第七讲 名词和数词
一、 改正下列句子中的唯一错误：
1 . Today , a group of 30 American student volunteer came to visit our school . 【答案】volunteer改为volunteers
【解析】volunteer是可数名词，且被数词30修饰，故用复数形式。
2 . Chinese character are very beautiful and rich in culture . As for me , when reading a neatly written article, I will feel pleased and relaxed.
【答案】character改为characters
【解析】句意：汉字非常美，文化内涵也很丰富。至于我，在阅读一篇书写工整的文章时，我会感到高兴和放松。根据are可知，此处指多个汉字，故应用复数形式。
3.The woman chose one of the most expensive dress and handed it to a shop assistant. 【答案】dress改为dresses
【解析】句意：那位女士从最昂贵的连衣裙中挑选出一件并把它递给一名店员。此处存在\of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”结构，故dress应用复数形式。
4. In the museum, we saw the latest progresses in science and technology. 【答案】progresses改为progress
【解析】句意：在博物馆里，我们看到了科技方面的最新进步。progress是不可数名词，故没有复数形式。 5 . I taught them English and after class , we played games happily . We had a lot of funs together. 【答案】funs改为fun
【解析】fun是不可数名词，故没有复数形式。
6. The professor began the class with an amusing English story, which attracted our attentions at once. 【答案】attentions改为attention
【解析】句意：教授以一个有趣的英语故事开始了这节课，这立刻吸引了我们的注意力。attract one's attention\吸引某人的注意力\是固定短语，其中的attention为不可数名词。
考虑小结 不可数名词包括抽象名词和物质名词，常考的不可数名词有：advice,air, behavior, bread, butter, dust, equipment, fun, furniture, housework, honesty,information,knowledge,luggage,music,news,progress,weather等。不可数名词的量可借助短语来表示：four pieces of bread,a piece of news,a sheet of paper。
7. Having passed the final exams, I am busy planning a two-weeks trip to the US during this winter holiday. 【答案】two-weeks改为two-week
【解析】在\数词+-+名词”结构中，名词常用单数形式。
8.I will be fully occupied in preparing for an importance lecture coming the day after tomorrow. 【答案】importance改为important
【解析】句意：我将忙着准备后天的一个重要的演讲。根据该句中的名词lecture可知，应用形容词修饰lecture,表示”重要的演讲”。该题容易被考生误以为是”名词修饰名词”的情况。 9. One out of three passengers cars sold in Japan is a minicar. 【答案】passengers改为passenger
【解析】句意：在日本销售的客车中三分之一是微型客车。此处考查名词作定语，应用单数形式。 考点小结 名词作定语 名词可以用作定语修饰后面的名词，表示类别、处所、材料、时间、功能、用途等，名词作定语时通常要用单数形式。如：a shoe shop(鞋店）,street lamps(路灯）,a bool case(书柜）等。注意特殊情况：①man和woman作定语时，它所用的数必须与后面的名词保持一致。如：three men drivers(三个男司机）,five women nurses(五个女护士）等。②名词本身就是复数形式时，仍用复数形式作定语。如：arms control(武器控制）a sports meeting(运动会）,clothes shops(服装店）,a goods train(货车）等。 10.Firstly,these countries have highly diversified groups of residents from different cultural background. 【答案】background改为backgrounds
【解析】句意：首先，这些国家有来自不同文化背景的高度多元化的居民群体。background作\出身背景\讲时为可数名词，由句中的\知，此处指“不同的文化背景”，故用复数形式。
11.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is an important part of Chinese culture. Many great success have been made in many areas through TCM cures . 【答案】success改为successes
【解析】 句意：中医是中国文化的重要组成部分。中医疗法在许多领域已经取得了巨大的成功。success在此处为抽象名词具体化，表示成功的事物，可数名词。根据success前的Many和success后的have可知，此处应用success的复数形式。
12. Holding an empty box in his hand, he askers-by for money. I had no changes on me. 【答案】changes改为change
【解析】change作\零钱\讲时为不可数名词，没有复数形式，考生容易因为不知道change的这个用法而找不出该题的错误。change表示”改变，变化”时既可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词。考生做此类题时应当根据具体的语境判断单词的意思。
13. My son, life is like a battlefield. You have to lose many time to win the final victory.
【答案】time改为times
【解析】句意：孩子，生活就像战场。你要失败多次才能赢得最后的胜利。根据语境可知，此处表示许多次，time在此处作“次，回”讲，为可数名词，再由many可知，此处应用复数形式。考生容易误将time当作”时间”，从而找不出错误。考生应当根据具体的语境判断该词的意思。
14. Mr. Li is my head teacher. He is now in his thirty and has been teaching for almost ten years. 【答案】thirty改为thirties
【解析】表示\在某人几十多岁时\用\基数词的复数形式\。
15. In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was.
【答案】eighteen改为eighteenth;
【解析】 first前加the/my表示第十八个生日用序数词；序数词first前加定冠词the或形容词性物主代词，表示（我的）第一天。
16. She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and tea. Due to her hard work, she always came one in the examination. 【答案】one改为first
【解析】固定搭配come first表示”获得第一名”。
17. Foreign investment creates significant economic benefits, including million of well-paid jobs, for Americans here at home.
【答案】million改为millions
【解析】表示数字的一些词，如dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million, billion与具体数字以及several连用时，不用复数形式，但是与of连用表示不确定的数量时，则用复数形式，如 hundreds of, thousands of, millions of, billions of等。
18.Though he was willing to wait with patient until his mom was back on June 15th, the store's staff decided to do something extremely thoughtful after they noticed Leon's note. 【答案】patient改为patience
【解析】句意：尽管他愿意耐心等待，直到6月15日他的母亲回来，但当这家店的员工看到利昂的便条后，他们决定做一些非常体贴的事情。with patience意为”耐心地”，是固定短语。
19. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt that they were in safe. 【答案】safe改为safety或将in删去
