5.Everyone except Tom and John____there when the meeting began.A.is B.was C.are D.were
到底是因为主语为everyone 还是因为except有就近原则呢?

B.was。主语为everyone 。这个跟as well as 的用法差不多。

B.was
主语是everyone everyone做单数使用 后跟动词的单数形式 exsept是介词,怎么会有就近原则?(应该没有吧)

因为主语是everyone。当主语后跟except引导的词组时,谓语的单复数形式根据主语判断

B.was
主语为everyone

答案是B..因为主语是everyone...
其实你可以这样看.
Everyone was there when the meeting began except Tom and John.

B
Everyone 主语
except Tom and John插入语
