英语常见名词考点透析直接总结
一、单、复数名词的正确使用
[例] They have all sorts of course.
[析] 英语中,名词有单数、复数或不可数的形式。本题中的course是可数名词,意指“课程”,故应用复数形式courses。
二、仅以复数形式出现的名词
[例] Happy birthday, Peter, and many happy return of the day! (2000安徽春考·改错)
[析] Many happy returns of the day! 是一句固定的生日祝语,相当于汉语的“祝你年年有今日,岁岁有今朝!”returns 在此处便是约定俗成的用法。
除这一结构外,像shake hands with (= shake sb’s hand), make friends with和change seats / trains / buses等常用的结构,及thanks, cheers, congratulations, things(情况), affairs, feelings, as follows(如下), in tears, in ruins, in pieces, in chains(被囚禁), in high spirits, in one’s teens / twenties, in the 1990’s (或in the 1990s), into halves, good manners, give one’s regards / best wishes to, make contributions to, make preparations for等,也都是常用或只用复数的名词式。
三、纯粹不可数名词的使用
[例] I’m glad you have made such a great progress that...
[析] 在英语中,有些名词, 如advice(建议), news, information, fun, weather, progress, homework, housework等,无论在什么情况下都是不可数的,所以这些词没有复数形式,也不可把其与不定冠词连用。可见,such a great progress 使用有误(须改为such great progress)。再例: She was doing her homeworks one Sunday morning when she smelt something burning. 由于homework为不可数名词,所以,作业再多,也无复数。

四、转义名词的考查热点
[例] When you finish reading the book, you will have ______ better understanding of ______ life
A. a; the B. the; a C. 不填; the D. a; 不填
[析] 本题旨在考查考生对understanding和life这两个名词可数性的界定:understanding已为转义用法,life在此泛指“人生”,是不可数名词,故而便可正确选用冠词。
转义名词主要分为两类:①把抽象意义转化为具体意义,因而赋予其可数功能;②把具体意义的名词抽象化,从而赋予其不可数性。
转义名词一直是高考测试的热点。其考查主要出现在单项和短文改错题中。其常考热点如下:
(1)抽象转具体: pleasure, surprise, help, success, failure, danger, difficulty, wonder等意为“...的人 / 物”。如: The meeting is a success.
(2)抽象转具体: worry, honor, disaster, rain, snow, fog, wind, gas, fire, crop, coffee, tea, food等,指“一种”、“一场”及“多种”、“多场”时,有其单、复数形式。如:There have been strong winds over the last two months.
(3)抽象转具体: a need, a discovery, a love, a good time, a collection of, a knowledge of, a history of, a population of, an area of, an understanding of等已形成固定形式。如: He has a good practical knowledge of computer science
(4)具体转抽象: school, college, hospital, court, prison, bed, table, church等,都是可数名词,可以有具体的意义,如a school, three schools。再例如:
When you come here for your holiday next time, don't go to _____ hotel; I can find you _____ bed in my flat.
A. the; a B. the; 不填 C. a; the D. a; 不填
但是,在不用冠词、不用复数,而只突出与之有关的活动时,它们便失去了具体意义。如: go to school, at table等。 再例如:
When he left ______ college, he got a job as ______ reporter in a newspaper office.
A. 不填; a B. 不填; the C. a; the D. the; the
(5)具体转抽象: day, night, morning, noon, evening, night等用指天色时,表达抽象概念(注意其前不用冠词)。如: Day may break now, for the birds are singing outside.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何停止消极的自我对话。
1.D [空前一句是说如果你的答案是肯定的,那么你所经历的就是消极的自我对话。空后是说你对自己说一些不真实的情况,由此可推知,D项“它始于你的大脑”衔接上下文,符合语境。]
2.E [根据文章结构和空处所处位置可知,空处为本段的小标题。本段内容都是在描述一个人好的心态的表现,故E项“改变你的心态”最能概括本段内容。]
3.G [根据空前一句“然而,如果你结交了正确的人,他们会让你振作起来,激励你,让你感觉更好”可知,G项“你会开始逐渐地相信他们告诉你的美好的事情”衔接上文,符合语境。]
4.A [空前一句是说看着镜子中的自己对自己说“我太棒了”,空后是说你很快就会相信你很棒,由此可知A项符合语境。]
5.B [空后表示“但如果你决心在任何情况下都积极思考,这将给你的生活带来积极的改变”。其中but为表转折意义的提示词,故B项“改变并不容易”符合语境,衔接下文。]
