主谓一致专题演练一 1．one third of the country ________ covered with trees and the majority of the citizens ________ black people. a．is; is b．are; are c．is; are d．are; is [解析]第一空的主语 the country 为单数，故用 is；第二空 the majority of the citizens 与复数动词连用。 [答案]c 2．it is reported that many a new house ________ at present in the disaster area. a. are being built b. were being built c. was being built d. is being built [解析]考查主谓一致和时态。“many a＋单数名词”作主语，谓语要用单数形式；由时间状语 at present 可知，要用现在进行时态；house 和 build 之间是被动关系，所以用现在进行时态的被动语态。句意：据报道，目前受灾地区正在建造许多新房子。 [答案]d
