C. 若主语由“a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of + 名词”构成，无论名词的类别如何，谓语动词通常用单数。例如：c) 中的 S1: A substantial portion of the reports is missing. S2: A series of accidents has been reported. S3: A pile of logs was set beside the hearth. D. 若主语由“限定词 + kind/ type/ sort of + 名词” 构成，其后的谓语动词形式按以下规则： a) 在 a kind/ sort/ type of, this kind/ sort/ type of 之后跟单数或不可数 名词，谓语动词用单数。例如： --There is a kind of rose, which fills the air with fragrance when May comes. --This kind of man annoys me. [注] 在这样的结构中，通常不用复数名词，如 *this kind of roses, *that type of cars。若要用复数名词，就得说： --Roses of this kind are very sweet. --Cars of that type are old-fashioned. 3 E. 若主语由 “many a + 名词” 或“more than one + 名词” 构成， 其意义虽属复数，但其后的谓语动词要遵循“语法一致”的原则，用单 数。例如： S1: Many a man has done his duty. S2: More than one game was lost. 7 F. 若主语由 “a average of 或 a majority of + 复数名词”构成，表示多数 个体概念时，其后的谓语动词用复数；不表示多数个体概念时， 则 用单数。例如： S1: An average of 25 persons apply each month.
