1.With more forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth ______ each year.
A.is washing away B.is being washed away
C.are washing away D.are being washed away
解析:
考查语态及主谓一致。“quantities of+名词”作主语的时候谓语动词用复数形式,首先排除A和B答案。wash away和good earth之间是动宾关系,即由于森林的破坏好的土壤正在“被冲走”,故要用被动语态。
答案:D
2.Professor Smith, along with his assistants,______ on the project day and night to meet the deadline.
A.work B.working
C.is working D.are working
解析:考查主谓一致。句子的主语是Professor Smith,故谓语用单数形式。
答案: C
