Ⅰ.单句语法填空(不多于3个单词)
1．What a pity! All his property, the books, the pictures and the house, ________ (be) consumed by the big fire.
答案与解析 was 本句的主语是all his property, property表示财产，是不可数名词，因此谓语动词用单数形式。事情发生在说话之前，故用一般过去时。
2．The basketball coach, as well as his team, ________ (be) interviewed shortly after the match for their outstanding performance.
答案与解析 was 句意：因有出色的表现，篮球赛一结束，这个篮球教练以及他的队员就被采访了。主语后接由with, except, as well as, no less than, rather than, besides, together with, like, including, in addition to等构成的短语时，谓语与主语保持一致；事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。
3．The boss, rather than his secretaries, ________ (be) going to investigate the trade problems.
答案与解析 is “单数名词＋rather than ...”结构作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
