It is reported that many a new house at present in the disaster area.( )
A. are being built
B. were being built
C. was being built
D. is being built
题目解答
答案
D. is being built
解析
本题考查主谓一致和动词时态的正确使用。关键点在于:
- "many a"的用法:虽然形式上类似复数,但其后接的单数可数名词仍需用单数动词形式;
- 时间状语"at present":提示使用现在进行时,强调当前正在进行的动作。
关键分析步骤
-
确定主语和谓语关系
句子主干为"many a new house at present",其中"many a house"是单数结构("a house"为单数,"many"强调"每一个")。 -
选择正确时态
"at present"表示"目前",需用现在进行时(is/am/are +现在分词),表示当前正在发生的动作。 -
匹配主谓数
主语为单数"house",因此be动词应为is,排除复数形式A;B、C为过去时,与时间状语矛盾,排除。
