问题
选择题
______ is to be awarded the highest award at this evening’s meeting.
A.Both the director and the writer
B.Both of the director and the writer
C.The director and the writer
D.The director and writer
答案
答案:D
题目分析:句意:在今天晚会上,这个导演兼作家受到了最高了嘉奖。本句中的谓语动词为is,为单数形式,故表示一个人,The director and writer表示导演兼作家,而The director and the writer表示导演和作家,是两个人,故选D
点评:高考涉及到的主谓一致的情况较多,以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。与本题类似的是a director and the writer也表示导演兼作家,都指同一个人是,只用一个冠词即可。平时的学习中遇到了这样的语言点首先要将其理解,把握好考试的难度,并进行记忆。
