高考英语必考点：考点妙解名词

高考英语必考点：考点妙解名词 典型例题 纵观近几年全国、上海、北京等地的高考试题，对名词的考查往往涉及名词作定语(如：He dropped the coffee cup and broke it.)，抽象名词具体化(如：WhataPleasantsurprisehegaveus!)，区分可数名词和不可数名词，根据句意选择适当的名词，某个名词在不同场合下的具体意义和一些名词构成的固定搭配。 一般来说名词主要考查： 1．可数名词复数构成的规则及不规则变化。 2．可数名词和不可数名词的判断与用法——对比。 3．名词的所有格，包括’s所有格，…of…所有格和双重所有格的用法。 4．名词作定语和名词构成的习语及用法等。 5．名词的词义辨析。 应试同分瓶颈 纵观历年来高考对名词的考查，主要体现为一个“活”字。因此要求考生平时加强关于名词基础知识的学习，如：名词的数、名词的所有格、主谓一致及一些有关名词的固定搭配。通过对比、归纳、总结等方法，记忆、理解部分知识，并将名词常考知识点梳理清楚。另外在做题时灵活使用所学的基础知识，把握重点、难点，认真审题，依据具体的语境进行分析判断。 近几年的高考题对名词的考查一般集中在名词的辨析上。所以在学习中要注意名词在特定语境中的正确使用和细微差别，另外还要注意名词和动词的搭配用法。抽象名词的具体化也应该引起重视。surprise不可数表示“惊奇”，可数为“令人惊奇的事情”；shame不可数为“羞愧”，可数为“令人羞愧的事”，除此之外还有：honour，failure，success，pleasure，pity等。 ◎命题点1 名词的数 ◎命题点2 名词的所有格及名词作定语 命题点1 名词的数 本类考题解答锦囊 名词有数的区分。在英语中名词分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单复数形式，不可数名词没有复数形式。有些名词既可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词，但所表达的意义不同。我们在应试时要考虑以下几点：

高三英语高考英语时态考点归纳与分析

高考英语时态考点归纳与分析 一、现在完成时考点 现在完成时主要有两种用法，即持续性用法(或叫未完成用法)和影响性用法(或叫已完成用法)。持续性用法表示动作发生于过去，但在过去并未完成，而是从过去一直持续到现在，此时多半会连用表示持续性的时间状语；后者指的是动作发生于过去，且在过去已经完成，但这个过去发生的动作对现在有影响，而说话者正好要强调的就是这个影响，此时一般没有明显的时间状语，主要通过上下文来理解。如： 1.Years ago we didn’t know this, but recent scie nce _________ that people who don’t sleep well soon get ill. (广东卷) A. showed B. has shown C. will show D. is showing 【分析】答案选 B。由表示对照的Years ago和recent可知，“以前不知”，但“现在已经证明了”，所以用现在完成时。 2.He was hoping to go abroad but his parents _________ that they won’t su pport him unless he can borrow money from the bank. (湖北卷) A. were deciding B. have decided C. decided D. will decide 【分析】答案选B。因宾语从句中的时态是一般将来时，主句中的谓语动词不可能是过去时态，排除选项A和C；由语境判断，不是“将要决定”，而是“现在已经决定”，所以排除D，而选B。 另外，同学们还要特别注意以下这些习惯上要与现在完成时连用的短语和句型：so fa r(到目前为止)，since(自从)，in [for, during] the past [last]…years(在过去…年中)，by now (到现在为止)，up to [until] now (到现在为止)，It's [will be] the fi rst time that…(第一次……)等。如： 3. My brother is an actor. He _________in several film so far. (浙江卷) A. A. appears B. appeared C. has appeared D. is appearing 【分析】答案选 C。so far(到目前为止)通常与现在完成时连用。 4. The country life he was used to _________ greatly since 1992. (山东卷) A. change B. has changed C. changing D. have changed 【分析】答案选 B。since 1992这类时间状语通常与现在完成时连用。主句主语是th e country life，句中he was used to是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。 二、过去完成时考点
