Question

16．Everyone except Ted and Jack______studying for the final test now．（　�。�

• A． are
• B． is
• C． were
• D． was

Answer 1

分析 除去Ted和Jack，每個(gè)人現(xiàn)在都在為期末考試復(fù)習(xí)．

解答 答案：B．
聯(lián)系語(yǔ)境，根據(jù)句子中關(guān)鍵詞now，判斷句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，構(gòu)成是：主語(yǔ)+am/is/are+動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞，排除選項(xiàng)C和D；根據(jù)句子中的Everyone except  Ted and Jack可判斷出其主語(yǔ)為單數(shù)everyone，根據(jù)主謂一致的使用規(guī)則，單數(shù)主語(yǔ)后面帶有except等引導(dǎo)的短語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍用單數(shù)．所以這里應(yīng)用be動(dòng)詞為is．故選B

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做題時(shí)一定要抓住句中的關(guān)鍵詞來確定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的使用，做到主謂一致；還要注意時(shí)態(tài)問題，必要時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要做出相應(yīng)的改變．
