  25. V. Q&A Question 5: 有哪些主谓一致问题属于语法一致原则呢？（至少15条） Answer 5: __________________________

  26. The End the scoring: Part 1 ------ 15’ Part 2 ------ 10’ Part 3 ------ 10’ Part 4 ------ 10’ Part 5 ------ 55’

  27. Question 1 • 如果and所连接的并列主语是表示单一概念，指的是同一事物，根据意义一致原则，其谓语动词用单数形式；如果由and连接的并列主语指不同的事物，根据语法一致原则，其谓语用复数形式。 • 第1句中的“waste and poison”指的是工农业排放的对环境不好的东西，特点是废弃与有毒，（指的是一种事物）因此，看作单数。 • 第2句中的“Chinese and Japanese silks”意为“Chinese silk and Japanese silk”（中国丝绸和日本丝绸），虽然省略了相同的中心词但也是指两个不同的事物，因此，该句的谓语要用复数形式。

  28. Question 2 • with，together with，as well as， rather than，no less than，but，except， besides，as much as等是属于“准连接词”，其作用与介词类似。一般情况下，主语后面跟上由这类词连接的成分，虽然主语和谓语隔开了，但谓语仍须和真正的主语保持一致。 • 在第3句中，其真正的主语是Dr Smith，所以谓语用单数形式； • 第4句属口语体，在这个句子中，with的意义和and相近，通常情况下根据意义一致的原则，即使主语是单数，谓语仍可用复数形式，因此，其谓语用复数形式。

  29. Question 3 答：more than从含义上来讲是表示复数，但当"more than one ＋名词单数"结构在句中作主语时，根据毗邻吸引原则，其后的谓语应该用单数形式。所以上述第13句的谓语用单数形式。  从含义上讲，"more ＋名词复数＋than one"和"more than one ＋名词单数"这两个结构表达的意思基本相同。但是前者所强调的是more后面的名词复数。根据意义一致原则，其后面的谓语应该是复数形式。所以，第14句的谓语用复数形式。

  30. Question 4 • 在"one of ＋名词复数（代词复数）＋关系分句"结构中，"关系分句"的谓语通常依照语法一致原则用复数形式。但是，有时为了强调one，这类结构里关系分句中的谓语也可用单数形式，因此，上述第 11句中的谓语既可用复数形式也可用单数形式。然而，在这类结构中的one被the或the only，the just等限定词或强调词修饰时，关系分句中的谓语则依据one的意义而用单数形式，所以第12句的谓语只能用单数形式。

  31. terr- • terr = the earth地球 terrestrial 地球上的 • Mediterranean Sea地中海(medi=middle,地中海处于欧亚非三大洲中间）； terra cotta兵马俑 terrace梯田； territory领土(ory名词结尾，象factory工厂）等等。 • terraceterracedterrainterrariumterreneterriblenessterrierTerrificallyterrine
