是one了，所以此时定语从句的谓语动词就要用单数，故本题选A，要抓住题中起暗示作用的the only。
3) (上海XXXX) She is one of the few girls who _____ in the kindergarten.
A. is well paid *B. are well paid
C. is paying well D. are paying well
考点六、根据具体情况谓语动词考虑单复数
考点一、集体名词作主语
像 army/ class/ family/ team/party/ enemy/ group/ government/ couple/ audience(观众)/ crew/ crowd/company/committee(委员会)/class/ family/ band/ public等作主语时，如果指集体概念，谓语动词用复数形
式；如果指具体成员，则谓语动词用单数形式。如：
1) The young couple lives a happy life.这对夫妻过着幸福的生活。（强调一对）
The young are quarrelling with each other about money.
这对夫妻在为钱的问题吵架。（强调两个人）
2）This class is made up of forty five students. 这个班有45位同学。
This class are all girls. 这个班的学生全都是女生。
Four classes are lining in front of the teaching building.
四个班级在教学楼前排队。
【考例】If they win the final tonight, the team ______ （be）going to tour around the city to be cheered by
their enthusiastic supporters. （改编自XXXX·浙江卷19）
【答案与解析】are。根据前面主语they和后面的动词tour，看出team强调作为个体的队员们，用复
数动词。
考点二、分数/百分数／the rest/ most/half/ all等+of+名词作主语
该结构的谓语动词的单复数形式不是由分数、百分数或the rest/ most of的本身所决定的，而是由介词
of后面的名词决定的。如果名词是可数名词复数，则谓语动词用复数；如果 of的名词是单数或不可数名
词，则谓语动词用单数。类似还有the rest/ most of/ half of等。考例：
１）(上海春招 XXXX) The manager entered the office and was happy to learn that four-fifths of the
tickets ______.
A. was booked *B. had been booked C. were booked D. have been booked
分析：four-fifths of the tickets中的tickets是可数名词复数形式，所以谓语动词用复数，排除A；根
据题干中的过去式排除D；从was happy可知book动作已经发生在前，即过去的过去，用过去完成时，故
选B。
２) The beginning was boring, but the rest was interesting.
开始部分十分枯燥，但是其余部分很有趣。
３) Most of them have been here; the rest are arriving later.
大部分已经到了，其他人稍后就到。（of后的名词指人，代词 them是复数形式）
当some作“一些”解跟复数名词作主语时，谓语动词用复数；当作“某个”解时跟可数名词单
数。如：
1）Some students like English; others like Chinese or history.一些学生喜欢英语，另一些学生喜欢汉语或历史。
２) Some student is waiting for you at the school gate. Hurry up.
快点，门口有一位同学在等你。（Some跟可数名词单数形式意思是“某个”）
考点三、what/ who/ which在主系表结构中，谓语动词形式要考虑表语
1) What she said is of great importance.
她所说的话十分重要。（What所表示的是所说的话，是不可数，故用单数）
2) What she left are only several old dictionaries.
他所留下的就是一些旧词典。（What所表示的内容就是old dictionaries，所以谓语动词用复
数）
考点七、主谓一致的个别情况
考点一、the number of+复数名词与a number of+复数名词
the number of结构中的number是中心词，意思是“……的数量”，所以作主语时，谓语动词用单
数；a number of的意思是“许多的”，相当于形容词，只修饰可数名词复数，所以作主语时谓语动词用复
数。考例：
1) (NMETXXXX) 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
2) (MET92) The number of students in this school _______ by 5% very year.
A. rise B. raise *C. rises D. raises
考点二、large quantities of /a large quantity of+可数名词复数/不可数名词
large amounts of/ a large amount of+不可数名词
谓语动词的单复数形式是由of前的名词本身所决定。a large quantity of+可数名词复数/不可数名词或
a large mounts of+不可数名词作主语，谓语动词用单数；large quantities of+可数名词复数/不可数名词或
large amounts of+不可数名词作主语，谓语动词用复数。考例：
(上海XXXX) As a result of destroying the forests, a large _____ of desert ____ covered the land.
A. number; has *B. quality; has C. number; have D. quality; have
考点三、means表示“方法、手段”作主语
不是根据means的形式，因为该词的单复数形式一样。主要看前面的修饰词，如果被these/ those/ all/both等复数意义的词修饰，则谓语动词用复数；如果被each/ every/ no等单数意义的词所修饰，则谓语动
词用单数。考例：
(上海春招XXXX) Every possible means _____ to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear.
A. is used B. are used *C. has been used D. have been used
分析：means被单数意义的every所修饰，所以谓语动词用单数形式，再根据后一分句可以知道到
现在“天空还不清晰”，故选C，用现在完成时。
考点四、population作主语
通常情况下用单数，但是当被分数或百分数所修饰限制时，谓语动词多用复数，尤其是其用作主语，
表语是复数形式时。如。
1）The population of China is under control. 中国的人口得到了控制。
2）Eight percent of the population of China are farmers. 中国80%的人口是农民。
考点五、倒装句的主谓一致
关键是能分清倒装句，倒装句的主语整个在谓语动词之后（全部倒装），或是在一部分谓语动词之
后（部分倒装）。如：
１）(METXXXX) On the wall ______ two large portraits.
