49. According to (A) this morning’s news, about two-thirds of (B) the people in this village was made (C)homeless after the storm (D).
【C错】
语法考点:主谓一致。
英语中,谓语动词在人称和数上要和主语保持一致。
该句中谓语动词C(was made)的单复数形式与主语two-thirds of the people(三分之二的人群)不一致:主语是复数,而谓语动词是单数,所以错。
正确的表达应为:
Acoording to this morning's news, about two-thirds of the people in this village were made homeless after the storm.
该句的译文:
根据今早新闻的报导,风暴过后,该村庄三分之二的人变得无家可归。
推荐的其他语言点:
1. according to...:根据……;
2. two-thirds of:分数的表达与运用;
3. make someone/something + adj.表示“使……变得……”,其被动语态为someone/something be made +adj.。
