知识点1：“one of +复数名词”的用法：
1）当“one of +复数名词”在句子中充当主语时，实际主语是one，紧跟其后的谓语动词一定用单数形式。
One of my students is a lawyer.我的一个学生是律师。
2）当“one of +复数名词”后加定语从句时，因为定语从句的关系代词所修饰的先行词不是one，而是of后面的复数名词，所以从句的谓语动词一定用复数形式。
Our organization is just one of many charities that are providing famine relief in the region.
我们的组织仅仅是为这个饥荒地区提供救济的慈善组织之一。
3）要注意，当one前有the，thevery，the only等修饰限制时，从句中的谓语动词一定要用单数。

她是这些学生中唯一一个曾学过西班牙语的人。
