All of my teachers but the math teacher ______ he cheated in the exam.

A.doubt that

B.doubts that

C.doubt whether

D.doubts whether

答案

答案:C

题目分析:考查主谓一致和宾语从句。本句的谓语动词要和all of mu teachers保持一致;故使用复数形式;因为句子使用了动词doubt“怀疑”;表示是不确定的事情的怀疑,故使用连词whether引导宾语从句,句意:除了数学老师以外的所有老师都怀疑他在考试中作弊了。故C正确。

点评:主谓一致主要指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。对大多数人来说,往往会在掌握主语和随后的谓语动词之间的一致问题上遇到困难。一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则的支配:语法一致原则 (grammatical concord) 意义一致原则 (notional concord) 就近原则 (principle of proximity)。“主谓一致”考查内容涉及名词单数或复数作主语、不可数名词作主语、不定代词作主语、并列结构作主语、特殊名词作主语时与谓语动词数的一致等。
