Since 1970s, there has been a boom in such "international schools," which teach in English in non-Anglophone countries, mostly offering British A-levels, American APs and SATs, or the International Baccalaureate. But nowadays international schools increasingly __(11)__ their name. Though their clientele varies from place to place, four-fifths of the pupils they teach around the world are locals. Thirty years ago, just a fifth __(12)__ . The main reason is increased __(13)__ for schooling mostly or entirely in English, both in rich countries and even more from rich parents in developing countries who want their children to be able to go to university in Britain or North America. This new elite can outspend even very highly paid foreign managers—and multinationals trying to cut costs are ever __(14)__ willing to pay school fees. Locals are more appealing clients, too: their children tend to stay for their entire schooling, unlike "expat brats," who are always moving on, leaving seats to be filled. And a parent-teacher __(15)__ packed with the local elite is more helpful than one full of foreigners.

Though their clientele varies from place to place, four-fifths of the pupils they teach around the worl d are locals. Thirty years ago, just a fifth ____ .

答案與詳解
B
正確答案
空格承接前句主詞「a fifth (of the pupils)」,指複數人群,動詞用複數 were,且為省略重複部分的替代用法。

為什麼答案是 B

短文前句為「four-fifths of the pupils…are locals」,此處以 a fifth 省略重複的 of the pupils were locals,用 were 代替 were locals,時態為過去式(Thirty years ago),且 a fifth of the pupils 需搭配複數動詞,故選 were。

考點:主謂一致(分數/比例 + of + 複數名詞 → 複數動詞)考點:替代動詞(pro-verb)/ 主謂一致(分數結構)考點:替代動詞(do-substitution)不適用於 be 動詞考點:動詞時態(過去式 vs. 原形)
