典型例句(含正误对比)
一、基数词
1. 定义
表示数量的数词,用于描述人、事物的具体数目
There are fifty students in our class.(我们班有 50 名学生。)
2. 拼写规则
① 1-12:特殊拼写(one→twelve)
② 13-19:词尾加 -teen(thirteen→nineteen,注意 fifteen/eighteen 拼写)
③ 20-90 整十:词尾加 -ty(twenty→ninety,注意 forty 不可写为 fourty)
④ 21-99 非整十:十位与个位间加连字符(twenty-one→thirty-five)
⑤ 三位数及以上:百位与十位 / 个位间加 and(one hundred and eight→two hundred and twenty-five)
⑥ 单位用法:hundred/thousand/million/billion 前有具体数时不加 s(two thousand,不可写为 two thousands);表泛指时加 s 且接 of(thousands of 成千上万的)
① 21:twenty-one(正确)、twenty one(错误)
② 108:one hundred and eight(正确)、one hundred eight(错误)
③ 2000:two thousand(正确)、two thousands(错误)
④ 成千上万:thousands of people(正确)、thousand of people(错误)
3. 大数读法
从右往左每三位分一组,依次读 million(百万)、thousand(千)、hundred(百),组内遵循三位数读法
6,325,047:six million, three hundred and twenty-five thousand and forty-seven(正确)
642,500:six hundred and forty-two thousand five hundred(正确)
二、序数词
1. 定义

3. 核心用法
① 表顺序:前面一般加 the(形容词性物主代词 / 名词所有格修饰时除外)
② 表分数:分子用基数词,分母用序数词(分子>1 时分母加 s),四分之一可译为 one fourth 或 a quarter
③ 表日期 / 页码:Page Ten(第十页)、on the fifth of May(5 月 5 日)
① 物主代词修饰:his fortieth birthday(他的四十岁生日,无需加 the)
② 分数:two thirds(三分之二)、one quarter(四分之一)
③ 页码:Turn to Page Twelve.(翻到第十二页。)
三、核心区别与易错点
1. 用法差异
基数词表 “数量”,序数词表 “顺序”
① 基数词:I have three books.(我有三本书。/ 表数量)
② 序数词:This is my third book.(这是我的第三本书。/ 表顺序)
2. 序数词 the 的省略
前面有形容词性物主代词(my/his/her)、名词所有格(Tom’s)时,不加 the
① 正确:her twelfth birthday(她的十二岁生日)
② 错误:her the twelfth birthday
3. 分数主谓一致
谓语动词由分数后的名词决定(可数名词复数→复数,不可数名词→单数)
① Two thirds of the land is covered with water.(三分之二的土地被水覆盖。/ 不可数名词→单数)
② Three fourths of the students are girls.(四分之三的学生是女生。/ 可数名词复数→复数)
4. 年龄表达
基数词 + years old(表年龄),序数词 + birthday(表第几个生日)
① 四十岁:forty years old(正确)、fortieth years old(错误)
② 四十岁生日:fortieth birthday(正确)、forty birthday(错误)
使用注意事项
1. 基数词连字符:21-99 非整十数必须加连字符,否则易混淆(如 thirty-five 避免误读为 thirty 和 five)。
2. 序数词拼写:注意 fifth、eighth、twelfth、fortieth 等特殊拼写,避免多写 / 漏写字母。
3. 大数单位:hundred/thousand 等前有具体数字时不加 s,表泛指时必须加 s 且接 of(如 three hundred people 而非 three hundreds people)。
4. 分数表达:分子大于 1 时,分母序数词必须加 s(如 two fifths 而非 two fifth)。

