25. (2.0分) Schools in the US believe that cheating in examination ___ of the "honor system" proposed by Thomas Jefferson hundreds of years ago.
A. runs against the grain
B. run against the grain
C. have run against the grain
D. has ran against the grain
题目解答
答案
A. runs against the grain
解析
本题考查主谓一致以及固定短语和时态的用法。解题思路如下:
- 首先明确“cheating in examination”是动名词短语作主语,动名词短语作主语时,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。
- 接着分析“run against the grain”这个固定短语,它表示“违反……的原则;与……格格不入”。
- 然后看时态,这里描述的是一种普遍的观点和情况,用一般现在时即可。
- 最后对各选项进行分析:
- A选项“runs against the grain”,“runs”是“run”的第三人称单数形式,符合动名词短语作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数的规则,且时态为一般现在时,该选项正确。
- B选项“run against the grain”,“run”是动词原形,没有用第三人称单数形式,不符合主谓一致原则,所以该选项错误。
- C选项“have run against the grain”,“have”是复数形式,不符合动名词短语作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数的规则,所以该选项错误。
- D选项“has ran against the grain”,“has”后应接动词的过去分词构成现在完成时,而“ran”是“run”的过去式,不是过去分词,所以该选项错误。
