正确答案:D
解析:考核主谓一致。B和D选项中的主语ten dollars和five miles均为整体的概念,故谓语动词都需要用单数,所以D选项错误,A选项中主语由”one out of+复数名词”构成,在正式文体中,动词用单数,在非正式文体中,动词也可按“就近原则”用复数,C项中either…or…连接的并列结构做主语,动词按照“就近原则”处理。

A.the object
B.an adverbial
C.a complement

A.The front door remained locked.
B.The boy looked disappointed.
C.Nancy appeared worried.
D.He seemed to have no money left.
正确答案:D
解析:2014年第53题。补语分为主语补语(subject complement)和宾语补语(objectcomplement)。主语补语通常与连系动词连用,位于连系动词之后,表示主语具有某种身份、特征、性状;或表示继续或保持某种状态,故A、B、C项斜体均属于主语补语。宾语补语描述宾语的性状,通常出现在SVOC结构中;宾语+补语合在一起是复杂宾语(complex object),其两个组成部分在意义上是一种“主谓”关系。故D项正确。

A.Why don’t you do it for the sake of your friends’?
B.I wish I could write as well as you.
C.For all his efforts, he didn’t get an A.

解析:2010年第51题。A选项中的for the sake of...(为了)表示目的状语;B选项中的as…as…(和……一样)为方式状语;C选项中的for all…(尽管)表示让步状语;D选项中的from…可以表示原因状语,译为“因为过度看书,她的眼睛布满了血丝。”
