A. am B. is C. are D. was
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。not only... but also... 连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数遵循就近原则,因此,本题谓语动词的单复数取决于 Li Lei and Han Meimei,故C项正确。

3.Thirty percent of the cattle ________ thin, but the rest ________ fat.
A. are; are B. is; is
C. is; are D. are; is
[解析]本题考查主谓一致。分数、百分数修饰名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数往往取决于它所修饰的名词,故第一空的单复数取决于可数名词 cattle,用复数;the rest 既可以指代可数名词,又可以指代不可数名词,作主语时谓语动词的单复数亦取决于所修饰的名词,由语境可知,此处 the rest 指代可数名词 cattle,谓语动词也用复数,故A项正确。
[答案]A
