1. 考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)的變化規(guī)則
例1 —Would you like some ______for dinner?
—OK.
A. tomatos B. tomato
C. tomatoes D. tomato’s
【解析】 由于空格前有 some 修飾,所以所填的 tomato 要用復(fù)數(shù),而 tomato 的復(fù)數(shù)是 tomatoes,故選 C。
例2 Here are some ________. Do you like ________?
A. oranges; them B. orange; it
C. oranges; they D. oranges; their
【解析】 根據(jù)空格前的 some 以及句子謂語動(dòng)詞 are 可知,第一空應(yīng)填復(fù)數(shù)形式的 oranges,故可排除選項(xiàng)B;至于第二空,它是用于代替復(fù)數(shù)形式 oranges 的,所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式,且它在此用作動(dòng)詞 like 的賓語,所以要用賓格,即填 them。故本題答案為 A。
2. 考查名詞在復(fù)合詞中的單復(fù)數(shù)用法
例1 Last year, three hundred English teachers took part in the ________ English Training.
A. two-month B. two-months
C. two months D. two month
【解析】 根據(jù)英語語法,當(dāng)名詞與其他詞用連字符連接構(gòu)成復(fù)合詞時(shí),其中的名詞通常應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式。故本題答案選A。two-month English Training意思是“為期兩個(gè)月的英語培訓(xùn)”。
例2 No way! I don’t think ________ should be allowed to drive. I am worried about your safety.
A. fifteen years old
B. fifteen-year-olds
C. fifteen-year-old
D. fifteen-years-olds
【解析】 類似five-year-old, ten-year-old, fifteen-year-old這類表達(dá),其中的名詞 year 總是用單數(shù),不用復(fù)數(shù)。這類復(fù)合詞既可用作形容詞(置于名詞前作定語),表示“……歲的……”,如 a five-year-old boy(一個(gè)5歲的男孩);也可以直接用作名詞,表示“……歲的人”,如a five-year-old(一個(gè)5歲的孩子),此時(shí)它可以用于復(fù)數(shù)形式,但應(yīng)在整個(gè)詞的后面加-s,如five-year-olds,而不能在year后加-s,即不能是five-years-old,故本題答案是B。
3. 考查根據(jù)句子語境選用適當(dāng)?shù)拿~
例1 She says her favorite ________ is English.
A. color B. sport
C. subject D. work
【解析】 如果僅從語法上看,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都可以選。但根據(jù)句意,顯然只有 subject 最合適,因?yàn)?English 是一門“學(xué)科”(subject),而不是 colour, sport, work 等。
例2 Dave really likes driving. I think being a ________ is just right for him.
A. doctor B. teacher
C. farmer D. driver
【解析】 如果我們不看前面一句,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)放入空格處都正確。解答此題的關(guān)鍵是前句中的動(dòng)名詞driving,因?yàn)橄矚g開車,所以最適合當(dāng)司機(jī),故最佳答案選D。
4. 考查根據(jù)文化背景選用適當(dāng)?shù)拿~
例1 The New York Times is a popular daily ________.
A. dictionary B. magazine
C. newspaper D. guidebook
【解析】 句中的The New York Times意思是《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》,它是一份很受歡迎的報(bào)紙,所以選 newspaper。其余三項(xiàng)與《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》不相干。故答案應(yīng)選C。
例2 The Chinese saying “A tree can’t make a forest” tells us that ________ is very important in a football match.
A. ability B. decision
C. teamwork D. experience
【解析】 句中的 A tree can’t make a forest 意思是“獨(dú)木不成林”,這是一句諺語,類似的表達(dá)還有“單音不成曲”“一花不成春”等,均強(qiáng)調(diào)“集體力量的重要性”,也就是合作的重要性,選項(xiàng)中teamwork(合作)符合句意,故選C。
5. 考查名詞所有格的表達(dá)方式
例1 —Is the schoolbag under the desk yours?
—No, it’s my ________. He left it there just now.
A. brother B. brother’s
C. brothers’ D. brother’es
【解析】 根據(jù)問句內(nèi)容可知,這是在詢問課桌下的書包是不是對(duì)方的,故答句應(yīng)該用所有格,同時(shí)根據(jù)空格后的 he 可知,這里的 brother 應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式,即填 brother’s,故選B。
例2 The online shop sells _____clothing at a very good price.
A. child and man’s
B. children and men’s
C. children’s and men
D. children’s and men’s
【解析】 本題涉及A and B’s 與 A’s and B’s 這兩種所有格的區(qū)別。A and B’s 表示A和B共用的東西,A’s and B’s 表示A和B分別使用的東西。根據(jù)本句語境,孩子和大人不可能共穿同樣的衣服,所以應(yīng)該分別用所有格,即選D。
6. 考查不可數(shù)名詞的數(shù)量表達(dá)方式
例1 Yesterday for dinner I had a piece of beef, vegetables and ________.
A. some rice B. a few rice
C. a little rices D. a rice
【解析】 由于 rice 是不可數(shù)名詞,所以不能用復(fù)數(shù)形式,故可排除C;也不能連用不定冠詞,故可排除D;同時(shí)也不能用 a few 修飾,故可排除B,即答案為A。
例2 There are ________ on the table. Would you like to drink some?
A. two milk
B. two bottles of milk
C. two bottle of milk
D. two bottles of milks
【解析】 milk意為“牛奶”,是物質(zhì)名詞,不可數(shù),所以其后不能加詞尾-s。要表示它的數(shù)量,我們可用單位詞bottle來表示,并根據(jù)句意來確定單位詞是否用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故本題答案為B。
