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.

答案與詳解
B
正確答案
空格需填入「三十年前只有五分之一(是本地學生)」的動詞,主詞 a fifth 指複數名詞 pupils,用 were。

為什麼答案是 B

短文前句為 'four-fifths of the pupils they teach around the world are locals',此句省略 locals,補全為 'a fifth were (locals)'。主詞核心為 pupils(複數),時態呼應 Thirty years ago 用過去式,were 完全正確。

考點:分數主詞一致性(fraction + of + 複數名詞 → 複數動詞)考點:分數主詞一致性 + 省略結構 + 過去式對應考點:助動詞替代(do/did 只代替一般動詞,不代替 be 動詞)考點:動詞時態與語境一致性
