英语高手请进，主谓一致问题

1.more than one student in the class _to the museum. A has been kept B have been 2.one or perhaps more pages _ A is missing B are missing 3.her politics_neither conservation nor liberal A are B was 选什么为何这样选？拜托各位帮帮我！

Answer 1

1.A
原因：在一些短语，如
many
a
或
more
than
one
所修饰的词作主语时，谓语动词多用单数形式。但由more
than…
of
作主语时，动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。
Many
a
person
has
read
the
novel.
许多人都读过这本书。
More
than
60
percent
of
the
students
are
from
the
city.百分之六十多的学生都来自这个城市。
2.B
原因：由or,
either...or...,
neither...nor...,
not
only...but
also...,
not...but...等连接并列主语时,谓语动词的数通常遵循“就近一致”的原则,即谓语动词的单、复数形式依最接近它的主语而定。特别要注意疑问句中谓语动词的形式。如:
Either
her
father
or
her
mother
calls
for
her
every
afternoon.
－
Are
either
you
or
he
to
go
there
?
－
Neither
is.
Neither
the
president
of
the
company
nor
the
sales
manager
is
a
college
graduate.
3.B
原因：一些以-ics结尾的学科名词,如mathematics
/politics
/
physics以及news/works(工厂)/means等在形式上似乎是名词的复数形式,但多用作单数名词,此类名词作主语时,谓语动词一般使用单数形式。如:
The
paper
works
was
built
in
1990.
Every
possible
means
has
been
used
to
prevent
the
air
pollution,
but
the
sky
is
still
not
clear.
