主谓语一致是中学英语语法的重要内容，也是高考的重要考点，其热点考查方式如下：
　　命题方式一：在主语后添加附加成分，如介词短语等构成的状语、定语、定语从句、同位语从句等，增加对主语中心语的判断难度。
　　此种考查方式是高考对主谓一致考查的最大热点，近年来大部分有关此语法点的高考题都有此特征。
　　例1： The father as well as his three children_____ skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter. （2006辽宁）
　　A. is goingB. go
　　C. goesD. are going
　　解析：答案为C。从语法讲解的角度来看，主语The father是单数概念，尽管后面跟有as well as his three children，谓语动词仍要用单数形式。every Sunday afternoon in winter暗示该空表示经常性、习惯性动作，因此应用一般现在时。从命题方式的角度看，此题学生易弄混淆主语为his three children而出错，在主语后添加his three children容易误导学生对主语的判断。主语后接“with ...”等构成的修饰成分时, 谓语仍须与这类短语前的“主语”一致。可构成这类短语的常用词有with， along with， together with， as well as， but， besides， except， added to， including， like， no less than， rather than， more than等。
　　例2： The country life he was used to_____greatly since 1992. （2005山东）
　　A. changeB. has changed
　　C. changingD. have changed
　　解析：答案为B。主语The country是单数概念，谓语要用单数形式。此题在主语后添加了一个定语从句，就容易使学生误认为谓语动词为was used to，从而导致选C项，其实去掉定语从句he was used to，句子就很简单，也易得出答案。
　　例3： As you can see, the number of cars on our roads_____ rising these days. (2006全国卷Ⅱ)
　　A. was keepingB. keep
　　C. keepsD. were keeping
　　解析：答案为C。 the number of cars表示“小汽车的数目”，做主语时动词用单数形式，these days暗示该空表示现阶段的动作，因此应填keeps。对此题许多学生不清楚主语的中心语为the number而非cars，从而误选了答案。
　　解题方法总结：解答此类题目时，一定要先去掉这些附加成份，留下主语的主体。因为附加成分不是真正的主语，而是起着限定、说明、补充的作用，然后依据主语确定谓语的单复数形式。（注意上面例题及下面高考大练兵题目中的黑体部分的内容皆为真正的主语）

　　命题方式二：以整体与部分关系的形式呈现主语，增加主谓一致关联主体的判断难度。
　　例4： Most of what has been said about the Smiths_____ also true of the Johnsons. (2006 安徽)
　　A. areB. is
　　C. beingD. to be
　　解析：答案是B。句意：对于史密斯夫妇的评价的大多数也适用于Johnsons夫妇。what引导名词性从句做主语时，往往看作是一个整体, 谓语动词用单数形式。如：What you said is right. 句中部分为most，整体为what引导的一个名词性从句，此时依据语法规则，主谓一致应与从句保持一致。用half of, most of, none of, heaps of, lots of, plenty of 等引起主语时，谓语动词通常与of后面的名词 / 代词保持一致。
例5： The company had about 20 notebook computers but only one-third_____ used regularly. Now we have 60 working all day long.（2006浙江）
　　A. isB. are
　　C. wasD. were
　　解析：答案是D。one-third指one-third of the notebook computers，为复数概念，谓语也应用复数形式。其中of表示整体与部分的关系，此时主谓一致应与整体computers保持一致。此题以省略的形式出现，易让学生误解并选错答案。
　　解题方法总结：在解答此类题时应找到句子主语哪一部分为整体，哪一部分为部分，而不能不加分析地被部分牵着鼻子走，将主谓一致与部分内容保持一致从而错选答案。（注意体会例题及高考大练兵题目中的黑体部分皆为句子整体与部分关系中的整体，主谓一致应与整体保持一致）
