兒童自身，部分原因在于孩子周圍人們的行為。問題句說"兒童母語學(xué)得好的原

4

因只是因為他們的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境。〃此處solely的表述是錯誤的。

第9題【單選題】

Nobodybutyouwhathesaid.

A、agreeswith

B、agreesout

C、agreewith

D、agreeto

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】主語為nobody時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，如果主語被but,aswellas,with

等短語修飾，謂語仍與主語的數(shù)保持一致°該題易誤選C、D,選D的原因在于

詞組記憶不清，用介詞to時之后應(yīng)加具體項目。而選擇C就在于誤把you作為

主語對待了。而實際上nobody才是主語。
