(通用版)高考英语一轮专题巡练 考点02 名词和主谓一致考点详解(含解析)-人教版高三全册英语试题

考点02 名词和主谓一致名词是历年高考的重要考点,常常出现在完形填空、语法填空和短文改错题型中。
名词局部主要考查:①名词的词义辨析和习惯搭配②名词的数〔可数与不可数、单数与复数〕③名词的所有格④抽象名词的具体化⑤名词和冠词的搭配名词是中学英语的主要词汇之一,也是历年高考的重要考点。
研究近年的高考题我们不难看出,名词局部主要考查名词的词义辨析和习惯搭配、名词的数〔可数与不可数、单数与复数〕、名词的所有格、抽象名词的具体化、物质名词的量化、名词和冠词的搭配以与主谓一致等。
在学习过程中,要掌握常用名词的根本用法,注意一词多义和旧词新义。
另外要多归纳总结,做题时要结合语境。
名词的数可数名词的数1.可数名词的数〔不规如此变化〕〔1〕单、复数同形。
如:means, aircraft, deer, fish, Chinese, Japanese, sheep。
〔2〕合成名词的复数。
如:boyfriend→boyfriends, go-between→go-betweens(中间人), grown-up→grown-ups, passer-by→passers-by, looker-on→lookers-on, woman doctor→women doctors。
〔3〕只有复数形式的名词。
此类名词往往以复数形式出现,表示“衣服〞、“工具〞等的总称,不能用具体的数字修饰,也不能加不定冠词a/an,但可以用a pair of/two pairs of, many等修饰。
如:clothes, tights, jeans, pajamas, pants, shorts, socks, stockings, trousers, glasses, chopsticks, compasses, pincers, scissors, scales等;另外一类总是以复数形式出现,但不能用具体的数字修饰,也不能用a/an,a pair of等修饰,只能用many, a great many, a lot of等修饰。
高考英语名词知识点总结

2021年高考英语名词知识点总结研究近年来高考题我们不难看出,名词部分要紧考察名词的词义辨析和适应搭配、名词的数(可数与不可数、单数与复数)、名词的所有格、抽象名词的具体化、物质名词的量化、名词和冠词的搭配以及主谓一致等。
在高考试题中,名词常结合其他项目一起考察,考察题型以单项选择、短文改错、完形填空、语篇中的名词词义明白得、及写作部分等。
单项填空对名词的考察重点放在名词词义辨析,专门是同义词和近义词的辨析上。
名词的适应用法、一词多义、抽象名词具体化,名词动用等方面也是考察的重点。
一、对同义词、近义词的考查1、 At the meeting they discussed threedifferent_______to the study of mathematics。
A.approachesB.meansC.methodsD.ways【答案】D。
【解析】在会议上他们讨论了三种不同的学习数学的方法。
way 意为“方式,方法”,可指具体的方法,也可指抽象的方法,多指一样的思想、行动、办事的方法,也可指个人专门的方式、方法。
approach意为“接近,靠近,方式,方法”,指接近某人或某事,也可指对待或处理情况的方式或方法。
mean意为“方式,方法”,用于抽象意义,可指为达到某一目的而采纳的方法、打算、政策、策略等,尤指整套方法;用于具体意义,常指为达到某一目的所使用的工具、材料、机器、用具、车船等。
method意为“方式,方法”,指具体的、系统的、有步骤的方法,强调条理性及高效率。
【备考提示】面对英语学习中的大量近义词,仅凭母语我们往往无法把它们真正明白得和说明清晰。
要尽可能地多翻阅英语词典,注意并比较它们的差不多义,用英语的思维方式和语言来说明和明白得它们。
二、对相似词的考查2、Always read the_______on the bottle carefully and take the right amount of medicine.A. explanationsB. instructionsC. descriptionsD. introductions【答案】B。

高考词汇辨析

高考词汇辨析高考作为学生们追逐的目标,是人生中重要的一次考试。
在备考过程中,词汇辨析是一个重要的环节。
词汇辨析考察学生对词义的理解和运用能力,并且对于理科和文科考生来说,词汇辨析的考点有所不同。
本文将从几个常见的高考单词入手,进行辨析,并提供一些学习技巧。
首先,我们来看一下“regular”和“normal”这两个单词。
在日常生活中,我们经常会用到这两个词,但在高考中,对它们的考查主要在于区分它们在语境中的使用。
一般来说,“regular”指的是按照规则或常规发生或进行的,而“normal”则用来形容符合标准或者符合某个预期的事物或状态。
举个例子,“regular”可以用来描述一个重复出现的事件。
比如说,“She has regular classes every Monday and Wednesday.”(她每周一和周三都有固定的课程。
)而“normal”则用来形容一个正常的状态或事物。
例如,“It’s normal for babies to cry a lot.”(婴儿哭得多是正常的。
)那么,下面我们来比较一下“occasion”和“opportunity”这两个词。
虽然它们的意思都是“机会”,但在高考中的考查点也是不同的。
“occasion”更偏向于指特定的时刻或时机,如“on the occasion of”(在……时刻)。
而“opportunity”则更侧重于指给予某人的机会,也可以用来表示“时机”。
例如,“I would like to t ake this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me.”(我想借此机会感谢一下支持过我的人。
)此外,我们还需要掌握“complement”和“compliment”这两个单词的区别。
“complement”用作名词时,表示补充物或部分,并且通常是与其他事物相互配合的。
例如:“The red wine is a nice complement to the steak.”(红酒是牛排很好的搭配)。

