2、单复数 可数名词与不可数名词的典型区别在于前者有单数和复数两种形式。 TOEFL 考试中经常在不可数名词后面加了 s,变为复数形式,其实这是再考你辨别可数名词和不可数名词的能力。TOEFL 中还经常考可数名词是采用单数还是复数, 这往往要通过句意或者其他的一些指示词来辨别。 例如:various colors(various 是各种各样的,后面当然要用复数形式) 满分网托福语法2下面我们会讲一下复数形式。 复数形式简而言之就是在单数词尾加-s,但实际上细分起来还有一些具体的规则: 1结尾是 s, o, x, ch, sh 的词, 加-es, 如:buses, tomatoes, faxes,
3、matches, brushes 2结尾是“辅音字母+y”的词, 去掉 y 加-ies, 如: factory-factories 3结尾是 f, fe 的词, 去掉 f, fe 加-ves, 如: half-halves, knife-knives 4结尾是 o, f 的词也有一些加-s, 如: photos, beliefs, chiefs 例题: (1) Flower have long been cultivated and bred for their beauty and their fragrance. A B C D 答案:A 应改为:Flowers 解释:表泛指时,可数名词可
4、用不定冠词加单数或直接用复数,因谓语是复数,故改为复数 (2) Doctor are discovering that there is a strong psychological component to chronic A B C D pain. 答案:A 应改为:Doctors 解释:表泛指时,可数名词用冠词加单数或直接用复数,因谓语动词是复数,故名词也用复数 考点二 复数形式特例 这部分主要考察学生对特殊复数形式的记忆,作为考题并不过多的出现,但是在题干中的出现率却非常高,因此熟悉下列一些词的复数形式有助于理解题意 1单复数词形相同 如: people, fish, Chinese(
5、某国人), aircraft, means, series, species,sheep, deer, aircraft等 2外来词保留了原来的复数形式, 这一点需要重点掌握, 如: basis-bases analysis-analyses crisis-crises medium(媒体)-media datum(数据)-data curriculum(课程)-curricula larva(幼虫)-larvae criterion(标准)-criteria phenomenon(现象)-phenomena 3通常只以复数形式出现的词语, 如: clothes trousers compas
6、ses(圆规) scales(天平) savings(储蓄), statistics(统计数据), headquarters(总部), 4复数形式有特殊意义的词语, 如: goods(货物), manners(礼貌), troops(军队), authorities(当局) 5 不规则的名词复数 child - children mouse - mice louse - lice tooth - teeth foot - feet 6注意:有一些结尾是-s 的词, 但是要当作单数看待, 如: physics, politics, mathematics 是表示学科的不可数名词 例题: (1)
7、With the incorporation of jazz history into current academic curricula, leading A B C jazz musicians are now founding on the faculties of several universities. D (2) Like some other running birds, the sanderling lacks a back toe and has a three-toed 满分网托福语法3A B C feet. 答案:D 应改为:foot 解释:feet 是 foot 的
8、复数形式, 不定冠词 a 之后应接可数名词的单数, 故将 feet 改为单数 词汇:sanderling: 三趾滨鹬 第二节 限定词名词究竟要用单数还是复数, 与名词之前的限定词有很大关系, 限定词通常分如下几类:1之后肯定接单数: a /an, every, one, another, each, either, this, that, such a, many a, etc.例句: Each of them has two books.You can read either book. (两本书你可以随便读一本)2之后肯定接复数: these, those, many, such, oth
9、er,大于 one 的数词(ten, hundred, thousand, million),a few /few /fewer /fewest, a (great /good / large /small) number of, severalone of, all (of), some /any (of), most (of), a lot of, lots of, the rest of, plenty of3之后既可接单数又可接复数: the, no, his, her, their, my, etc注意:这几类词大多不能同时使用考点一 否定限定词 no (1) no 既可用于可数名词
10、复数前又可用于单数前, 表示否定意义. 例如: No flowers in the garden. 花园里没有花. No one is here. (2) no 与否定副词 not 的区别是改错题的常见考点。 二者的区别在于: no 直接修饰名词, 不能与其他限定词同时出现; not 一般出现在 be 动词或助动词之后, a, an, any 等限定词之前 , 它是否定式的组成要素, 而不是名词的限定词 例题: (1) The mechanism by which brain cells store memories is - clearly understood. (A) none (B)
11、no (C) not (D) nor 答案: C 解释: 此句主谓完整, 据选项可知空白处需填入合适的词使原句变为否定, 只有否定副词 not 可以和 is配合构成否定句, A、B、D 之后都需要名词词组, 不符题意 (2) Not woman held a presidential cabinet position in the United States until 1933, when 满分网托福语法4A B C Frances Perkins became secretary of labor. D 答案: A 应改为: No 解释: Not 是否定副词应置于 be 动词或助动词之后,
