专题二 名词、数词与主谓一致
名词 专有名词
普通名词 个体名词 可数
集体名词
物质名词 不可数
抽象名词
一、名词的分类
二、数词分基数词和序数词两类
基数词表示数目。其作用相当于名词和形容词,它在句子中可充当主语,宾语,表语和定语。
序数词用来表示数词的顺序。序数词第一、第二和第三为first, second和third,其他序数词的构成是在基数词后加?th;fifth, eighth, ninth和twelfth在拼法上有变化;二十、三十等基数词变为序数词时,要把y变成ie再加?th,如:twenty →twentieth;基数词几十几变成序数词时,表示几十的数词不变,只把表示几的基数词变成序数词。如:twenty-one → twenty-first。
三、主谓一致
主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。主谓一致通常遵循三原则:语法一致原则;意义一致原则;就近一致原则。
语法一致原则:指主语是单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语也用复数形式。
Tom is a good student.
They often play football on the playground.
意义一致原则:指主语形式上为单数,但意义为复数,因此谓语动词用复数形式;或主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义,这时谓语动词用单数形式。
My family are having lunch now.
Twenty dollars is too expensive for the book.
就近一致原则:指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式,取决于最靠近它的主语。常用于由not only... but also; neither...nor; either...or; not...but; or 连接的并列主语及there be句型中。
Not only the teacher but also his students like playing football.
There is a pen and some books on the desk.
一、名词常考考点
【考点一】考查可数名词的单、复数形式及相关问题
名词变复数形式有一定的规则,同学们在书上都曾学过,这里仅讲述一些例外的而且常被作为考点的情况。
(1)以“o”结尾的名词变复数可稍微记一下。有些名词词尾加“?es”表复数:hero→heroes; tomato→tomatoes; potato→potatoes; Negro→Negroes; echo→echoes。有些在词尾加“s”表示复数:photo→photos;piano→pianos;radio→radios;zoo→zoos。
(2)单复同形的名词
①某些动物、鸟类、鱼类。如:deer(鹿),sheep(羊)。
②某些表示国籍的名词,如:a Chinese(一个中国人);a Swiss(一个瑞士人);a Vietnamese(一个越南人)。
注意:某些鱼类等的名称,可以有规则的复数形式,fish(鱼)是fish(单数)的一般复数形式,但当指鱼的种类时,可以用fishes表示。
(3)单数和复数意义不同的名词
air(空气)→airs(神气) ash(灰烬)→ashes(骨灰)
content(内容)→contents(目录)
custom(习惯)→customs(海关)
look(脸色)→looks(容貌)
manner(态度)→manners(礼貌)
work(工作)→works(工厂/著作)
water(水)→waters(水城)
time(时间)→times(次数)
arm(手臂)→arms(武装,手臂)
cloth(布)→clothes(衣服)
wood(木)→woods(树林)
good(善行)→goods(货物)
(4)复合名词及其复数
①将其中主要的名词改为复数,如:boyfriend→boyfriends;
match box→matchboxes等。
②与介词或副词构成的复合名词应在主体名词部分加?s,如passer?by→passersby, brother?in?law→brothers?in?law, son?in?law→sons?in?law。
③当man和woman作定语修饰另一个名词时,前后两个名词都要变复数,如:man doctor→men doctors, woman driver→women drivers。
④没有主要名词的复合名词,在词尾加?s,如:stand-by→stand-bys(旁观者),grown-up→grown-ups(成年人)
【考点二】考查不可数名词
(1)表示不可数名词的复数形式时,需要另外加量词,通常有piece, bit等。
Tom has eaten three loaves of bread, but he wants to eat more.
(2)有些名词根据用法可以是可数名词也可以是不可数名词。主要有下面几种情况:
①有些名词既可被看成“个体”,又可被看作“物质”。如:a chicken (可数,小鸡)→chicken(不可数,鸡肉)
②有些名词当可数名词使用时,指的是用这种材料做成的或者我们认为是由这种原料做成的一种东西。当把它们当不可数名词使用时,仅仅指材料。如:glass(玻璃)→a glass(玻璃杯);ice(冰)→an ice(冰淇淋);paper(纸)→papers(报纸)等。
③不可数名词在表示特殊情况时可以转化成可数名词,这时,通常在名词前加上形容词。如:a nice wine(一种好葡萄酒);或者加上某种说明,如:a wine of high quality(一种优质葡萄酒)。有很多关于饮料的词,当把它们看作一种物质时,是不可数名词,然而,也可以用a/an来表示a glass of (一杯)等的意思,或用beer, coffee的复数形式,如在餐厅点菜时,就常会说:
A(or One)beer, please.
Two teas and four coffees,please.
④education, light, noise等,作为可数名词时,指的是特殊的东西。
试比较:I have had a good education.
Education is very important for development.
I need a light by my bed.
Light travels faster than sound.

