名词和冠词是高考的必考内容。大凡只要有名词出现就会涉及冠词的运用。因此冠词必须结合名词的使用来掌握。

一、冠词

难点形成原因:

1. 分不清元音因素、辅音音素或元音字母、辅音字母。

2. 不能区分不定冠词a, an和定冠词the,不知道什么是特指、泛指。

3. 把握不清特殊情况下冠词的用法。

4. 没有经常总结或归纳。

5. 训练量不够,使用不熟练,易混淆。

冠词三要素

1. 表示具体含义的单数可数名词前通常要有冠词。请改错:

①I agree with English teachers view that dictionary is a tool not a walking stick.(2 errors)

②A class master tells us that we must take good care of air conditioner in the classroom.(2 errors)

【解析】①第一处:English teacher前加the。此处英语老师是特指某位英语老师;第二处:dictionary前加a。dictionary是单数可数名词,前面应该有冠词,因此处为泛指,故使用a。

②第一处A改为The。班主任是特指,应使用定冠词;第二处:air conditioner前加the,空调是特指教室里的空调,应使用the限制。

2. 不可数名词,如果不特指,一般不用冠词;如果特指,要用the。请改错:

①We are often told that we should learn to observe everything happening in the society and the nature.(2 errors)

②Water is source of the life, which is a truth that we all know.(2 errors)

【解析】①第一处:society前的the去掉。society表示“社会”时是不可数名词,没有定语修饰时(形容词或of短语)不用冠词;第二处nature前的the去掉。nature表示“自然”时,前面不用冠词。

②第一处:source前加the。此处source是表示特指,即生命之源,前面应有定冠词the;第二处life前的the去掉。life在此是不可数名词,前面无需任何冠词。

3. 复数名词,如果不特指,前面不用冠词。如:

As Gorky said, “Books are the ladder of human progress.”

Getting along with friends is an art.

冠词的特殊用法

1. 单数可数名词表示其用途时,前面不用冠词,如in hospital住院,go to prison蹲监狱,by bus/train/plane等。

2. 表示职位或头衔的可数名词在作表语、补语、同位语,以及介词as后,通常不用冠词,如president,monitor, headmaster, mayor等。

3. 表示季节、月份、星期和含Day的节假日等名词前不用冠词,但我国的阴历节前加the。如Childrens Day,Teachers (Teachers ) Day,the Spring Festival。

4. 泛指的三餐、学科名称,运动项目名词前,一般不用冠词,但在play后的乐器名词前加the(中国传统乐器名词使用拼音,不用冠词)。

5. Man表示“人类”时,与human, mankind相同,不用冠词,但可用复数。

6. 表示世界上独一无二的名词前加the,如in the world。但有形容词修饰,表示“一个……(样的)……”时,用不定冠词,如a better world(一个更加美好的世界)。

7. 以地名、人名开头的专有名词前不加冠词,但由普通名词构成的专有名词前加the。如:Wuhan University, the University of Wuhan

8. the加在某些形容词前,表示某一类人。如:the rich/ poor/ old/ wounded/ living/ dead等。

9. 注意一些固定搭配:in public(比较:make a speech to the public),in surprise/ wonder/ danger/ tears/ comfort, in love with, under pressure, beyond expression等。

二、名詞

学习名词首先务必确定一个核心:该名词是可数还是不可数。该问题涉及冠词的使用,名词单复数问题,主谓一致问题,构词法问题等。

对名词的考查主要在语法填空、短文改错两大题型中。每年考查最多的主要是名词单复数问题以及词性转换,如名词变形容词、名词变动词等。

名词的备考要点

1. 名词的单复数

注意特殊情况:

(1)单复数同形:deer(鹿),fish(鱼),sheep(绵羊),means(方法),series(系列),species(物种),crossroads(十字路口),aircraft(飞机),headquaters(司令部),works(作品)等。

(2)集合名词:people, police, cattle, poultry(家禽)等作主语,谓语动词总是用复数。有的集合名词作主语,谓语动词单复数均可。如audience,government等。有的则是根据词义决定。如:He has a large family. 他有一个大家庭。

The whole family are all music fans. 全家人都是音乐爱好者。

(3)复合名词变复数时,一般是复合结构中的中心名词使用复数,如:passers-by(过路人),lookers-on(旁观者),runners-up(亚军),mothers-in-law(岳母)。没有中心名词的,在词尾加s,如:grown-ups(成年人),forget-me-nots(勿忘我),go-betweens(媒人,中间人)

(4)特殊复数构成:analysis→analyses(分析),basis→bases(基础),crisis→crises(危机),bacterium→bacteria(细菌),medium→media(媒体),phenomenon→phenomena(现象),criterion→criteria(标准)等。

(5)抽象名词具体化:success(成功的人/事),failure(失败的人/事),surprise(令人吃惊的人/事),pleasure(令人快乐的事),honour(光荣的事),must(必须做的事),difficulty(难点、难题),wonder(奇迹),danger(危险的人/事)等,前面可以加不定冠词,也可使用复数形式。

还有一些抽象名词前可加上不定冠词,表示“一种/个……”,少数中心名词可用复数形式。如:a need(必须做的事),a discovery(发现),a love(一种爱),a good time(一段愉快的时光),a collection of(一次……的收集),a knowledge of(对……的理解),a history of(一段……的历史),an understanding of(对……的理解)等。

2. 名词构词法

主要涉及名词变做其他形式的名词,名词变形容词,以及名词与动词的相互转换等。

(1)名词变做其他名词

3. 所有格

所有格的问题涉及不多,复习备考过程中主要注意名词所有格的构成形式。

过关练习
