答案or原因。

Answer 1

1. D。这里主语是nobody，谓语动词应用单数形式，介词but后的部分不是主语部分。
2. C。the others意思是“其他东西，其余的人”。特指某一范围内的“其他的（人或物）”，这里特指的范围是那三个小孩。
3. C。解释详见参考资料连接
4. A。the number of ...：短语:XX的数目是；two thirds表示三分之二，英语分数表达：基数词+序数词，基数词大于1，序数词要用复数
5. exists。existence,名词，存在，生存，存在物；exist,不及物动词，存在。Life ，生命，在这里看作一个整体，因此动词用第三人称单数。也许生命存在于其它星球。
6. lightening。light，作名词时表示光，灯；作形容词时表示轻的、光亮的；作动词表示照亮、点燃。lightning，不及物动词，闪电。thunder，不及物动词，打雷。我们害怕闪电和打雷。
7. we can，这个不懂解释，凭感觉
8. strong enough，too...to，太xxx而不能xxx，我们太虚弱而无法开门。搭配：形容词+enough，enough+名词（enough money），我们不够强壮而无法开门。

Answer 2

1.Nobody but Jack and Mary（ .is ）in the language lab yesterday.
A.are B.were C.is D.was
因为这句的主语是Nobody不是后面的Jack and Mary，所以当不定代词作主语谓语用单数。
2.We saw three children under the tree.One is boy,( the other two
)are girls.
三个孩子，一个是男孩子。其它两个是特指要有定冠词表示，C.others 不是特指。
A.the other B.other two C.others D.the other two
3.To tell you ( the )truth,Mrs Bird.I don't like children,either.
A.a B.an C.the D./
这是一固定搭配。实话说。
4.( The number; )of the teachers in our school is about one hundred,and( two thirds )od them are wamen teachers.
A.The number;two thirds B.The number;two third C.A number;half D.A number;three quarters
The number of 修饰可数名词复数表示。。。的数量。作主语谓语用单数。
A number of修饰可数名词作语谓语用复数，大量的意思。分数表达正确的有two thirds ，three quarters 。half介前空正确的只有A。

5.Maybe life( existences )on other planets.(existence) 。 life不可数名词作语谓语用单数。
6.We are afraid of ( lightning )and thurder.(light) lightning 闪电
7.We'll run as fast as possible.(保持原意)
We'll run as fast as （ we ）（ can ）
8.We are too weak to open the door.（保持原意)
We are not （ strong ）（ enough ）to open the door.

Answer 3

1.D----nobody做主语时，谓语动词用单数，又是过去式
2.A----one。。。the other。。。是固定句式
3.A----truth不是元音发音，也不是独一无二的东西
