冠词、名词和主谓一致
【考点分析】
冠词
1.不定冠词a/an表示个别或泛指的用法;定冠词the特指某一个人或事物的用法;
2.考查冠词在固定搭配中的用法,包括零冠词(即不用冠词)表示泛指及其习惯搭配用法;
3.考查不定冠词在具体化抽象名词前的用法;
4.考查冠词在比较级前的用法;
5.考查冠词在其他特殊结构中的用法;
6.考查用不用冠词意义大相同的短语。
名词和主谓一致
1.对名词的可数与不可数性的考查:
①最常见的形式是主谓一致的考查;分数和百分数作主语、数量词作主语仍是考查重点(as well as; together with; along
with; not only…but also…; rather than; neither…nor…;
either…or…; the number of与a number of等要特别关注);
②有些名词的复数形式可以表示特别的意义;
③有些名词通常用作不可数名词;
④有些名词用作不可数名词时,表示抽象概念,与不定冠词连用或用作可数名词时表示个体事物;
⑤有些名词,既可以作可数名词,也可以用作不可数名词,但意思不一样;
⑥某些集体名词,如果把它们所表示的人或事物当作整体来看待,谓语动词用单数形式;如果把它们表示的人或事物当作若干个体来看,谓语动词用复数形式。
2.对名词词义及词义辨析的考查;
3.对名词与介词固定搭配的考查;
4.对名词句法功能的考查:重在考查名词作定语的用法。
【冠词】
冠词分为不定冠词(a, an),定冠词(the),和零冠词。
I. 不定冠词
泛指首提为最多,有时表示某“一个”;
物质抽象表“一场”,so加形容再加“a”;
可数名词为“一类”,序数词前“又一个”
quite等词常放后,固定短语须琢磨。
II 定冠词
特指双方都熟悉,上文原来已提及;
世上独一无二份,后接序数最高级;
某些专有名词中,习语乐器别忘记。
III 零冠词
下列情况应免冠,代词限定名词前;
