Petroleum(石油), along with fuel gas, ________ in price. Thus a larger amount of money __________ spent on transportation.

A.has risen, is

B.have risen, are

C.has risen, are

D.have risen, is

答案

答案:A

题目分析:当主语中含有as well as,in addition to,(along)with,together with,except,besides,including等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单、复数依据他们前面的主语而定。

如:Jack as well as his parents has been to China before.

故用单数,所以排除BD,

a larger amount of money作主语,谓语动词用单数,故排除BC。A along with B作主语时,谓语动词的单复数与A的单复数一致,故用单数,所以排除BD,所以应选A。

点评:本题难度适中。主谓一致是语法学习中的一个重点, 也是一大难点。处理主谓一致需遵循三条原则, 即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近原则。然而, 在具体使用时, 考生常感困惑不解。

即学即练:These new facts, together withthe other evidence, _____(prove) the prisoner's innocence.

解析:prove.句意:这些新的事实连同其他证据已证明在押者无罪。