英语高考词汇辨析及易混易错词汇辨析(二)名词及其用法辨析名词及其用法辨析1)高考英语名词难点:名词词义辨析、可数名词与不可数名词;抽象名词的具体化;名词的所有格;名词作定语以及名词固定习语;名词与主谓一致等。
在学习过程中,要掌握常用名词的基本用法,注意一词多义和旧词新义。
注意辨别词义及其用法时要结合语境。
以下几组词是常见易混词难点:(1)sound, noise与voicesound,noise和voice这三个名词都可表示“声音”,但是,它们表示的“声音”并不相同。
sound作“声音”,“响声”讲时,可以指人或动物发出的声音,或物体碰撞的声言。
这个词的使用范围很大。
可以说,大自然的任何“声音”都可以用sound。
e.g.: At midnight he heard a strange sound. 半夜里,他听到一种奇怪的声音。
Light travels much faster than sound.光的传播速度比声音快得多。
noise意为“噪音”、“喧闹声”,常指不悦耳、不和谐的嘈杂声。
e.g.: Don’t make any noise!别吵闹!The noise wakes me up.噪音吵醒了我!voice一般指人的声音,说话、唱歌。
谈笑都可用voice。
sound和noise不仅能指人的声音,还可以表示别的动物发出的声音;而voice除了有时可指鸟的声音外,很少表示其它动物的声音。
e.g.: The girl has a beautiful voice. 那女孩嗓音很美。
They are talking in low voices.他们正小声交谈。
(2)family, house与homefamily, 家庭,更多人文属性;house, 房子,物质属性;home,指“家、住所”,指一个人(或一家人)居住的地方,也可指一个人出生或长大的地方(乡村、城市或国家等),它具有house所没有的感情色彩(如团聚、思念等),家,家不一定有house;family 的意思是“家庭、家庭成员”,与居住的房子无关。
当family作为整体概念的“家庭”讲时是单数;当“家庭成员”讲时是复数。
e.g.: Mr. Green’s family is very large. 格林先生家里的人很多。
house 指“家”时含义较窄,仅指“房屋”这一建筑物,一般指独门独户的房子,不指楼房。
e.g.: New houses are going up everywhere. 到处都是新盖的房子。
There is a house near the river. 河边有座房子。
The American friends are leaving Beijing for home tomorrow. 明天美国朋友要离开北京回国了。
Lin Chong left home for Liang Mountain. 林冲离开家到梁山去了。
(3)sight, view, scene与scenerysight则既可以指场景、眼前看到的景观,又可以指名胜、风景,但表示后者的含义时,习惯上要用复数。
e.g.: The sight was quite amusing. 这景象使人感到有趣。
We saw the sights of Hong Kong by bus. 我们乘公共汽车观看香港的风景。
Mary walked around the town, looking at the sights. 玛丽在城里到处转,逛各处景点。
view主要指从某处看到的东西或景象,有时也指“风景”,尤指自然美景(fine natural scenery)。
e.g.: From the window there was a clear view of the mountains. 从窗户往外看是一览无余的群山。
scene多指某一特定或具体场面所表示的“景色”、“场景”等,可以是室内的也可以是室外的、可以是城市的也可以是乡村的、可以是活动的也可以是静态的等。
e.g.: There are some pretty scenes in the park. 公园里有几处美丽的景色。
As he entered the room, he was confronted by a scene of disorder. 他进入房间,面对的是一幅乱糟糟的场面。
scenery 是表示“风景”的集合名词(不可数),主要指某一国家或地区的总体“景色或自然风景”,并侧重从“美”的角度加以考虑。
e.g.: What beautiful scenery! 真是风景如画!We all enjoy mountain scenery. 我们都喜欢山景。
(4)produce, product与 production三者均可表示“产品”,其区别是:produce 主要指农产品,是一个不可数的集合名词。
e.g.: We need some fresh produce. 我们需要一些新鲜的农产品。
The farmers brought their produce to town earlyeach Saturday morning. 每星期六清早农民们就把农产品运进城。
product 主要指工业产品,也可指农产品,是可数名词。
如:Our car is a product of that factory. 我们的车是那个工厂生产的。
The market sells food products. 这家商店出售食品。
注:有时用于引申义。
如:He saw man as the product of society. 他把人看作是社会的产物。
production 通常不表示具体的产品,它主要指生产这一动作或过程,是不可数名词。
e.g.: The company is famous for the production of small cars. 这家公司以生产小型汽车闻名。
注:production 除表示“生产”外,还可指艺术作品,此时为可数名词。
e.g.:The theme of his late prodcutions was life and death. 他晚期作品的主题是生与死。
(5)training , practice 与drilltraining 是普通用词,指身心有系统的发展,其目的是使之能熟练地掌握一些技能技巧,以适应某一目的的需要。
e.g.: He has had no college training. 他没有受过大学训练。
He went into training for the race. 他开始训练参加比赛。
practice 指把所学理论应用于实践中, 以便获得技巧或能力。
e.g.: Practice makes perfect. 熟练生巧。
It takes a lot of practice to play the piano well. 弹好钢琴需要大量的练习。
