1、分析一致性,巧妙学数词数词属限定词,它与很多词存在一致关系,分析这些一致关系,可以巧妙地学习数词。 一、 分析数词与名词一致性,巧妙学习数词 基数词(大于1)后面应接复数名词,但复合形容词中的基数词应修饰单数名词,序数词后面应接单数名词。表示第几时可用the+序数词+单数名词,也可用单数名词加基数词。 例1:She has one pink pen and two grey _. A. one B. once C. ones D. ones 析:D为正确答案。two后面应接复数名词。 例2:We are going to learn _ next week. A. Lesson Twelve
2、B. Lesson Twelfth C. Twelfth Lesson D. the Lesson Twelfth 析:A为正确答案。第十二课可表达为Lesson Twelve或the twelfth lesson。 例3:Its _ walk from here to my school. A. two-hours B. two hours C. two-hour D. a two-hour 析:D为正确答案。该空为复合形容词作定语,中间的名词应用单数。 二、 分析数词与量词一致性,巧妙学习数词 数词后面接量词时,数词无论有多大,量词都要用单数形式。 例1:Two _ died of col
3、d last winter. A. hundreds old people B. hundred old people C. hundreds of old people D. hundred old peoples 析:B为正确答案。使用数词+量词+复数名词结构时,量词应用单数形式。 例2: Shortly after the accident, two_ police were sent to the spot to keep order. A. dozen of B. dozens C. dozen D. dozens of 析:C为正确答案。two后面应接单数量词。 三、 分析数词与介
4、词一致性,巧妙学习数词 数词前面加介词常表示年龄或年代,此时数词需用复数形式。这样的场合常见的有:in the 1990s / 1990s (在二十世纪九十年代), by twos and threes (三三两两地), in the eighties (在八十年代), in ones sixties (在某人六十多岁时)。 例1:The hero of the story is an artist in his_. A. thirtieth B. thirty C. thirtys D. thirties 析:D为正确答案。in his thirties意为在他三十多岁时。 例2:It is
5、 rare in _ that people in _fifties are going to university for further education. A. 90s; the B. the 90s; / C. 90s; their D. the 90s; their 析:D为正确答案。in the 90s表示在90年代;in their fifties表示在他们五十多岁时。 四、 分析数词与动词一致性,巧妙学习数词 分数、百分数作主语时谓语动词取决于of后面的名词;one of+复数名词表示总数超过一个,作主语时动词用复数,the only one of+复数名词表示总数中只有一个
6、,作主语时动词用单数;表示重量、长度、价值、时间等概念的复数名词可看成一个整体,作主语时动词用单数。 例1:Ten years _ a very short time in history. A. is B. are C. has been D. were 析:A为正确答案。Ten years 可看成一个整体,作主语动词用单数。 例2:As we all know, three feet_ equal to one meter. A. are B. is C. were D. was 析:B为正确答案。three feet可看成一个整体,作主语动词应用单数。 例3:He is the only
7、 one of the employees who_ sent abroad for further training for five years. A. is B. are C. have been D. has been 析:D为正确答案。析语境可知,该句表示他是五年来被派往国外培训的唯一一位雇员,所以谓语动词应用现在完成时单数形式 has been。 例4:_ of the land in that district _covered with trees and grass. A. Two fifth; is B. Two fifth; are C. Two fifths; is D
8、. Two fifths; are 析:C为正确答案。分数的表示方法为:先讲分子,再讲分母,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子大于1时,分母用序数词复数形式。因为land为不可数名词,动词应用单数形式。 五、分析数词与冠词一致关系,巧妙学习数词 复合形容词中基数词常与不定冠词搭配,此时基数词若为元音发音开头时,应在其前面加an,若为辅音发音开头的应在其前面加a。 例1:Dont take _ one-sided view of anything. A. a B. an C. the D. / 析:A为正确答案。one为辅音发音开头,前面应加a。 序数词前面通常加the修饰,表示第几次用the+
9、序数词+time,但表示又一次、再一次时,应用a+序数词+time。 例2: Ive already asked him three times, I wonder if I can ask him_time. A. four B. fourth C. a four D. a fourth 析:D为正确答案。该空语境表示又一次、再一次,应填a fourth。 六、分析数词与倍数搭配关系,巧妙学习数词 数词与倍数(times)搭配常用于A is.times as large/long as B句型 (A是B大小/长度的.倍)或A is.times larger/longer than B (A比
10、B大/长.倍)。 例1:The house rent is expensive. Ive got about half the space I have at home and Im paying _here. A. as three times much B. as much three times C. much as three times D. three times as much 析:D为正确答案。该空表示我所花的费用是家里的三倍,应使用A is.times as large/long as B句型,here前面省去了as I pay at home。 例2:Americans e
11、at _ vegetables per person today as they did in 1910. A. more than twice B. as twice as many C. twice as many as D. more than twice as many 析:D为正确答案。as they did in 1990提示该空格处表示倍数,可使用A is.times as large / long as B句型。 例3:After the new machinery was set up, the company produced _ refrigerators in 2000 as the year before. A. as twice many B. as many twice C. twice as many D. twice many as 析:C为正确答案。as the year before暗示该空表示倍数,应使用A is.times as large/long as B句型。
