　　答案： 1. was　2. have　3. are　4. is　5. are 1. Entering the room, the headmaster said, “Everyone ________ quiet, please.”

　　A. keep

　　B. keeps

　　C. is keeping

　　D. to keep 【分析】A　此題容易誤選B，因為主語 everyone通常被視為第三人稱單數(shù)，所以其后謂語用 keeps。但事實上，最佳答案應(yīng)是A，注意句末的 please，它表明此直接引語為祈使句，只不過該祈使句帶上 everyone 這個主語。既然是祈使句，所以動詞用原形，即選A。 2. In fact, ________ one cause that leads to the problem.

　　A. cattle is

　　B. cattle are

　　C. cattles are

　　D. the cattles are 【分析】B　從表面上看，此題似乎應(yīng)選A，其實，正確答案為B。cattle (牲畜，牛)為集合名詞，用作復(fù)數(shù)意義，但不用于復(fù)數(shù)形式(即不加復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s)，若用作主語，謂語要用復(fù)數(shù)。 3. More than one student ________ read these novels, which ________ written by David.

　　C. has; were

　　D. have; was 【分析】C　此題容易誤選B，其實最佳答案為C。more than one student (不止一個學(xué)生) 從形式上看是單數(shù)，但從意義上卻是復(fù)數(shù)，它用作主語時，英語習(xí)慣上讓其謂語與該主語的形式(而不是意義)保持一致，即用單數(shù)謂語。至于第二空要用復(fù)數(shù)，因為which指的是novels，故謂語用were。 高效語法復(fù)習(xí)篇
