说到主谓一致，在SC里很多考生似乎不会太关注这个考点。相比基本的句子结构、修饰、平行或者比较等，主谓一致这个考点确实很小。

但是根据申友网后台数据统计，涉及到主谓一致考点题的正确率竟然比一些比较大的考点的正确率还低。究其所以，就是因为大家看句子比较容易忽略这个点。那我们今天就来说一下主谓一致这个考点以及相关例题的解析。

大家想到主谓一致的时候会想到什么？是动词单复数和主语一致吗？那这就涉及到一个问题，你能快速找到主语吗？

In her later poems, Phyllis Wheatley's blending of solar imagery, Judeo-Christian thought and figures, and the images she borrowed from ancient classicism suggesting her range and depth of influences, not the least of which is her African heritage.

上面这个句子请在10s内找出主语，通过之前的上课实践，老师发现，有一半以上的同学都找错了主语，还好这道题没有考主谓一致，考的是句法结构。但是这已经反映出了一些问题了，大家在看长句子的时候能马上找出主干定位主语吗？你是否认为Judeo-Christian thought and figures是主语？又或者solar imagery, Judeo-Christian thought and figures, and the images是主语？其实都不是。真正的主语是blending，这个融合suggest  sth。

主语并不是仅存在于主干里面。像宾语从句或者定语从句以及同位语从句等从句里面也会有主语。比如I have a lot of pens, which vary in color. which 修饰pens，vary和pens主谓一致。当which变成each of which的时候我们就要注意了，定语从句的主语现在变成单数了，那么相应地，定语从句的谓语动词也得是单数。

下面我们来看几个例题：

1.The list of animals that exhibits a preference of either using the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded to include the lower vertebrates.

A. exhibits a preference of either using the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded to include

B. exhibits the preference to use either the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded and includes

C. exhibit a preference in either using the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded to include

D. exhibit a preference for using either the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded to include

E. exhibit the preference as to either using the right or the left hand (i.e., claw, paw, or foot) has been expanded and includes

做题的步骤先抓主干看看逻辑语义及语法是否有误，the list of animals has been expanded 动物的名单已经扩展了。list of animals that exhibits xx…exhibit-展示是定语从句的谓语动词，那么that修饰谁呢？一般that都是就近修饰，这里也是，修饰animals 所以exhibits的主语是 animals，主谓不一致。语义是展现出对使用左右爪有偏好的动物。剩下CDE，然后按照either…or…排除CE。

2. For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A. devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B. devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere decimated

C. devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

D. devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E. the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

首先我们要注意的一点是，当一个词比如change，有动词和名词含义的时候我们用名词先用这个词本身，没有动名词同体的时候再用名词形式比如develop-development，如果这两者都没有一个动词要变成名词形式我们会选择加ing变成动名词形式，比如blend-blending。这里明显CD选项就是用的这种形式，包括后面的which部分也是修饰错误的。

我们来看主干部分的逻辑语义在说什么。哥伦布赋予毁坏和奴役以进步的名义，摧毁了西半球的一些土著民族。所以一般大家去看原句的时候会注意到that has …那这个时候它的主语就是progress吗？是进步摧毁了一些当地民族吗？

明显不是。正确答案E选项的that have通过主谓一致避免了修饰progress 的尴尬，跳过progress去修饰前面的devastation and enslavement。毁坏和奴役摧毁了西半球的一些土著民族。

所以总的来说主谓一致还是很灵活的，当然大家在做题时千万要注意一下主谓一致的问题。
