一、名词的分类 名词分为专有名词和普通名词两大类。普通名词又可进一步分为:类名词、集体名词、物质名词和抽象名词。名词按照可数与否又可分为可数名词和不可数名词。下面我们主要讲解专有名词、可数名词、不可数名词和集体名词的用法。 1. 专有名词 包括国家、地区、山脉、江河、海洋等名词,如:China, the Changjiang River。 2. 不可数名词 也叫作物质或抽象名词,如:milk, soap, steel。 3. 可数名词 能够表达具体事物的名词,如:foot, tooth, house。 注意: (1) 有些名词既可作可数名词,又可作不可数名词,但词义不同。 paper 报纸/纸;experience经历/经验;man 人/人类; room房间/空间 (2) 有些名词的单复数形式相同。 aircraft/ deer/ sheep/ works(作品,工厂)/ Chinese/ Swiss (3) 有些名词的单、复数意义不同。 look看/ looks表情;custom风俗/ customs关税;damage损失/ damages赔偿费;good好处/ goods(货物) 4. 集体名词 (1)集体名词不能运用具体的数字修饰。下面的集体名词,不能用a, one, two等修饰,只能在其前加the表示“全体……”。 the police警察(指全体警察)the English英国人(指全体英国人) the French 法国人(指全体法国人)the Swiss瑞士人(指全体瑞士人) (2)有些集体名词在改变表达方式后可以用具体数字修饰。 a policeman一位警察 two policewomen两位女警察 two English girls两个英国女孩 two French boys 两个法国男孩 二、名词的复数 1. 同时具有两种复数形式 有的名词当具有不同的含义时,其相应的复数形式也不相同。 penny有两种复数形式,当作“便士”价值解时,复数为pence; 当作“便士”的个数解时复数为pennies。 works表示“工厂”时,单复数同形,但表示“著作”时单数为work,复数为works。 fish在作“鱼”的条数时,其复数形式为fish,如two fish两条鱼;作“鱼”的种类时复数为fishes,如two different fishes 两类不同的鱼。 2. 只有复数形式,没有单数形式 有些词只有复数形式,不能被具体数字修饰。 trousers裤子 clothes衣服 shorts短裤goods商品glasses眼镜 这类名词不能用具体的数字进行修饰,不能说two trousers, 但可说many trousers, two pairs of trousers等。 3. 有些集体名词,只有单数形式,作主语时,谓语动词同样用单数。 fruit水果 jewellery 珠宝 furniture 家具 4.“某国人”单复数的表达法: a Chinese—two Chinese a Japanese—two Japanese an Australian—two Australians a Frenchman—two Frenchmen 既可说I’m Chinese. 也可说I’m a Chinese. 可说I’m English. 或I’m an English boy. 但不可说I’m an English. 5. 合成名词的复数 (1)以可数名词结尾的复合名词,直接在词尾加复数。 film-goers tooth-brushes boy-friends (2)以可数名词+介词短语/副词构成的复合名词,在名词部分变复数形式。 editors-in-chief mothers-in-law passers-by (3)由man或woman构成的合成词,里面所包含的名词皆变为复数。 women doctors men drivers men servants (4)若合成词中无名词,则在最后一个词尾加复数。 go-betweens grown-ups break-downs 三、名词所有格的四种情况 1. 表示“地理、国家、城市、天文、时间、度量、价值”等无生命的名词,可用’s形式表示所属关系。 China’s capital/ the moon’s orbit/ today’s newspaper/ five minutes’ walk 2. 一些有生命的名词若名词较长或有较多或较长的定语时,须使用of所有格。 the story of the bravery of William Tell and his son 3. 在表示所属物的名词前有冠词、数词、不定代词(如a / some / a few/any/no/the等)时,须用双重所有格(即“of词组+所有格”的形式)。 a friend of my father’s that new dress of Susan’s 4. 名词所有格之后若是house/church/shop / home / hospital/office等建筑物之类的名词时,该名词常省略。 the dentist’s (office) at Uncle Wang’s (house) the St. Peter’s (church) 四、名词作定语与名词所有格作定语的区别 名词作定语在逻辑上可表示中心词的用途(职能)、材料、来源(地点)、时间等;名词所有格作定语常用来表示所属关系。试比较: a girl friend 一位女朋友(表示“朋友”的性别) a girl’s friend一位女孩的朋友 (表示所属关系) 直击高考 1.

