2007年12月英語六級(jí)短文改錯(cuò)(七)

字號(hào):

本期重點(diǎn):名詞
    名詞方面主要考查的是名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式(例1、4)。此時(shí)要注意的是一些詞加s后意思就有可能改變,例如:paper(紙)papers(試卷)、safe(安全的)safes(保險(xiǎn)箱)、glass(玻璃)glasses(眼鏡)、wood(木材)woods(樹林)、work(工作)works(作品)等。還有一些特殊的復(fù)合名詞也要注意,例如father-in-law 改成復(fù)數(shù)形式是fathers-in-law。
    考點(diǎn)解析:
    例1:Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2__________
    minorities, the paper has put into place policies.
    解析:在表達(dá)“百分之幾”時(shí),只需用基數(shù)詞加上單數(shù)percent即可。
    例2:In addition, the paper instituted a content
    audit (審查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of
    representation of woman and people of color in photographs S7._________
    解析:不定冠詞a(n)或定冠詞the加上單數(shù)個(gè)體名詞可以指一類攣錚舨揮霉詿?,韵狖词须为冈~?。此处woman與people并列作為of 的賓語,由于people是集體名詞,單數(shù)形式表復(fù)數(shù)意義,從平衡角度出發(fā),應(yīng)該將woman改為women。
    例3:Words came that the missing boy had been found. 1.__________
    解析:word為當(dāng)可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意思為“(某人所說的)話”,當(dāng)其為不可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意思為“消息”。根據(jù)句意,本題中word應(yīng)改為“消息”的意思,所以應(yīng)該把Words改為Word。
    例4:They spent over a million year evolving as co-operative hunters. S5.__________
    解析:year是可數(shù)名詞,而且前面又有a million 修飾,所以要用復(fù)數(shù)。
