名詞

考點提示：

1. 近年川卷單項填空時有設(shè)題，主要考查使用的語境。

2. 完形填空中主要考查名詞意義及辨析。

3. 短文改錯中主要考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)的使用。

一、名詞的數(shù)

1. 易被誤用作可數(shù)的不可數(shù)名詞：advice， bread， baggage， clothing， equipment， fun， furniture， health， homework， housework， information， luggage， music， news， progress， weather等。如：

Xiao Li has recently made a great progress in his English study. （此句錯誤，應(yīng)去掉“a”。）

2. 區(qū)別同一名詞的可數(shù)和不可數(shù)用法

（1） 有些名詞表抽象概念時，用作不可數(shù)名詞；但意義轉(zhuǎn)化為具體時，即表示具有某種特性或狀態(tài)的人、物或事時，就作可數(shù)名詞用。常見的這類名詞有：beauty， belief， danger， difficulty， failure， help， honour， memory， pity， pleasure， success， surprise， trouble， wonder， worry等。如：

As a writer， he was a complete failure.

（2） 有些不可數(shù)名詞表示“一種”，“多種”，“一場”，“多場”，“一陣”等意義，用作可數(shù)名詞。這類名詞有：food， fruit， tea， fog， rain， snow， wind， interest， law， life等。

（3） 有些不可數(shù)名詞表示其他意義時，用作可數(shù)名詞，如：

chicken [u] 雞肉—[c] 小雞

experience [u] 經(jīng)驗—[c] 經(jīng)歷

light [u] 光—[c] 燈

paper [u] 紙—[c] 報紙，試卷等

work [u] 工作，勞動—[c] 著作，作品

注意：（1） word表示“消息”是不可數(shù)名詞；表示“諾言”時，只用單數(shù)形式。（2） man表示“人類”用作不可數(shù)名詞。（3） tea，coffee，beer，juice等通常為不可數(shù)名詞，但當(dāng)表示“一杯茶/咖啡/啤酒/果汁”時，可用作可數(shù)名詞，如：

— “Would you like something to drink？”

— “Two coffees.”

3. 名詞的復(fù)數(shù)

（1） 有些名詞以其復(fù)數(shù)形式表示特定的意義，如：

arms 武器ashes 灰燼，骨灰

clothes 衣服contents 目錄

congratulations 道賀drinks 飲料

directions 用法說明forces 軍隊

games 運(yùn)動會glasses 眼鏡

goods 商品greens 青菜

instructions 操作說明looks 外貌

remains 遺物，遺體sands 沙灘

spirits 情緒，心情thanks 感謝

④month→months， stomach→stomachs

二、名詞的格

1. 名詞所有格適用范圍：

（1） 用于有生命的名詞。如：a children’s hospital。

（2） 用于表示時間、距離、國家、城市、團(tuán)體、機(jī)構(gòu)等無生命的名詞。如：the company’s success；five minutes’ walk。

2. 雙重所有格“of + 名詞所有格或名詞性物主代詞”的用法。注意，雙重所有格修飾的名詞前，通常有不定冠詞、指示代詞、疑問代詞、不定代詞（any， some， another， few等）或數(shù)詞修飾。如：this little daughter of the teacher’s。

三、同義、近義名詞的辨析

名詞的同義、近義辨析常靈活地設(shè)題于單項填空、完形填空、短文改錯題型中，考查對名詞的含義和用法的準(zhǔn)確掌握。在考生備考時要歸納整理易錯易混的同義、近義名詞，如：cause，reason，excuse；accident， incident，event，affair；family，house，home。

第二部分 閱讀理解（第一節(jié)共10小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

A

During my high school years， the most important thing was what I was wearing for the Friday night dance and who I was taking to. Although college was talked about， it was the least of my worries.

When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school， my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation， he gave me a card in which he wrote， “Enjoy your four years， they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then， but looking back， he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person， pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.

However， I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school， that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off（置之不理）. I wasn’t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did during the half time of dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college， so I told them I would go to community college（社區(qū)學(xué)院）and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.

When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college， I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away， meeting new people， discovering new places， and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it. I thought college was supposed to be different！ Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same？ I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus（大學(xué)校園）atmosphere instead of two.

My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school

days for a second chance！

36. Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores？

A. He wanted to go to community college.

B. He had been admitted for his gift in dance.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen or sportswomen？ For many children it means starting school work very young， and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day， even at the weekend， when most of his or her friends are playing.

Another problem is of course money. In many countries， money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help cannot be given， it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes， transport to competitions， special equipment， etc. They can all be very expensive.

Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers， however， believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top， and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

39. This article is most probably taken from ___ .

D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible

41. Which of the following statements is true？

A. By starting training very young， the children will have more experience.

B. Through early training， the children can reach the top as successful sports person without any doubt.

C. Most children may become professional sportsmen or sportswomen after a long period of training.

As one climbs the ladder of success， education plays a most important role. General Electric understands this importance and through its educational publications attempts to answer questions young people who try to climb the ladder commonly raise： Why should I stick to my studies？ Why should I work？ Why should I study English？ Why should I read？

Even those students who have to leave school and find work can advance—if they keep on learning， and make up for the advantages missed by leaving school. The person， however， who sticks to his studies and prepares himself for a particular skill starts out on the job with an advantage over the school dropout（綴學(xué)）. When a person is being interviewed for a job， he is almost always asked： What subjects did you take？ How well did you do in them？ For a person’s school record and his attitude towards education usually show what he will do on the job.

Work is the meat and potatoes of the meal of life. But more than these， satisfying work makes a person know that he is worthwhile. The work that a student does both inside and outside the classroom prepares him for his career. Good school marks， healthy involvement in activities after class， and summer or part—time work experience make an unbeatable student record.

The ability to express ideas in writing and in speaking heads the list of requirements for success. A good command of English and knowledge of good literature are marks of an educated person. What a person writes and what he says determine in part how fast he can climb up the success ladder.

Reading is our most important means of learning. We gain information by reading and by being able to understand what we read. Self—education is largely reading. Reading puts us “in the know”， and we can listen wisely and hold our own in speaking. Almost all that is worth knowing is in the words， and the more of these words we put into our minds， the more our minds can hold.

43. The passage is mainly about ___ .

A. why General Electric considers education important

B. why one should work

C. how one can succeed as a student

D. what General Electric requires of its workers

44. General Electric believes that those who work without enough schooling ___ .

A. have to go back and make up for the lessons

B. can succeed if they keep on learning

C. must have their special skills for their jobs

D. will find it difficult to climb up the success ladder

45. A person who is being interviewed for a job is asked about his education because ___ .

A. it is important to his success

B. he has to show he has certain advantages over others

C. a good school will make a big difference

D. his school record tells what job he will be able to do well

第二節(jié) 下面文章中有5處（第46～50題）需要添加小標(biāo)題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability.

B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life.

C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.

D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.

E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.

F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life.

46. _______________

As awareness of the benefits of humour increases， most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically， emotionally， and spiritually. Every system of the body reacts to laughter in some important or positive way.

47. _______________

Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour， “either you have got it or you don’t”. This is 1！ What is true， however， is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example， we laugh when we are tickled（胳肢）under the arm， even without thinking about how to react.

48. _______________

The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human babies， but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. （After all， when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say， “That kid has a great sense of humour！”） Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself—then you will make them laugh too.

49. _______________

Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes， a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact， one of the best definitions（定義）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious part in a situation.”

50. _______________

There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour， but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life， more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air， food and water， but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.
