高考英语名词的用法 2009-10-04 21:17 2010年高考英语复习名词的用法 ◆典型陷阱题分析◆ 　　1. I found her sitting in the corner, reading _____ newspaper, with _____ in her eyes.　　A. a, tear????????????????????????????????????????????????? B. a piece of, tears　　C. a, tears???????????????????????????????????????????????? D. a piece of, tear　　【陷阱】误选D，许多学生错误地认为，既然news(消息)和 paper(纸)均为不可数名词，那么newspaper(报纸)也应是不可数的；同时认为“眼泪”即“泪水”，“水”不可数，“泪水”和“眼泪”也应该不可数。　　【分析】最佳答案为C。newspaper和 tear均为可数名词，它们不仅可以连用不定冠词、可以用复数，而且还可以连用数词。　　Her eyes filled with tears. 她热泪盈眶。　　She dried her tears with a handkerchief. 她用手帕擦干了眼泪。　　The newspapers were full of lies. 报纸上一片谎言。　　A newspaper is a publication. 报纸是一种出版物。　　顺便说一句，若不是将 newspaper 当作是供阅读或传递信息的一种东西，而只是把它当成一种“纸”来看待，也可用作不可数名词，如：　　Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用张报纸包起来。 　　2. Her father works as a ______ in a hotel and her mother a ______ in a private company.　　A. cooker, typewriter???????????????????????????????? B. cook, typist　　C. cooker, typist??????????????????????????????????????? D. cook, typewriter　　【陷阱】误选A，许多同学想当然地认为：cook 用作动词，表示“煮饭”，所以 cooker 应是其相应的名词，表示“煮饭的人”，即“厨师”；type 用作动词，表示“打字”，所以 typewriter 应表示“打字员”。　　【分析】而事实是：cook=厨师，cooker=炊具；typist=打字员，typewriter=打字机。即此题正确答案为B。 　　3. “Why couldn’t they meet us at five o’clock?” “Because they were delayed by ________.”　　A. heavy traffic???????????????????????????????????????? 　??? B. heavy traffics　　C. crowded traffic???????????????????????????????????? D. crowded traffics　　【陷阱】B、C、D三项均容易误选。　　【分析】对于此题，首先要明确traffic为不可数名词，没有复数形式，故排除B和D。另外，汉语习惯说“交通拥挤”，而英语习惯上却不能用crowded 来修饰 traffic，要表示汉语的“交通拥挤”，英语通常说heavy traffic，即选A。如下面一题也是选A：　　She is not a competent driver and can’t cope with driving in _______.　　A. heavy traffic???????????????????????????????????????? 　??? B. heavy traffics　　C. crowded traffic???????????????????????????????????? D. crowded traffics 　　4. In fact, _______ one cause that leads to the problem.　　A. cattle is??????????????????????????????????????????????? B. cattle are　　C. cattles are??????????????
