[例1] e-mail, as well as telephones, _____ an important part in daily communication.

a. is playing           b. have played        c. are playing         d. play

分析：带有as well as 短语的名词做主语时，谓语动词与这个名词的人称和数一致，不受as well as 短语内容的影响。e-mail是单数形式，故选择a。

[例2] either john or his friends _____ to blame for the bad results.

a. are                           b. is                      c. was                         d. has been

分析：either…or..连接两个名词做主语时，其谓语动词与离它最近的名词的数和人称一致，本题中his friends 决定了谓语动词的形式，故选择a。

[例3] the conductor and composer _____ by a crowd of people.

a. are greeted        b. is greeted           c. greets        d. have been greeted

—but the colour _____ me.

a. fit; don’t suit     b. fits; doesn’t suit    c. fits; don’t suit      d. fit; doesn’t suit

a. were; were               b. was; were         c. were; was                d. was; was

[例6] he is the only one of the students who _____ a winner of scholarship for three years.

a. is        b. are           c. have been          d. has been

分析：当定语从句先行词是“one of +复数形式”时， 其后的从句谓语动词用复数形式。而当one之前有the only时， 定语从句则强调the only one，谓语动词用单数。另外，题目中的时间状语for three years表明从句的时态为现在完成时，故选择d。

[例7] three fifths of the police _____ in the school near the town.

a. has trained         b. have trained    c. has been trained    d. have been trained

分析：分数+名词做主语时，谓语动词的形式由分数所指的名词的形式（可数名词或不可数名词）决定，police 是集合名词为复数形式，根据句子意思，police 与train 为被动关系，应用被动语态，故选择d。

短文改错片段：

1. now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library.

分析：本句中主语now my picture and the prize是复数形式，谓语动词is应改为are.

2. sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once.

分析：本句第一行，根据全篇内容的语境，应当是一般现在时，所以谓语动词talked改为talk.第二行：根据句意：我们下课后立刻又成了陌生人。stranger应当与主语we一致，改为复数形式，strangers.

3. but not all information are good to society.

分析：主语information是不可数名词，are应改为is
