高考一窥:

说起count这一单词,大家一定不陌生。没错,2015年江苏高考英语第29题,即出现了对它的短语考查。题目是这样的:

29. The whole team____Cristiano Ronaldo, and he seldom lets them down.

A.wait on

B.focus on

C.count on

D.call on

本题考查了考生对常见动词加介词on的短语在语境中的准确把握。语境理解的要求不算高。足球比赛是同学们身边再熟悉不过的话题。只要同学们对足球有一定的了解,能明白句中let sb.down的含义为“使……失望”,那么就应该能够看出题干大意是:足球先生C罗是值得全队依赖的。count on指望;依靠。

用法回归一:让我们回顾一下count作为动词的常见用法

1.数数,点数。举两个例子说明:

(1) 一则幽默

Count Tomorrow Morning

Its a night. John is looking at the sky.

Tom is Johns younger brother. He asks John, “What are you doing?”

John says,“Im counting stars.“

Tom laughs and says,“Its really darknow. Why not count them tomorrow morning?”

(2) 一则谚语

Dont count your chickens before they are hatched.

字面意思:蛋未孵出,别数小鸡。引申为:别期望得过早。

2.表示“(被)认为、(被)算作”(to consider or be considered as)。

例如:I count myself fortunate to have had such a good education.

能受到如此良好的教育,我认为自己很幸运。

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we can count this meeting a great success.

女士们先生们,我想我们有理由认为这次会议非常成功。

Ive had four jobs in the last six years, but one of them was unpaid, so it doesnt count.

过去六年里,我干过四份工作,但是有一份没有薪水,所以不算。

3.意为“有价值,有重要性;要紧”(to have value or significance; to matter)。

例如:Every minute counts.每分钟都很重要。

If you turn 18, your vote counts.如果你年滿18岁,你的选票就有效。

用法回归:count作为名词的常用含义

当count作名词时,可以有以下四种含义:

1.计算;合计数

例如:at the last count最后算下来

2.keep/lost count知道(不知道)正确数目

例如:Ive lost count of how many times Ive watched the TV program.

我都记不清这个电视节目我看过多少次了。

3.罪状

例如:The prisoner was spotted not guiltyon all counts.犯人被指控各项罪状都不能成立。

4.out for the count(拳击比赛中)被判失败;熟睡

例如:Dont try to wake Mary. She is out for the count.不要试图叫醒玛丽,她已经睡熟了。

常见搭配:

在高考中常与count搭配的表达如下:count sb.in把某人算在内;count on/upon指望、期待、依靠;count sb.as把某人视为;count for有价值、起作用;count out不把……算在内;拳击中判输;一个个数出;count up算出……的总数;count down倒读数,倒计时。

形似词辨识:

在平时的练习中经常出现拼写相像,意思迥然不同的词语。让我们把它们找出来,分辨清楚:

discount n.折扣

at a discount打折

v.打折;认为……不重要;对……不全信(打折扣)

account n.描述;报道;账户

give an account of描述;take…into account/take account of…把……考虑进去;on account of由于,因为;on no account决不

v.解释,说明;考虑

account for解释,说明,(在比例、数量上)占……

串联记忆:

Every year, some senior school students participate in the voluntary work during the summer holidays. They dont count study as the only thing. As for them, being volunteerscounts for a lot. They argue that not only can it help bring out the best in them, but it can benefit the society as well. Actually, it is what one can do for others that counts. When ever you are in trouble, they are the ones you cancount on. More and more youngsters ask to becounted in such voluntary work.

一些高中生每年在暑假期间去参加志愿者工作。他们并不认為学习是唯一的事情。对于他们来说,成为志愿者意味着很多。在他们看来,志愿者活动不仅可以帮助彰显他们内心最美好的一面,而且还可以对社会有益。事实上,一个人能为他人做什么才是重要的。每当你有困难的时候,他们就是你可以信赖的人。越来越多的年轻人要求被算在其中,参与到这样的志愿者工作中。