三、阅读理解
A
Zhu Yuanzhang’s portrait (肖像) has made the news. In history textbooks, a kingly image has taken the place of the “shoehorn-faced (鞋拔子脸的)” one most people are familiar with. The topic started to trend a few days ago, though the change has been happening for years. Some say on the internet that it has refreshed their childhood memories.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming dynasty. Born into a poor family of farmers, he lost his parents at an early age. With no other choice, he became a monk (僧侣) and lived a hard life for years. At 25, he joined the army, and from there he worked his way up to founding (建立) his dynasty. He was emperor for thirty years and brought great change to China.
What on earth did Zhu Yuanzhang look like? No one actually knows. Experts say different portraits of him have been passed down. They can be divided into two types: the handsome type and the unusual one. People can only take a guess at the reason for the difference.
Even so, experts believe the kingly portraits are far more trustworthy (可信的) than the “shoehorn-faced” ones. They follow the rules of early-Ming portraits, and the looks share features of Zhu Yuanzhang’s children and grandchildren. Perhaps it’s time we give his image due recognition (应有的认可).
1. What has changed about Zhu Yuanzhang’s image in history textbooks?
A.A “shoehorn-faced” image took the place of a kingly one.
B.A kingly image took the place of a “shoehorn-faced” one.
C.His image became more famous on the internet.
D.His image was taken out of textbooks.
2. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang become a monk when he was young?
A.Because he liked being a monk.
B.Because his parents wanted him to be a monk.
C.Because he had no other choice after losing his parents.
D.Because he wanted to live a hard life.
3. What does the phrase “passed down” probably mean in Chinese?
A.拿走 B.传承 C.消失 D.创造
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A.Everyone knows what Zhu Yuanzhang really looked like.
B.Zhu Yuanzhang lived a rich life when he was young.
C.The kingly portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang share features of his family.
D.The change of Zhu Yuanzhang’s image just happened a few days ago.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. C
【导语】本文介绍了朱元璋的生平经历,以及不同版本肖像的传承与可信度分析。
1. 细节理解题。根据“In history textbooks, a kingly image has taken the place of the ‘shoehorn-faced (鞋拔子脸的)’ one most people are familiar with.”可知,历史课本中,王者形象取代了多数人熟悉的“鞋拔子脸”形象。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据“he lost his parents at an early age. With no other choice, he became a monk (僧侣) and lived a hard life for years”可知,朱元璋早年失去父母后别无选择,因此成为了僧侣。故选C。
3. 词句猜测题。根据“different portraits of him have been passed down”以及“They can be divided into two types: the handsome type and the unusual one.”可知,是朱元璋的不同肖像被“传承”下来,“passed down”对应中文“传承”。故选B。
4. 细节理解题。根据“the looks share features of Zhu Yuanzhang’s children and grandchildren”可知,王者形象的肖像与他的子孙有共同特征,故C项正确。故选C。
B
April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It is on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play tricks (把戏) and jokes on each other.
One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England said that there would be no more spaghetti because the farmers in Italy had stopped growing it. Many people ran to supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people knew that the story was a trick, all of the spaghetti all over the country had been sold out. In another trick a TV show in England reported there was special water. They said this water would help people lose weight (减肥). By the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had called the TV station to find out how to get this water.
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry (嫁) him. The lady was happy. However, when she said yes, he said, “April Fool!” ▲ . The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was stopped.
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October, not in April. In that month in 1938, actor Welles said on his radio program that aliens (外星人) from Mars had landed on the earth. He also said they were moving all over the USA. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and people all over the country felt afraid. By the time the police announced that the story was a trick, thousands of people had left their homes.

A.By asking questions. B.By giving examples.
C.By drawing pictures. D.By giving suggestions.
2. According to the passage, why did people want to get the special water?
A.Because people wanted to play the trick.
B.Because people wanted to become thinner.
C.Because the TV show asked people to buy the water.
D.Because people wanted to use the water to make spaghetti.
3. Which sentence is the most suitable to go to ▲ ?
A.That little joke didn’t matter. B.That little joke made him famous.
C.That little joke made everyone laugh. D.That little joke didn’t have a happy ending.
4. What can you infer (推断) from the passage?
A.All the tricks and jokes can make people happy.
B.April Fool’s Day has a history of hundreds of years.
C.On April 1st, people can make any joke or play any trick.
D.On April 1st, people should be more careful with tricks.