12、 且它与单数名词间需加冠词, 而 no 是形容词, 可以直接修饰后面的名词考点二 their 等物主代词 1物主代词是常见的名词限定词, 其后既可接可数名词的单复数(his pen, his pens)又可接不可数名词(his time), 但不可与其他的限定词同时出现(部分数词除外), 例如:不能说 no my car, my no car,但是可以说 My two red cars 2英语中许多习惯用法在表示特指时都用物主代词而不用 the, 为的是更突出所属关系,这在 TOEFL 中是一个常考的点 例如:Manufacutrers of consumer goods often chan
13、ge the styles of their products. 这里用 their 而不用 the 例题: (1) A good exercise program helps teach people to avoid the habits that might shorten A B C the lives. D 答案: D 应改为: their 解释: 定冠词 the 指代不清, 用物主代词 their 作名词 lives 的限定语更符合英语习惯, 还可突出 lives 与 people 之间的所属关系 (2) A liquid is similar to a gas because h
14、as molecules are not fixed to each other in any A B C specific way. D 答案: B 应改为: its 解释: has 是动词, 不能修饰名词, 且与从句的谓语冲突, 依句意改为物主代词 its 作 molecules 的限定语 考点三 只接复数名词的限定词 a (large /small /great /considerable /remarkable) number of, a variety of, a set of, a few, 等表示数的固定词组之后总是接复数名词 例题: (1) In mathematical te
15、rms, modern algebra is set of objects with rules for connecting or A B C relating those objects. 答案: B 应改为: is a set 解释: a set of 是固定词组, 表示一套、一组, 后面接可数名词的复数, 与题中 objects 吻合 满分网托福语法5(2) At birth, an infant exhibits a remarkable number of motor response. A B C D 答案: D 应改为: responses 解释: 短语 a number of
16、 后面要求接可数名词的复数, number 前可加某些形容词如 great, considerable, remarkable, small 等表示 a lot of 或 a few 注意 “the number of” 和 “a number of”的区别 The number of boys in Class Five is 25. (五班男孩的数目是 25, 后面谓语动词用单数) A small number of families are able to afford an apartment. (少数家庭能够买得起一套住房, )第三节 冠词作限定词冠词是一个虚词,本身不能够独立使用,
17、 必须和一个名词连用。TOEFL 出题主要集中在 a 和 an 的区别,那些地方要加 the 那些地方不加。 考点一 不定冠词 a / an 不定冠词 a 和 an 后面当然接单数,a 和 an 的主要区别是: a 用于以辅音开头的名词前(指发音而不是拼写), 如: a tower, a university an 用于以元音开头的名词前(指发音而不是拼写), 如: an orange, an hour 不定冠词 a / an 与可数名词单数连用, 表示泛指 “一个” 、 “某一个”, 有时还可代表一类人或事物. 在作表语或同位语的可数名词单数前一般都要加不定冠词(除非名词前已有物主代词作限定
18、语, 如 my pen).例题: (1) How Native Americans developed corn is a puzzling, for no wild corn has ever A B C been discovered, and it grows only where people plant and tend it. D 答案: B 有错 应改为: puzzle. 解释: 不定冠词 a 应与可数名词单数连用, puzzling 是分词, 不能单独与 a 连用, 故改为名 词puzzle (2) Whether a healthy adult tends to feel h
19、ungry two, three, or four times a daily is a A B C Dquestion of physiology and of culture. 答案: D 有错应改为: day解释: 不定冠词 a 应与可数名词单数连用, 而 daily 是形容词, 不能单独与 a 连用, 故改为 名词 day (3) Pewter, a metal with an ancient heritage, is still practical medium for the A B Cnonprofessional metal worker.答案: C应改为: still a p
20、ractical解释: medium 是可数名词, 在句中作表语, 其单数之前应该用不定冠词 满分网托福语法6a, an 的误用是 TOEFL 常见的改错题型 例题:(1) A emotion is not necessarily aroused by something in the outside world.A B C D 答案: A应改为: An emotion解释: emotion 是元音开头的名词, 前面的冠词应用 an (2) If a atom loses any of its electrons, it becomes positively charged and can c

27、是学习英文的一个难点, 也是 TOEFL 中常出现的题型抽象名词如:(不可触及的东西,表示动作、状态、品质、感情等)如:news(新闻), information(信息), population(人口), English(英语), music(音乐), management(管理), enthusiasm(热情) work(工作), happiness(高兴)还有表达学科类的名词如:physics 物理, politics 政治学, mathematics 数学,mechanics 力学, statistics(统计学) bioloby(生物学)满分网托福语法8物质名词如:equipment(
