◆典型陷阱題分析◆
1. I found her sitting in the corner, reading _____ newspaper, with _____ in her eyes.
A. a, tear B. a piece of, tears C. a, tears D. a piece of, tear
「陷阱」誤選D,許多學(xué)生錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為,既然news(消息)和 paper(紙)均為不可數(shù)名詞,那么newspaper(報(bào)紙)也應(yīng)是不可數(shù)的;同時(shí)認(rèn)為“眼淚”即“淚水”,“水”不可數(shù),“淚水”和“眼淚”也應(yīng)該不可數(shù)。
「分析」答案為C.newspaper和 tear均為可數(shù)名詞,它們不僅可以連用不定冠詞、可以用復(fù)數(shù),而且還可以連用數(shù)詞。
Her eyes filled with tears. 她熱淚盈眶。
She dried her tears with a handkerchief. 她用手帕擦干了眼淚。
The newspapers were full of lies. 報(bào)紙上一片謊言。
A newspaper is a publication. 報(bào)紙是一種出版物。
順便說一句,若不是將 newspaper 當(dāng)作是供閱讀或傳遞信息的一種東西,而只是把它當(dāng)成一種“紙”來看待,也可用作不可數(shù)名詞,如:Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用張報(bào)紙包起來。
2. Her father works as a ______ in a hotel and her mother a ______ in a private company.
A. cooker, typewriter B. cook, typist C. cooker, typist D. cook, typewriter
「陷阱」誤選A,許多同學(xué)想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為:cook 用作動(dòng)詞,表示“煮飯”,所以 cooker 應(yīng)是其相應(yīng)的名詞,表示“煮飯的人”,即“廚師”;type 用作動(dòng)詞,表示“打字”,所以 typewriter 應(yīng)表示“打字員”。
「分析」而事實(shí)是:cook=廚師,cooker=炊具;typist=打字員,typewriter=打字機(jī)。即此題正確答案為B.