2. 细节理解题。根据“They said this water would help people lose weight (减肥). By the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had called the TV station to find out how to get this water.”可知,人们想要这种特殊的水是因为它能帮助减肥,即人们想变瘦。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据 “The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was stopped.”可知,这个玩笑导致了不好的结果,因此对应的句子应是“这个小玩笑没有一个好结局”。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。结合文中部分玩笑造成的负面后果(失去女友、节目停播等)可推断出,愚人节的玩笑并不总是让人开心,玩笑要适度谨慎,D项符合。故选D。
C
Did you feel a small cut on your finger when turning the pages of your textbook before? A study shows that some kinds of paper are more dangerous than others.
Three scientists from Denmark found that 65-micrometer-thick (65微米厚的) paper is most likely (可能的) to cut our skin. They got the Physics Prize (物理奖) for this finding at the 2024 Pineapple Science Award in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, on Nov 23.
The scientists tested (测试) paper with different thicknesses—from 30 to 220 micrometers. They did the tests on man-made fingers made from ballistic gel (弹道凝胶). This material feels a lot like our skin.
For thin paper, the scientists found it couldn’t cut the fingers—it just bent (弯曲). And for thicker paper, it leaves a mark on the fingers but it still can’t cut the skin. When they tried the 65-micrometer-thick paper, the scientists found it cut the fingers the most, about once out of five times.
With their findings, they also made a new paper knife, the Papermachete—it can cut through apples and chicken!
1. What thickness of paper is most likely to cut our fingers?
A.30 micrometers. B.65 micrometers.
C.100 micrometers. D.220 micrometers.
2. Where do the scientists do their tests?
A.On real fingers. B.On animal skin
C.On man-made fingers. D.On scientists’ skin.
3. What happens when the scientists test thin paper on the fingers?
A.It cuts the fingers. B.It bends.
C.It leaves marks. D.It cuts the skin.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The use of ballistic gel in scientific study.
B.The scientists in Denmark make a new paper knife.
C.The importance of choosing the right paper thickness for textbooks.
D.The finding is about which paper thickness is most likely to cut our skin.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. D
【导语】本文主要介绍了一项由丹麦科学家进行的关于纸张切割手指的有趣研究。科学家们通过实验发现,厚度为65微米的纸张最容易划破皮肤,并因此获得了2024年菠萝科学奖物理奖。
1. 细节理解题。根据“Three scientists from Denmark find that 65-micrometer-thick (65微米厚的) paper is most likely (可能的) to cut our skin.”可知,65微米厚的纸最有可能割伤我们的手指。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据“They do the tests on man-made fingers made from ballistic gel (弹道凝胶).”可知,科学家们是在人造手指上进行测试的。故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据“For thin paper, the scientists find it can’t cut the fingers—it just bends (弯曲).”可知,当测试薄纸时,它仅仅是弯曲了,并没有割伤手指。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。根据“They get the Physics Prize (物理奖) for this finding…on Nov 23.”以及全文内容可知,文章主要报道了科学家们的一项发现:关于哪种厚度的纸最容易割伤我们的皮肤。故选D。

三、阅读理解
A
Zhu Yuanzhang’s portrait (肖像) has made the news. In history textbooks, a kingly image has taken the place of the “shoehorn-faced (鞋拔子脸的)” one most people are familiar with. The topic started to trend a few days ago, though the change has been happening for years. Some say on the internet that it has refreshed their childhood memories.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming dynasty. Born into a poor family of farmers, he lost his parents at an early age. With no other choice, he became a monk (僧侣) and lived a hard life for years. At 25, he joined the army, and from there he worked his way up to founding (建立) his dynasty. He was emperor for thirty years and brought great change to China.
What on earth did Zhu Yuanzhang look like? No one actually knows. Experts say different portraits of him have been passed down. They can be divided into two types: the handsome type and the unusual one. People can only take a guess at the reason for the difference.
Even so, experts believe the kingly portraits are far more trustworthy (可信的) than the “shoehorn-faced” ones. They follow the rules of early-Ming portraits, and the looks share features of Zhu Yuanzhang’s children and grandchildren. Perhaps it’s time we give his image due recognition (应有的认可).

