下面为大家介绍的是SAT语法中的主谓一致,这是很多考生都颇为关注的,希望可以帮助大家更好的进行备考,仅供大家参考。
出题套路1. 主语后面接复杂修饰 S + 长串修饰语 + v
A city is full of people.
A city in northern China
A city famous for its beautiful mountains
A city visited by large numbers of celebrities
A city consisting of several prosperous economic zones
A city, home of coffee beans,

例题1 (2005.03.S3.28)
The relationship between goby fish and striped shrimp are truly (A) symbiotic, for neither (B) can survive (C) without (D) the other. No Error (E)
【考题分析】
名词relationship后面between…and…为介词短语,做后置定语,句子真的主语是the relationship,单数。所以,谓语动词A单复数错,应该改成is truly。
例题2 (2010.05.S6.29)
French mountain honey made (A) from linden blossoms, which are sometimes called (B) “lime blossoms,” have (C) a distinctively (D) citrus flavor. No Error (E)
【考题分析】
名词honey后面made from为过去分词短语,做后置定语,句子真的主语是honey,不可数。所以,谓语动词C单复数错,应该改成has。
出题套路2:N1 of N2 + V
例题3 (2005.03.S3.20)
Careful analysis of pictures of the Moon reveal (A) that parts of the Moon’s surface are (B) markedly (C) similar to parts of the Earth’s (D). No Error (E)
【考题分析】
名词analysis后面of…为介词短语,做后置定语,句子真的主语是analysis,不可数。所以,谓语动词A单复数错,应该改成reveals。
例题4 (2009.05.S6.26)
The loyalty of British families to specific brands of toothpaste have (A) been cited by (B) historians as evidence (C) of the growing influence (D) of advertising during the early twentieth century. No error (E)
【考题分析】
名词loyalty后面of…为介词短语,做后置定语,句子真的主语是the loyalty,单数。所以,谓语动词A单复数错,应该改成has。
例题5 (2009.01.S6.23)
The three sections of my neighbor's newly planted (A) garden, each totally different (B) in design and composition, harmonizes (C) with one another (D) in color and texture. No error (E)
【考题分析】
名词three sections后面of…为介词短语,做后置定语,再后面双逗号之间each…composition也是插入成分,句子真的主语是three sections,复数。所以,谓语动词C单复数错,应该改成harmonize。
Attention:
• A colletion of/ A list of/An array of/A series of/A set of/A sequence of/A group of+复数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。
• The number of 的谓语动词用单数;A number of的谓语动词用复数。
出题套路3. 定语从句的主谓一致
N+that/which/who+V:V⇒N
a student who achieves 2400 in SAT
例题6 (09.01.S6.15)
The historic Woodacre building, which house (A) several univeristy departments, was demolished to make (B) room for (C) a parking lot, dismaying alumni who had supported (D) the university for decades. No error (E)
【考题分析】
定语从句which…修饰先行词单数building,所以定语从句的谓语动词house要与building单数一致,A错误。当然,本题真正的错误应该是时态错误。
特殊用法1:
N1 of/and/from/with N2+that+V:根据上下文判断that的指代对象
例题7 (09.05.S6.28)
Early rock and roll music, like (A) jazz and the blues, celebrated (B) characteristics of urban life that was once (C) only disparaged: loud, repetitive city sounds were reproduced as (D) raucous melodies and insistent rhythms. No error (E)
【考题分析】
定语从句that…前面有characteristics of urban life(N1 of N2结构),于是判断定语从句到底修饰谁,要靠语义:下文写道,loud, repetitive city sounds,可知定语从句修饰的是复数characteristics,于是定语从句谓语动词单数was错误,改成were。
例题8 (2010.1.S6.29)
The Bactrian camel is (A) well adapted to the extreme climate of its native Mongolia, having (B) thick fur and underwool that keeps (C) it warm in winter and also (D) insulate against summer heat. No Error (E)
【考题分析】
定语从句that…修饰先行词复数thick fur and underwool,所以定语从句的谓语动词单数keeps错误,要与thick fur and underwool复数一致,C错误,改为keep。
特殊用法2:
Only one of + Noun(复)+ that + V : V用复数
the (only) one of + Noun(复)+ that + V: V用单数
例题9 (09.10.S6.17)
Jason is (A) the only one of the three people I knew well (B) in middle school who still write (C) to me regularly (D). No Error (E)
【考题分析】
本题属于:the (only) one of + Noun(复)+ that + V: V用单数,所以C错误,改为writes。
出题套路4: There be句型的就近一致
• There is a movie theater in the downtown.
• There is an apple and two bananas.
• There are two bananas and an apple.
例题10 (09.10.S5.19)
There is (A), in spite of the large bay window and (B) the new floors, many reasons, such as the poor location and the small basement, for (C) Nancy not to buy (D) the house. No Error (E)
【考题分析】
there be结构,后面是双逗号in spite of插入语成分,真的谓语动词是复数many reasons,A错误,改为are。
出题套路5:就近一致 V⇒N2
• N 1 or N2
• Not N1 but N2
• Either N1 or N2
• N1 nor N2
• Not only N1 but also N2
• Neither N1 nor N2
