5. 【考查点】“分数或百分数+of+名词”构成的词组作主语时，其谓语动词要以of后面的名词而定。名词是复数，谓语动词用复数：名词是单数，谓语动词用单数。 如：
It is said that 35 per cent of the doctors are women. Three –fourths of the surface of the earth is sea.
6. 【考查点】half, the rest等表示不定数量的名词作主语时，如果所指为复数意义，动词用复数；如果所指为单数意义，动词用单数。 如：
I have read a large part of the book, the rest is more difficult. Only ten students attended the class because all the rest were off sick.
7. 【考查点】由what 引导地主于从句作主语时，通常谓语动词用单数形式。但如果所指内容为复数意义时，谓语动词用复数形式。 如：
What she said is correct.
What she left me are a few old books.
8. 【考查点】凡是以“定冠词+形容词（或分词）”作主语，往往根据意义一致的原则决定谓语动词的单复数形式。如果这种主语指的是一类人，谓语动词用复数；如果指的是一个人或抽象概念，谓语动词用单数形式。 如：
The sick have been cured and the lost have been found. The dead is a famous person.
知识点2：邻近一致(就近一致)的原则
1. 【考查点】由连词or, either??or, neither??nor, not only?but also,等连接的并列主语，如果一个是单数，一个是复数，则谓语动词按就近一致原则，与最靠近它的主语一致。 如：
Either you or I am right.
Neither the children nor the teacher knows anything about it.
