考查含有插入语的主谓一致

为了增加迷惑性，命题人常常在主语与谓语之间插入分隔成分。当主语后有as well as, no less than, with, along with, together with, rather than, but, except, including等短语作插入语或有后置定语修饰时，谓语动词的单复数应与前面的主语保持一致。例如：

Everybody but you knows what was happening. 除了你以外，人人都知道发生了什么事。

The teacher, together with some of his pupils, was cleaning the classroom. 那位老师和他的一些学生正在一起打扫教室。

【考例】 Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming,_______as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.（2017天津卷）

A. regard

B. is regarded

C. are regarded

D. regards

【答案】 B

【解析】 句意为：如今，与慢跑和游泳一样，骑自行车被看作是最好的全能运动形式之一。根据谓语动词与主语之间的被动关系，此处应使用被动语态。句子主语是“A along with B”结构，谓语应与前面的A保持一致，故选B项。

【考例】 The famous musician, as well as his students,_______to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Taipei Flower Expo.（2013福建卷）

A. were invited

B. was invited

C. have been invited

D. has been invited

【答案】 B

【解析】 考查主谓一致和动词时态。题干主语中心词为介词短语as well as之前的musician，故谓语动词使用单数形式，排除A、C项；再根据句中标志性词语at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Taipei Flower Expo可知应使用一般过去时态。故答案为B。

【考例】 Such poets as Shakespeare_______widely read, of whose works, however, some_______difficult to understand.（2010四川卷）

A. are; are

B. is; is

C. are; is

D. is; are

【答案】 A

【解析】 主句中的主语应为poets，as Shakespeare属插入成分，所以谓语动词用复数；其后的非限制性定语从句的主语应为some (of whose works)，谓语动词也应是复数。故选A。
