Question

几道英语选择题

（1）Everyone except Tom and John ( ) there when the meeting began.
A is B was C are D were
答案说选B 可是我怎么也想不明白
（2）Nothing but grass and trees ( ) the hills
A covers B cover C covering D are covering
答案为A 求解释
（3）More than one person here （ ）with the diease.
A has been infected B have been infected C has been infecting Dhave been infecting
答案A 一样求解释

Answer 1

1. began是过去式，A,C排除。主语是everyone，不定代词作主语，动词用单数

2. 首先判断该空填谓语动词，C排除，主语为nothing，不定代词作主语，动词用单数（同上）

3. 现在完成时的被动C,D排除，one person 是单数，所以是has

Answer 2

（1）Everyone except Tom and John ( ) there when the meeting began.
A is B was C are D were

该句主语是everyone，所以谓语动词用was

句子可以变成：
Everyone () there when the meeting began except Tom and John.

（2）Nothing but grass and trees ( ) the hills
A covers B cover C covering D are covering

该句主语是Nothing，所以谓语动词用covers

句子可以变成：
Nothing () the hills but grass and tree.

（3）More than one person here （ ）with the diease.
A has been infected B have been infected C has been infecting Dhave been infecting

这里采用就近原则

离谓语动词最近的是one person，所以用has

有不明白的地方欢迎追问，如果满意，请采纳~ 谢谢！

Answer 3

这几个词都要采用就远原则，即谓语动词的数要和离它远的主语一致。还有together\as well as等