A.A “shoehorn-faced” image took the place of a kingly one.
B.A kingly image took the place of a “shoehorn-faced” one.
C.His image became more famous on the internet.
D.His image was taken out of textbooks.
2. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang become a monk when he was young?
A.Because he liked being a monk.
B.Because his parents wanted him to be a monk.
C.Because he had no other choice after losing his parents.
D.Because he wanted to live a hard life.
3. What does the phrase “passed down” probably mean in Chinese?
A.拿走 B.传承 C.消失 D.创造
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A.Everyone knows what Zhu Yuanzhang really looked like.
B.Zhu Yuanzhang lived a rich life when he was young.
C.The kingly portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang share features of his family.
D.The change of Zhu Yuanzhang’s image just happened a few days ago.

April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It is on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play tricks (把戏) and jokes on each other.
One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England said that there would be no more spaghetti because the farmers in Italy had stopped growing it. Many people ran to supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people knew that the story was a trick, all of the spaghetti all over the country had been sold out. In another trick a TV show in England reported there was special water. They said this water would help people lose weight (减肥). By the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had called the TV station to find out how to get this water.
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry (嫁) him. The lady was happy. However, when she said yes, he said, “April Fool!” ▲ . The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was stopped.
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October, not in April. In that month in 1938, actor Welles said on his radio program that aliens (外星人) from Mars had landed on the earth. He also said they were moving all over the USA. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and people all over the country felt afraid. By the time the police announced that the story was a trick, thousands of people had left their homes.

C.By drawing pictures. D.By giving suggestions.
2. According to the passage, why did people want to get the special water?
A.Because people wanted to play the trick.
B.Because people wanted to become thinner.
C.Because the TV show asked people to buy the water.
D.Because people wanted to use the water to make spaghetti.
3. Which sentence is the most suitable to go to ▲ ?
A.That little joke didn’t matter. B.That little joke made him famous.
C.That little joke made everyone laugh. D.That little joke didn’t have a happy ending.
4. What can you infer (推断) from the passage?
A.All the tricks and jokes can make people happy.

C.On April 1st, people can make any joke or play any trick.
D.On April 1st, people should be more careful with tricks.

Did you feel a small cut on your finger when turning the pages of your textbook before? A study shows that some kinds of paper are more dangerous than others.
Three scientists from Denmark found that 65-micrometer-thick (65微米厚的) paper is most likely (可能的) to cut our skin. They got the Physics Prize (物理奖) for this finding at the 2024 Pineapple Science Award in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, on Nov 23.
The scientists tested (测试) paper with different thicknesses—from 30 to 220 micrometers. They did the tests on man-made fingers made from ballistic gel (弹道凝胶). This material feels a lot like our skin.
For thin paper, the scientists found it couldn’t cut the fingers—it just bent (弯曲). And for thicker paper, it leaves a mark on the fingers but it still can’t cut the skin. When they tried the 65-micrometer-thick paper, the scientists found it cut the fingers the most, about once out of five times.
With their findings, they also made a new paper knife, the Papermachete—it can cut through apples and chicken!
1. What thickness of paper is most likely to cut our fingers?
A.30 micrometers. B.65 micrometers.
C.100 micrometers. D.220 micrometers.
2. Where do the scientists do their tests?
A.On real fingers. B.On animal skin
C.On man-made fingers. D.On scientists’ skin.
3. What happens when the scientists test thin paper on the fingers?
A.It cuts the fingers. B.It bends.
C.It leaves marks. D.It cuts the skin.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The use of ballistic gel in scientific study.
B.The scientists in Denmark make a new paper knife.
C.The importance of choosing the right paper thickness for textbooks.
D.The finding is about which paper thickness is most likely to cut our skin.
