一、与动词时态结合起来考查

      【考例】 Of the nineteen recognized polar bear sub populations, three are declining, six ______ (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data. (2019年,全国卷Ⅰ)      【解析】根据three are declining可知,此处的数词six作主语,指代前文中的polar bear sub populations,所以谓语动词应该用复数,又因为整体时态为一般现在时,因此填are。      【高分技巧】主谓一致和动词时态一起考查时,可以把动词时态作为切入点,先判断句子应该使用的时态,再判断谓语动词的单复数。二、利用“就近一致”原则考查      【考例】 Also, because cheer leading isn’t yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings _____ (provide) to ensure safety.      【解析】neither ... nor ... 连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词与离其最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致。provide和ceilings构成被动关系,因此填 are provided。      【高分技巧】考查主谓一致的“就近一致”原则的常用词组有not only ... but also ...、 not ... but ...、 either ... or ...、neither ... nor ...等,这些词组在连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数要与离其最近的主语的单复数保持一致。三、在主语后有短语、从句等插入语      【考例】 The musician along with his band members ______ (give) ten performances in the last three months. (2019年,江苏卷)      【解析】 the musician作主语,谓语动词应该用单数形式,而与 along with his band members无关,因此填 has given。      【高分技巧】“单数名词或单数代词 + but / besides / except / including / like / with / along with / as well as / rather than / such as / together with + 名词或代词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数。在分析题干时,要学会排除主语后的短语、从句等插入语的干扰,这样才能提高答题的准确率。四、在倒装句中考查主谓一致     【考例】 That’s because there ______ (be) a number of automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use.     【解析】句子主语为a number of automation technologies,中心词为technologies,因此谓语动词用复数形式 are。     【高分技巧】倒装可分为全部倒装和部分倒装两种形式。由于句子使用了倒装语序,谓语动词的一部分或全部放在了主语之前。对于这种试题,可先依据倒装知识找准句子的主语,然后再依据主谓一致的相关知识判断谓语动词的单复数。
