13. You as well _____ right.
A. I are B. I am C. as I am D. as I are
首先要指出的是，這道題出得有問題，或者說至少是出得不好。如Michael Swan編著的《牛津英語用法指南》指出：
用as well as連接兩個主語時雖然可以置于句首，但更常見的說法是把as well as…放在主句后面；如果主語都是代詞，那就幾乎總要這么說。如：
Alice was shocked by the news as well as Paula. 艾麗斯和波拉一樣，聽到這消息大吃一驚。
He’s ill as well as me. 他和我一樣，也病了。 (不能說：He, as well as I / me, is ill.)
不過，我也在《薄冰高級英語語法》上見到過這樣一個句子：
I as well as they am ready to help you. 不僅他們愿意幫助你，我也愿意幫助你。
所以我們的結論是：此句最好改為 You are right as well as me.
如果一定要使用這種形式，答案應該是D（即謂語跟You保持一致）。
15. -- Shall I wait here for three hours?
--Yes. Three hours _____ to wait for such a doctor.
A. are not very long for you B. is not long enough for you
C. was not long enough for you D. will be too long for you
估計命題者設定的答案是B。但從意義上看，我們認為 D 更適當一些。
從句意來看，說話者是把 three hours 視為一個整體來看的，所以謂語動詞應該用單數(shù)，四個選項中只有 B 和 C 符合，但從所用時態(tài)來看，C 用的是一般過去時，顯然不妥，可排除；而 B 雖然從主謂一致角度以及所用時態(tài)均符合，但它的意思與對話語境并不很吻合，因為 Three hours is not long enough for you to wait for such a doctor 的意思是“對于那樣一位醫(yī)生，你等三小時不算足夠久”（背景是：這是位很厲害的醫(yī)生），雖然也勉強說得過去，但總覺得有點“怪”——因為“三小時不算足夠久”，那到底多久才算足夠久呢？如果改為 is not too long for you 意思就順暢得多。但選D意思很順暢，其意為：對于那樣一位醫(yī)生，你要等三小時太久了（背景是：這不是位什么好醫(yī)生）。
由于沒有特定上下文，我覺得 B 和 D 均可選，但從意思上看 D 更好些（盡管命題者可能設定的答案是 B，因為此題是考查主謂一致，而D與主謂一致無關）。
19. Three fourths of the bread _____ by Bob, and the rest of the bread _____ left on the table.
A. was eaten / were B. were eaten / was C. were eaten / were D. was eaten / was
答案為D。當用作主語的不可數(shù)名詞修飾到“幾分之幾”修飾時，謂語動詞仍用單數(shù)；the rest of 后接不可數(shù)名詞時，謂語動詞也用單數(shù)。
20. This pair of shoes _____.
A. is her B. is hers C. are hers D. are her
答案為B。a pair of shoes 之類的結構作主語時，謂語動詞與pair保持一致。
21.There ______ no life on the moon.
A. is said to have B. are said to have C. is said to be D. are said to be
答案為C。首先要注意此題是考查 there be 句式，所以首先要排除 A 和B（is said to 和 are said to 中的 is 和 are 是構成被動語態(tài)的助動詞，與there be 中的 be 無關）。又因為 no life 是單數(shù)，故選 C，不選 D。句意為：據(jù)說月球上沒有生命。
