《2026年全效学习中考学练测英语外研版》

___ Tom ___ Peter are interested in listening to stories.（Not only；but also/Both；and/Either；or/Neither；nor）
【解析】not only...but also...，either...or...和neither...nor...连接两个主语时，谓语动词与靠近它的主语在人称和数上保持一致，即遵循“就近原则”。而both...and...连接两个主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。本句谓语动词是are，为复数形式，且第一个空位于句首，故分别填入Both和and。
【归纳总结】在选择连词时，需要根据具体的语境、通过句意来确定应该用表示并列关系、选择关系、转折关系还是因果关系的连词，同时还要注意所连接的两个主语的数是单数还是复数。
