专项练习
冠词、名词、代词和数词
在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
1. The police gained a great deal of useful ______(inform)about the organization.
information
句意:警方得到了大量与该组织相关的有用信息。
根据空前a great deal of useful判断空格处应填入名词。a great deal of修饰不可数名词。inform为动词,意为“通知;使活跃,使充满”,其名词形式为information,为不可数名词。
2. The railway station is at a ______(distant)of two miles from our school.
句意:火车站离我们学校两英里路程。
根据空前的冠词判断此处需要名词,括号中给出的distant为形容词,意为“遥远的”,其名词形式为distance,意为“距离”。
distance
【拓展】一些以-t 结尾的形容词转化为名词时,应把-t 改为-ce。
此类名词往往是不可数名词。
例如:different—difference,
silent—silence,
confident—confidence,
important—importance,
absent—absence,
brilliant—brilliance,
intelligent—intelligence等。
3. In many ways, the education system in the US is not very different from ______ in the UK.
句意:在很多方面,美国的教育体制和英国的教育体制没有多大区别。
that指代the education system。代词that可用来代替前面提到的单数名词或不可数名词,但这一名词在第一次出现时须有后置定语,以区别于第二次所指之物,当前面提到的是复数名词,则后面要用those代替。
that
4. It is not rare in the1980s that people in their ______(fifty)are going to university for further education.
句意:在20世纪80年代,50多岁的人上大学深造并不罕见。
此处为“in one’s fifties”的结构,意为“在某人50多岁的时候”。
fifties
5. It took thousands of people many years ______(build)the Great Wall
句意:数以千计的人用了很多年时间修建了长城。
此处为It takes sb. some time to do sth.的句型,其中it为形式主语,后面的动词不定式为真实主语。
to build
单项选择
1. Many people in the west make ______ a rule to buy Chinese
presents for their relatives and friends.
A. this
B. it
C. that
D. them
B
解析:B 考查代词。
句意:许多西方人把给亲戚朋友买中国礼物当成了一个惯例。
此处it作形式宾语,真实宾语为后面的动词不定式,其中a rule是名词充当宾语补足语。
2. ______ of the land in that district ______ covered with trees and grass.
A. two fifth; is
B. Two fifth; are
C. Two fifths; is
D. Two fifths; are
C
解析:C 考查分数表达和主谓一致。
句意:那个区五分之二的地方覆盖着树木和草。
分子大于1时,分母需用复数;“分数+of+名词”充当主语时,谓语单复数取决于of后面的名词的单复数。
3. —Bring me ______, please.
—How would you like it, black or white?
A. coffee
B. a coffee
C. the coffee
D. coffees
B
解析: B 考查名词。
句意:——请给我一杯咖啡。
——你是喜欢原味咖啡还是加奶的?
coffee一般是不可数的,需要借助相应量词,
例如:a cup of coffee,但在口语中,也可直接用coffee表示“一杯咖啡”,此时为可数名词。
4. I know you do
