答案点拨

1. 答案选C。There be结构的主语在be动词之后，即此句中的some apples是句子的主语，故谓语动词用复数，排除选项A和B。再由句首的look可知句子的时态为一般现在时。故答案选C。

2. 答案选C。由于表示“有”的there的there be句型不能说成there have，所以可排除B和D；再根据句中的this weekend（这个周末）和I’d love to（我很愿意参加）可知，句子要用将来时态，故选C。

3. 答案选B。由于表示“有”的there的there be句型不能说成there have，所以可排除A；而rain作为不可数名词，总是表示单数意义，所以不能选C。注意：英语虽然不能说There has very little rain，但可以说There has been very little rain，因为后者的has been实际上是动词be的完成式，也就是说there has been的本质仍是there be句型，只不过其中的be用了完成式。由于rain不可数，所以不能选D，因为其中的have表示复数意义。

4. 答案选B。句子真正的主语是Tom，故其后的谓语动词应与Tom保持一致，而与其后的介词短语with other boys 无关，因此谓语动词用单数；后面一空是由and连接两个并列谓语，谓语形式应保持一致，也用单数，所以选B。

5. 答案选A。因问句是询问学生的数量，故答句中用the number of来表示“……的数量”。当the number of the students作主语时，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故答案选A。

6. 答案选B。当neither...nor...连接两主语时，谓语动词的人称和数应和与其靠近的那个主语保持一致。因该句的主语the teacher靠近谓语，故答案选B。

7. 答案选A。the number of 意为“……的数量”，用作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。

8. 答案选D。本句的主语是both… and…结构，这种结构作句子主语时，谓语动词要用复数形式；又因本句是一般过去时的被动语态，故正确答案是D。

9. 答案选C。“the number of + 复数名词”作主语，表示“……的数量”，谓语动词要用单数形式。但应注意：a number of意思是“许多”、“一些”，修饰可数名词复数，作主语时，谓语动词要用复数形式。如：A number of students like the English book.
