1.The factory used 65 percent of the raw materials,the rest of which ______ saved for other purposes.
A.is
B.are
C.was
D.were
D 句意:这家工厂用了65%的原材料,剩余的被作为它用。raw materials是先行词,which引导的定语从句中,the rest作主语;the rest作主语时,谓语的数由其后的名词而定,而which=raw materials,所以谓语要用复数形式;由主句中的时态可知,从句中要用一般过去时态。故选D项。.Onethird of the country ______covered with trees and the majority of the citizens ______ black people.
A.is;are
B.is;is
C.are;are
D.are;is
A “国家三分之一的领土”在概念上是单数,故系动词用单数;而 “国家公民的大多数”是复数,故系动词用复数。句意:这个国家三分之一的领土被树木覆盖且多数公民为黑人。故选A项。.The girl found the Tshirt sold online was______that in the supermarket.
A.as half cheap as
B.cheap as half as
C.the half price of
D.half the price of
D 句意:这个女孩发现网上卖的T恤衫是超市里卖的价格的一半。倍数的表达有三种方式:1)倍数+as+adj./adv.+as+被比对象,这一句型中,如果形容词修饰一单数可数名词,那么要把形容词提到冠词的前面来,即:倍数+as+adj.+a/an+单数可数名词+as+被比对象;2)倍数+形容词或者副词的比较级+than+被比对象;3)倍数+the+size/width/depth/length/height+of+被比对象。这里考查的是第三种形式。.______ of the land in that district ______ covered with trees and grass.
A.Two fifth;is
B.Two fifths;are
C.Two fifth;are
D.Two fifths;is
D 句意:那个地区五分之二的陆地都被绿树草地所覆盖。twofifths表示“五分之二”,分数或百分数作主语时,谓语动词的单复数要与of后的名词取得一致。land为不可数名词,故正确答案为D项。.Everyone,men and women,old and young ______ sports and games.
A.is enjoy
B.were enjoying
C.enjoys
D.enjoy

A.are;express
B.is;express
C.is;expresses
D.are;expresses
B 前一个public(公众)表示的是集体、整体,故谓语动词要用单数形式。后一个public表示的是个体,即公众中每个成员,故谓语动词要用复数形式。因此B项正确。7.Cattle ______ well in the country market at present,according to the evening news.
A.sell

D 本题考查单复数同形的名词作主语时谓语动词的形式。这一类动词有means,works,species等。句意:(政府)用尽一切办法来阻止水受污染。.Britain ____ many other industrialized countries,___ major changes over the last 100 years.
A.together with;have experienced
B.as well as;have experienced
C.in common with;has experienced
D.instead of;has experienced
C in common with意为“和……一样”,谓语动词单复数跟前面的主语保持一致。句意:与其他工业化国家一样,英国在过去100年里经历了重大的变化。 A、B两项第一空together with,as well as意思及用法与in common with类似,均错在第二空;D项instead of “而不是”,不合句意。.It's said that ______ of the students ______ absent.
A.threefifth;are
