参考答案
1．B．[解析]该题考查的是主谓一致。Ten years通常被看作是一个时间整体，谓语动词用单数形式。
2．D．[解析]该题考查的是主谓一致。如果由not only…but also连接两个并列主语，其谓语动词同相邻的
主语保持一致，谓语动词应用单数形式。又因为他们还都没有回来，所以用has gone而不用has been。
3．A．[解析]该题考查的是主谓一致。Neither…nor是一组连词，可连接连个并列主语，其谓语动词应同靠近的主语I保持一致, 因此应选A。
4．A．[解析]该题考查的是主谓一致。这个句子的主语是a number of deer, 是个复数概念，因此谓语动词应用复数形式。（deer单复数相同）
5．C．[解析]本题考查主谓一致的用法。the number of 后接复数名词，作主语时，其谓语动词用单数形式。故应选C。
6．A．[解析]本题考查主谓一致的用法。the number of 后接复数名词，作主语时，其谓语动词用单数形式。故应选A。7．B。"不仅是我而且简和玛莉都已厌烦了一个接着一个的考试。"not only…需用到就近原则，but also之后又是两个人，是复数。故选B。
8．A．[解析] "一座藏书量是5000册的图书馆作为礼物送给了那个国家。"要找出这句话的主说是a library还是books，根据主谓一致原则with后面的短语是修饰、补充主语的情况的，故主语应是a library，又因为此题是被动语态，因此选择A。
9．A．[解析] "还未决定何时何地建设新工厂。""两个并列连词+主语+谓语"作主语看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数，根据题意又应用被动语态，故选A。
10．C．[解析] "邀请人的数目是50人，但是许多人由于各种原因都缺席了。""the number of+复数名词"意为"……的数量"，作主语，谓语动词用单数；"a number of+复数名词"意为"许多"，作主语，谓语动词用复数。
11．C．[解析] "一座纪念碑耸立在两楼之间。"倒装句的谓语动词要与后面的主语保持一致。
12．D．[解析] "许多学生以前就犯过这种错误。""many a"虽然表达复数概念，意为"许多"，但当它作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
13．A．[解析] "钱都不属于他。"none作主语，谓语动词单复数都可，但这里的money为不可数名词，因此用单数形式为好，而belong to才是"属于"的意思，所以选A。
14．B．[解析] "昨天做了大约3／5的工作。"主语含有分数，百分比等等，谓语动词要根据其后面的名词而定，是不可数名词和单数可数名词，谓语动词用单数，是复数名词，谓语动词用复数。
15．B．[解析]句中的主语是your sister和mine，由并列连词neither…nor连在一起，所以谓语动词要与后一个主语mine相一致，这里mine指my sister。