D该句意思是:“直到加入了我们俱乐部,这些足球队员才受到了严格的训练。”training意为“训练”。 2. C这是考查考生对few这个既是形容词又是名词的词的掌握。the few表示少数人。如答案选A,该句应是Few of her friends...。B项表示否定与all矛盾。 3. A gas, wind都属于energy。B、C、D不符题意。 4. C姓氏复数形式与定冠词连用表“一家人”或“夫妇俩”。 5. D Actions speak louder than words. 意为“行动胜于空谈”。action意为“行为,作为, 举动”;movement 意为“运动,活动,动作”,用作复数时常表示“(政治、思想领域)运动”;performance意为“演奏,演出,表演”;operation意为“业务,活动”。 6. A have one’s own way of doing sth.是惯用法,意为:自己做某事的方法或方式。 7. A come into effect“实施;实行”。 8. B本题考查名词间的词语辨析。idea意思是“观点;想法”,多指人所想出的主意;sense意思是“认识;意识”,多指观念。本句的意思是“这个经理很有商业意识,因此公司发展良好。”故答案为B。thought意思是“思想;认识”,thinking意思是“想;思考”,这两个名词侧重于“考虑”的概念,因此不合题意。 专项训练 1. Those are my ____ books.

A Mary与mother之间为所属关系;题意为“玛丽母亲的一位朋友”,故用双重所有格。 3. A congratulation习惯上用复数形式,类似用法的名词还有wishes/ thanks/ regards(问候)等。 4. C 以-f或-fe结尾的名词的复数形式,词尾直接加-s的有:roof/ chief/ gulf/ serf/ wolf/ belief/ proof/ safe等;词尾变f或fe为v,再加es的有:leaf/ life/ knife/ shelf/ half/ loaf/ wife等;词尾可有两种形式的有:handkerchief/scarf等。 5. A the rest作主语时其谓语动词的单、复数取决于rest所指代的词。the rest在此指代内容是不可数的part,故谓语动词用单数形式。 6. C failure, success等抽象名词原属不可数名词,但其在一定情况下,特别是有限制性定语时,此类抽象名词便具体化,用以表达“某一人或事”,其前需要加上定冠词a(n)。本题由后半句可知这次音乐会是 “a failure” 。 7. D housework为不可数名词,故排除B、C两项;由信息词their排除A项。 8. C call at意为“拜访”,后须接表地点的名词;call on“拜访”,后接表人的名词。 9. A word作“消息”解时,为不可数名词,无复数形式,其前也不带冠词;information是不可数名词,也无复数形式;message为可数名词,不能用much修饰。 10. B 由信息词a可知,打碎的是一只酒杯,而A项搭配有误,D项不合逻辑(打碎一杯酒),C项不够简练,故选B。 11. A a little不可修饰minutes,故排除C、D;时间、距离等短语多用所有格作名词的定语。 12. B由信息词is可知,所指的名词为单数,而mother又是两者共有的,故只需在Mary后加 “’s”。 13. D根据语义C项不合逻辑;含有else修饰的名词或代词变所有格时,应在else后面加’s。又如:who else’s, someone else’s等。 14. C make preparations for“为……作准备”,应注意preparation用复数形式;stomach的复数为stomachs, 故B项也不对;shake hands with“与……握手”, hand也须用复数形式,类似的如make friends with“交友”。 15. B名词作定语时,常用单数形式;但man及woman作定语,若被修饰词为复数,它们也用复数形式;sales girls虽表达正确,但不合题意。 16. C hair泛指“头发”时,为不可数名词;若指具体几根头发,为可数名词。 17. A (it is)no wonder(that)…意为“难怪……”;“……不足为奇”。 18. A the country乡下;乡间。据句意与city life相对照。 19. B experience作“经验”解时为不可数名词;但作“经历、旅历”解时为可数名词。本题表达后一意思,故排除A;又因冠词或some等词不可与物主代词同时并用修饰名词,C、D也应排除。 20. B 本题意为“他认为这幅画几乎没有什么价值(value), 因此我仅花了10英镑就买下了。” |