A. hangs *B. hang C. hanged D. hanging
分析：On the wall是状语，为了强调地点而用了全部倒装，句子的主语是two large portraits，所以谓
语动词用复数，hanged意思是“吊死”，不合题意，故选B。
２）Such is our plan. 比较：Such are his words.
分析：有的把本句的such看作是主语，然后说是such表示后面表语的具体内容，或是说代替后面的
表语，这样会造成矛盾，导致先出现的代替后出现的的现象。不如就理解成是倒装句，句子的主语就是后
面的名词，那么谓语动词与主语保持一致，可以理解为：Our plan is such.或是His words are such.
考点七、表示成套的名词。如：trousers, shoes, glasses, compasses等作主语
谓语动词通常用复数形式，但是当前面有a pair of形式时，谓语动词用单数，当然如果用two / three/
four…pairs of。如：
1) My blue trousers are too long.
2) Her glasses are made in Taiwan.
3) A pair of glasses made in America costs quite a lot.牛刀小试：

第一组试题
1. 1) A 2) A 3) C
点拨：as well as的意思是“和……一样、不但……而且”，连接两个主语时强调前者，所以谓语动词与
前者保持人称和数的一致，故1）选A；not only…but also是并列连词，连接两个主语时，按照就
近原则，即与最靠近的主语保持人称和数的一致，故 2）选A，类似用法的词还有neither…nor,
either…or, not…but等；both…and连接两个主语时，谓语动词用复数，故3）选C
2. 1）D 2）C
点拨：根据时间状语for three years可知用完成时，排除A、B。“one of +名词复数+关系代词+谓语动
词…”句型中，关系代词在定语从句中作主语，其先行词就是复数名词，所以谓语动词与先行词一
致，用复数，故2）选C；但是当one前面有the/ the only/ the very等限制时，此时的关系代词指代
one，那么定语从句的谓语动词用单数，故1）选D。
3. 1）B 2) A 3) A
点拨：当each作主语时，谓语动词用单数，故1）选B；但是如果each作同位语，虽然是单数意义，谓
语动词应与主语一致，句3）的each作we的同位语，所以选A；句2）的主语those是复数代
词，故选A。
4. 1) C 2) D
点拨：A、B 项的分数表达有误，当分子大于1时，分母要用复数，应排除。当“分数+名词/代词”作
主语时，谓语动词应与名词/代词保持一致， 如果是单数或不可数，则谓语动词用单数。句 1）
land是不可数名词，故选C；句2）的wives是可数名词的复数形式，故选D。
5. 1) C 2) D
点拨：根据句中的still可知两题都用现在完成时，排除A、B。means的意思是“方法、手段”，是
单复数同形的名词，当其作主语时，谓语动词根据其前面修饰或限制词确定其单复数形式，当
被像the/ no/ every/ each/ this/ that等单数意义的词修饰或限制时，谓语动词用单数，如1）；当
被像all/ both/ these/ those等复数意义的词修饰或限制时，谓语动词用复数，如2）。
6. 1）B 2) A
点拨：倒装句的主语在谓语动词之后，因此其谓语动词不是与前面的名词或代词保持一致。hanging不
可以作谓语动词，hanged是hang指“吊死”意思时的过去分词，而此处的意思是“悬挂”，所以C、D在都不可以选。根据后面的主语，1）选B，2）选A。
7. 1）A 2） C
点拨：由两句的主语指物，而且是及物动词 offer的动作对象可以排除B、D。当有with/ together with/
along with/ but/ besides/ including等作主语的定语时，动词形式与主语保持人称和数的一致，故
1）选A；and并列两个主要主语时，谓语动词一般用复数，所以2）选C。
8. A 点拨：当不定式、动词的ing形式或从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
9. C 点拨：“the number of+复数名词或代词”的意思是“……的数目”，number是主语，谓语动词用
单数；“a number of+复数名词或代词” 的意思是“许多……”，相当于形容词作定语，而复数名词
或代词才是主语，所以谓语动词用复数，故选C。
10. B 点拨：a number of只可以跟可数名词的复数，而desert（沙漠）是不可数名词，所以排除A、C。短
语a quantity of的意思是“大量的、许多的”可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词，当其作主语时，谓语
动词都用单数，故选B。另外还可以用其复数形式，即quantities of，此时的主语用复数，也就是说谓
语动词的形式是由quantity的单复数形式决定的。
第二组试题：
KEY：1-5 BBDBA 6-10 ADBDA 11-15 DCAAD 16-20 BDDBB 21-25 CCADC 26-30 ABABB
31-35 DBADC 36 C
1-30 略
31. B 通常专有名词作主语，谓语动词用单数，但是The Olympic Games作主语时，谓语动词用复数，这
一点要记住，与一般的专有名词不同。
32. B 前一个the public表示集体，后一个表示其中的成员，所以前者用单数，后者用复数，故选B。
33. A 由于one被only所修饰，可以断定定语从句的先行词就是one，所以从句的谓语动词用单数形
式，故选A。 speak ill of的意思是“说……的坏话”。
34. D 此句中的any代指any books，所以谓语动词是复数，故选D。
35. C population表示“人口”的总称是不可数名词，作主语时谓语动词用单数，但是当有分数修饰时，
则看作是表示具体的人口，所以谓语动词用复数，故选C。
36. C “many a +单数名词”的意思是“许多”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数；a few用来修饰或指代复数
名词，所以作主语时谓语动词用复数，故选C。
