Answer 1

A

試題分析：當(dāng)主語中含有as well as，in addition to，(along)with，together with，except，besides，including等引導(dǎo)的詞組時，其謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)依據(jù)他們前面的主語而定。
如：Jack as well as his parents has been to China before.
故用單數(shù)，所以排除BD，
a larger amount of money作主語，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，故排除BC。A along with B作主語時，謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)與A的單復(fù)數(shù)一致，故用單數(shù)，所以排除BD，所以應(yīng)選A。
點(diǎn)評：本題難度適中。主謂一致是語法學(xué)習(xí)中的一個重點(diǎn), 也是一大難點(diǎn)。處理主謂一致需遵循三條原則, 即語法一致原則、意義一致原則和就近原則。然而, 在具體使用時, 考生常感困惑不解。
即學(xué)即練：These new facts, together withthe other evidence, _____（prove） the prisoner's innocence.
解析：prove.句意：這些新的事實(shí)連同其他證據(jù)已證明在押者無罪。
