问: 历年真题中名词的常考点主要有哪些?
答: 名词的考点主要有三大类,一是名词的单复数,二是名词修饰词,三是名词的所有格。请看超级记忆导图:
问: 名词有哪些需要特别注意的地方?
答: 名词的学习主要有以下两点需要我们注意。
第一,英汉差异。 英语中名词的单复数不一定与汉语一致。 比如说, advice(建议)在英文中是不可数名词,suggestion(建议)在英文中是可数名词。同样都是“建议”,怎么就一个可数,一个不可数呢?而且在汉语中没有可数或不可数的说法。所以很多时候我们需要注意使用习惯的问题。
第二, 英语中的不可数名词也能在某些情况下转化成可数名词 。也就是说,英语中的同一个名词在不同含义下,既可能是可数的,也可能是不可数的。比如说:chicken鸡(可数);鸡肉(不可数);又比如:room 房间(可数);空间(不可数)。
因此,判断名词的可数与不可数是一个点滴积累的过程。要知道,英语中的名词有很多个,这当中有多少是可数的,多少是不可数的,又有多少既是可数又是不可数的,要想一次全记住不大现实,这也是本书为什么不一一列举的原因。只有多查字典,多积累才能逐渐掌握。
问: 近年中考名词的考点趋势是什么?
答: 在最近几年的中考中,考查最多的是 名词词义辨析 ,而这类考点考查的是学生的词汇量,即认不认识该名词。如果认识,根据句意就可以顺利做对该题,否则,做对这类题目的概率就小了,所以词汇基础非常重要。当然,在本章节我们主要复习名词的基础知识,对于词汇的记忆,同学们就需要平常多下功夫了。同学们也可以参考《24天突破中考英语词汇1800》一书,该书讲解了很多有关记忆词汇的小技巧。
名词按表义来分可以分为专有名词和普通名词,普通名词又可分为下面四类:1)个体名词;2)集体名词;3)物质名词;4)抽象名词。
名词按数目来分则通常分为可数名词与不可数名词。个体名词和集体名词可以用数目来计算,称为可数名词,物质名词和抽象名词一般无法用数目计算,称为不可数名词。为了便于大家一目了然,我们用下图表示:
A. 可数名词复数的一般变化规则
B.以字母o结尾的可数名词复数的变化规则
C.以字母f或fe结尾的可数名词复数的变化规则
D.特殊的名词复数变化规则
E.复合名词的复数变化规则
F.其他名词单复数考点
问: 不可数名词没有复数形式,那如何表达数量?
答: 不可数名词虽然没有复数形式,但可以 借助单位量词来表示一定的数量 ,最常用的单位量词有piece、bit、item等,比如a piece of advice一条建议;three pieces of advice三条建议。
又如paper作“纸”讲时是不可数名词,没有复数形式,要表示其数量一般用“数词+piece(s)+of”短语表示。
—What would you like to drink, girls?
—______, please. [黄冈卷]
A. Two glass of water
B. Two glass of waters
C. Two cups of tea
D. Two cups of teas
温馨讲解: 本题考查不可数名词的数量。tea和water都是不可数名词,因此可以排除B和D,而不可数名词在表示复数的时候它的量词也要变复数,两杯应该用two cups,cup要加s,所以正确答案为C。
句意:——想喝点什么,女孩们? ——请来两杯茶。
______ about the sports meeting make us excited. [安顺卷]
A. News B. Information C. Messages D. Advice
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词的可数与不可数。由题中谓语动词make是原形可知,主语应该是可数名词复数形式,而news、information、advice都是不可数名词,所以答案为C。
句意:运动会的消息令我们兴奋不已。
—What a good ______ you've given me! Thanks a lot.
—My pleasure. [滨州卷]
A. information B. news C. suggestion D. advice
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词的可数与不可数。根据句中的不定冠词a可知,此处应选可数名词。suggestion表示“建议”,为可数名词,而A、B和D均为不可数名词,所以正确答案为C。
句意:——您给我们的建议太好了!太感谢了。 ——不客气。
—Could you please offer me some _______ in my research?
—Yes, sure. [达州卷]
A. idea B. message C. suggestion D. advice
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词的可数与不可数。本句中有some,后接可数名词复数或不可数名词。idea、message、suggestion均为可数名词单数形式,因此可以排除A、B和C,正确答案为D。
句意:——你能就我的研究给我提供一些建议吗? ——好的,当然可以。
一般表示生命的名词多加“'s ”表示所有关系,表示无生命的名词多加of表示所有关系,但二者都有例外。
“It depends on my ______ decision,” the mother said and looked at her two sons. [武威卷]
A. children B. children's C. child D. child's
温馨讲解: 考查名词所有格。根据句中的two sons可知,要用child的复数形式children,其所有格形式是直接在后面加's。children's表示“孩子们的”,所以答案为B。
句意:妈妈看了看她的两个儿子说:“它取决于我孩子们的决定。”
______ mothers can't go to the meeting, because they have gone to New York on business. [内江卷]
A. Alice and Lily's B. Alice's and Lily's C. Alice's and Lily
温馨讲解: 考查名词所有格。A项是指她们共有的母亲;B项表示她们各自的母亲;C项没有这种表达形式,首先排除C。由mothers以及后半句中的they可知,这里指的是她们各自的母亲,因此答案为B。
句意:艾丽丝的妈妈和露西的妈妈不能去开会,因为她们去纽约出差了。
Tom's watch is the same as his ______. [黑龙江卷]
A. brother B. brothers C. brother's
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词所有格。his brother's=his brother's watch,所以答案为C。
句意:汤姆的手表和他哥哥的一样。
问: 是不是只有有生命的名词才能加“'s”构成名词所有格?
答: 不是的。表示时间、距离、国家等无生命的名词,也可用's构成所有格(复数时是s')。如:today's newspaper 今天的报纸;ten minutes' walk十分钟的步行路程。
It's ______ from our school to my home. [岳阳卷]
A. ten minutes' walk B. ten minute's walk C. ten minutes walk
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词所有格。以-s结尾的名词所有格只加’号,所以答案为A。
句意:从我们学校到我家有十分钟的路程。
There is a picture ______ my family on the wall. [重庆卷]
A. of B. up C. after D. to
温馨讲解: 本题考查名词所有格。“我们家的全家福”应为a picture of my family,因此答案为A。
句意:墙上有一张我们家的全家福。
问: 是不是只有无生命的名词才能加“of+名词”的所有格?
答: 不是的。有时有生命的“'s”名词所有格可以和“of+名词”的所有格互换。如:Tom's patience=the patience of Tom 汤姆的耐心;Mr Smith's daughter=the daughter of Mr Smith 史密斯先生的女儿。
—Hi! Do you know Tom is ______ cousin?
—Yes, and I am a friend of ______. Nice to meet you! [贵州卷]
A. mine; him B. my; his C. mine; his D. my; him
温馨讲解: 考查代词与名词所有格。第一个空格后面有名词,所以用形容词性物主代词my修饰名词,答语是名词双重所有格,用名词性物主代词his,所以答案为B。
句意:——你好!你知道汤姆是我的表弟吗? ——知道,我是他的一个朋友。很高兴遇见你!
