Answer 1

D

试题分析：考查主谓一致：句意：老师和学生在讨论最近美国出版的“Reading Skills”。第一空填is，因为主语被together with连接，满足就前原则，所以第一空选is;后一空是考定语从句，Reading Skills 是一本书的名字，应该当做单数处理，故选was. 选D 点评：在英语中，句子的主语和谓语动词要保持数上的一致关系，叫主谓一致。这种关系通常要遵循下面三条原则：1．语法一致原则。句子的主语是单数形式，谓语动词要用单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语动词用复数形式2．意义一致原则即谓语动词该用单数还是复数取决于主语所表达的内容在含义是单数意义还是复数意义。3．邻近原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数形式，取决于最邻近它的名词、代词或其它词的数。
