考点四：there be 句型的主谓一致：
There be 结构中的be动词要和后面所跟名词保持一致,遵循就近原则。如：
1.There ___ any rice in the
bowl.
A. are B. is C. isn’t D. aren’t
2.There ___ many apples on the tree last year.
A. have been B. were C. are D. is
考点五：there be 句型用的其他动词：
there be 句型中有时不用动词be ，而用come ,
live ,stand , lie, seem to be , happen to be ,等。如： There ____ a knife and a fork on the table. (2007黄冈)
A. seems to be B. seem to be C. is seeming to be D. are
剖析：根据就近原则，首先排除B、D，而 there be 句型中有时不用动词be ，而用come , live ,stand , lie, seem to be等，所以答案应从A、C中选。感官动词一般不用进行时，故C也不正确。
