问题 选择题

All the employees except the manager ________ to work online at home.

A.encourages

B.encourage

C.is encouraged

D.are encouraged

答案

答案:D

题目分析:句意:所有的雇工除了经理之外都被鼓励在家网上工作。这里由介词连接的两部分谓语动词的单复数按介词前的主语来确定,所以这里根据All the employees来确定,它是复数所以排除AC;这里All the employees与encourage之间是被动关系,故选D。

点评:本题难度适中。主谓一致在高中是高中阶段重要的语法项目,它的各项情况比较多,需要考生平时多记多练。

即学即练:—Have all of you listened to the speech?

—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the class_____ invited.

A. were          B. have been     C. has been    D. was

解析:D。句意:由and连接的主语如果由every修饰时, 其谓语动词要用单数形式。句中表述的内容仅仅是过去的动作,所以用一般过去时态。

     Fashion isn't very environmentally-friendly because it makes people buy things they don't need, just

because they're new. We want to take care of the environment, we don't want to pollute the air and we

don't want to waste energy and resources. But we also want to be fashiona-ble. How can we buy fashionable

clothes and protect the environment?

     Old styles are fashionable again, so one way is to buy second-hand clothes - recycled clothes. Another

way is to buy fair trade clothes. These clothes are either recycled or made in a way that protects the

environment. They also protect the people who make the clothes.

     Surprisingly, white cotton is one of the least environmentally-friendly crops of all. To protect the cotton,

the growers use chemicals that pollute water, make farm workers ill and kill wildlife. New materials, such as

hemp and bamboo, grow quickly and are more environmentally-friendly. These materials are very soft, and

look fantastic. The best materials are coloured using natural dyes, made from plants.

     Environmentally-friendly clothes are practical but until now they were often dull. Now fashion-designers

are working with these materials and the clothes are beautiful as well. So now we can buy fashionable clothes

that are also environmentally-friendly.