单项填空
①Having studied in American for many years, he had______ of English.
A. good knowledge B. good knowledges
C. a good knowledge D. a knowledge
解析:选C。意思是:他在美国生活多年,因此通晓英语。
【考点三】考查名词与所有格
名词的所有格一般有两种:’s型(有生命的所有格)与of型(无生命名词所有格)。要点如下:
(1)在以’s结尾的单数名词后加’s,如an actress’s career(一个女演员的生涯)。
(2)在规则的复数名词的s后边加省字号“’”,如boys’ school(男校)。
(3)复合名词中’s放最后一个词后。
My sister-in-law’s father is a teacher.
注意:也可能同时有两个所有格。
My brother’s neighbor’s sister is a teacher.
(4)在表示店铺或教堂的名字或某人的家时,名词所有格的后面常常不出现它所修饰的名词,如:the barber’s(理发店)。
(5)双重所有格:通常’s所有格表示所有关系,of所有格表示部分与整体的关系。如:a friend of my father’s表示“我父亲朋友中的一个”。
(6)of one’s own表示“某人自己的”,不可用“of+反身代词”。This is the house of my own.
【考点四】考查名词作定语
作定语的名词往往是说明中心名词的材料、用途、时间、地点、内容、类别等。作定语的名词有以下三种形式:
(1)一般用单数形式。如:a stone bridge(石桥);a meeting room(会议室);morning exercise(早操);London Airport(伦敦机场);a story book(故事书);a shoe shop(鞋店)。
(2)man, woman要与所修饰的名词的数一致。如:a woman teacher(一位女教师);two women teachers(两位女教师)。
(3)sports, sales, clothes, goods, arts, customs等只用复数形式。如:a sports meet(运动会);a goods train(货车);customs house(海关);a sales manager(营业主任)。

【考点五】考查名词的修饰语
(1)只能修饰可数名词的有:each, either, neither, another, these, those, both, (a) few, several, many, a great/good many, a large number of, scores of, dozens of等。
(2)只能修饰不可数的有:(a) little, much, a bit of, a great deal of, a large amount of等。
(3)既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词的有:some, any, half, most, all, a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, quantities of等。

单项填空
③I hear _____ boys in your school like playing football in their spare time, though others prefer basketball.
A. quite a lot B. quite a few
C. quite a bit D. quite a little
解析:选B。因为boys是复数可数名词,排除D;又quite a lot和quite a bit后不直接接名词,排除A和C。故选B。
二、数词的常考考点
【考点一】考查序数词、分数、年代、年龄等的惯用表达法
(1)在表达分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分数的分子超过“一”时,分母须加s。如:one tenth(1/10), three tenths(3/10)。
(2)英语中表示年代的直接在年份前加定冠词the, 再在年份后面加s或’s,如:“20世纪80年代”可表示为the 1980s或the 1980’s。
(3)用“in one’s+整十数的复数”表示大致年龄。如:“在我20多岁时”可表示为in my twenties;“在他10多岁时”可表示为in his teens。
【考点二】考查序号表示法
(1)单纯的序号,可在基数词前加number,简写为No.。如No.1(第一号)。
(2)事物名词的序号表达法有所不同:
①对于一些小序号可用序数词也可用基数词表达,形式分别为:the+序数词+名词;名词+基数词。
第一次世界大战可以表示为the First World War或World War One。
②对于一些大序号我们通常只用一种表达法,即名词+数词。
501号房间表示为Room 501;538路公共汽车表示为Bus 538。
【考点三】考查倍数、分数作程度状语
(1)分数表示法的构成:
①基数词代表分子,序数词代表分母。分子大于1时,分子的序数词用单数,分母序数词用复数。如:1/3 读作one-third;337读作three and three-sevenths。
②分子与分母之间加in, 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如:one in ten(十分之一)。
③分子与分母之间加out of , 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如:one out of ten(十分之一)。
(2)倍数表示法
①主语+谓语+倍数(或分数)+as+adj.+as。
I have three times as many as you.
②主语+谓语+倍数(分数)+the size (amount, length...) of...。
=The size(amount, length...)+谓语+倍数(分数)+that of...
The earth is 49 times the size of the moon. (=The size of the earth is 49 times that of the moon.)
③主语+谓语+倍数(分数)+形容词(副词)比较级+than...。

The production of grain has been increased by four times this year.
三、主谓一致
【考点一】由 many a 或 more than+单数名词作主语时,其谓语用单数形式。但是,“more+复数名词+than one”结构之后,谓语动词一般多用复数形式。
Many a foreigner has been to the Great Wall.
More than one student has visited the exhibition.
More members than one are against your plan.
【考点二】成对的名词,如:bread and butter涂黄油的面包,soda and water汽水,salt and water盐开水, heart and soul 心灵等,虽然有and连接,但仍表单一概念,作主语时,谓语用单数。
Truth and honesty is the best policy.
To love and to be loved is great happiness.
Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.
【考点三】由 and 连接的并列单数主语的前面分别有each, every或no修饰时,其谓语用单数形式。

Each book and each paper is found in its place.
【考点四】主语后跟有together with, along with,as well as,no less than,rather than, with, not, like, but, except, besides, including等引起的短语时,谓语动词要和句子真正的主语保持一致。
He as well as his sister is a League member.
He, like Tom and Mike, is very clever.
【考点五】表示度量、价格、时间的复数名词词组作主语时一般被看作一个整体,谓语用单数形式。但是如果说话人侧重于一个个的个体,谓语用复数。

A hundred miles is a long distance.
Three months have passed since he left.
【考点六】主语是family, team, group, crowd, class, public等集合名词时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语用单数形式,如指的是全体人员时,谓语用复数。

My family is a large one.
【考点七】主语是“each of...;either of...;one of...”等时,其谓语用单数。“neither of...;none of...”谓语动词一般用单数,但后加复数名词时谓语动词也可用复数。

Each student has a dictionary.
The students each have a dictionary. (each用作同位语)

【考点十二】名词性物主代词作主语时,既可以用作单数,也可以用作复数,这取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。such, the same 起指示代词作用时,应根据其所指的内容来决定单、复数。
