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)體名詞可以指一類事物，若不用冠詞，則名詞須為復(fù)數(shù)。此處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)。

1.experiences -> experience
當(dāng)experience為可數(shù)名詞時(shí)，意思是“經(jīng)歷”，當(dāng)為不可數(shù)名詞時(shí)，意思為“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”。根據(jù)句子的意思，應(yīng)該是“教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)”。
2.woman -> women
由man、woman、lord構(gòu)成的復(fù)合名詞應(yīng)前后兩個(gè)詞都變?yōu)閺?fù)數(shù)形式。
3.phenomena -> phenomenon 或this -> these
phenomena是phenomenon 的復(fù)數(shù)形式。前面有this修飾，應(yīng)該用單數(shù)。
4.voice -> noise
voice意思是“(人的)聲音”，而noise指的是噪聲。
5.object -> objects
綜合練習(xí)
1.smoke -> smoking
smoke作名詞時(shí)意為“煙霧”，作動(dòng)詞時(shí)意為“吸煙”。此處指吸煙和肺部疾病的關(guān)系
故使用smoking。
2.and -> / 或and -> then
and是并列連詞，連接兩個(gè)對(duì)稱的分句。但此處前面是條件狀語從句，不對(duì)稱，故應(yīng)該去掉and或?qū)nd改為 then，使后面變成主句
3.with -> of
accuse sb of sth 意為“為….而控告或譴責(zé)某人”，不能使用介詞with
4.a -> /
此處顯然不是“在一家好公司”( in a good company)的意思，而是說“有人和你作伴”(in good company)。此處的company意為“陪伴”，抽象名詞，前面不用冠祠。
5.not -> /
邏輯錯(cuò)誤
6.that -> why
此處的意思是要找到“為什么官方對(duì)醫(yī)學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)應(yīng)冷淡”。
7.simple -> simply
這里的句意是“答案僅僅是錢”，故使用副詞simply。simple的意思是“簡(jiǎn)單”。
8.lonely -> alone
lonely意為“孤獨(dú)”的，alone意為“單獨(dú)，一個(gè)”，此處意為“單稅收一項(xiàng)”，故用alone
9.collect -> collects
本句的主語是the government of Britain ，是單數(shù)，所以謂語collect也要用單數(shù)。
10.harmful前加be
本句的conceivably 是插入語，如果不看它的話，就很容易看出這個(gè)句子缺少了系動(dòng)詞be
