热点专题复习系列——数词考查点分项说明(一)

(来源:人教网初中英语教师版)
   数词分为基数词和序数词两类,表示数量多少的数词是基数词,如one(一),two(二),seven(七)等,表示顺序次第的数词叫序数词,如the first(第一),the second(第二),the seventh(第七)。

在对数词进行复习的时候,同学们首先要会读会写所有基数词和序数词,以及与数词有关的时间表达法。对数词的考查,中考常采用单选题及听力题。

序数词一般由基数词加-th构成,100以内的基本的序数词如下:

序数词的构成及用法。



1. 以下几个序数词较为特殊:

first(第一)   

second(第二)   

third(第三)   

fifth(第五)

eighth(第八)   

ninth(第九)   

twelfth(第十二)



2. 以-ty结尾的基数词变为序数词的构成方法是:先将十位整数的基数词尾的-ty变成-ti,然后再加-eth,如:

twenty ---- twentieth (第二十)

eighty ---- eightieth (第八十)



3. 基数词“几十几”变成序数词时,仅将个位数变成序数词,十位不变,如:

thirty-two ---- thirty-second (第三十二)

seventy-five ---- seventy-fifth (第七十五)



4. 序数词的缩写形式,在阿拉伯数字后加上序数词的最后两个字母构成,如:

fifth ---- 5th      

second ---- 2nd



5. 序数词前通常要用定冠词the。



6. hundred, thousand, million, billion等词在构成具体的数字时用单数形式。只有在表达笼统的多数时才加-s,构成复数形式,前面不能加具体的数字,如:

three hundred seats      三百个座位

hundreds of     数以百计的,成百上千的     

thousands of     数以千计的,成千上万的

millions of     数百万的

billions of    数十亿的

3:30 three thirty

(2)倒读法((用past/to表示),如:

1:15  a quarter past one

3:30 half past three

7:56 four to eight

(3)表示钟点只用基数词,并且钟点前用介词at。



2. 日期表示法

(1)英语中日期的排列顺序是:星期、月、日、年,如:

2003年3月17日,星期一

Monday, March the 17th, 2003.

(2)在具体某一天前用介词on。



3. 世纪、年代表示法

(在)90年代   (in) the nineties

(在)19世纪   (in) the nineteenth century

(在)18世纪30年代  (in) 1730s或1730's



二、基数词常和一些计量类名词“单数”用“-”连在一起,构成复合形容词,修饰名词。



a twelve-year-old boy   

一个十二岁的男孩  

a five-mile race  

一次五英里的赛跑

湖南师范大学附属中学





掌握陈述句的构成形式及基本用法。



一、陈述句

汤姆有辆新车。

The flower isn't beautiful.

这花不美。



二、陈述句否定式的构成



1. 如果肯定陈述句的谓语部分含有助动词、情态动词或连系动词be,则只需在这些动词后加not即可构成否定式。

他正在弹吉他。(肯定)

He is not playing the guitar.

他不在弹吉他。(否定)

We can get there before dark.

天黑前我们能够到达那里。(肯定)

We can't get there before dark.

掌握祈使句的构成形式及基本用法。



祈使句是用来表示命令、请求、建议、号召等的句子,谓语动词用原形,句末用感叹号“!”或句号“.”。朗读时一般用降调。



1. 祈使句主语是you时,you常省略,但如果要特别强调对方或表达某种强烈的情绪时可以有主语或称呼语。

Be quiet.

请安静。

You be quiet!  

你给我安静点!



2. “Do+祈使句”表示一种强烈的感情或请求,do起强调作用。

Do come back at once!

务必立即返回!

Do be careful.

务必小心。



3. please用在祈使句中可以表示一种客气的语气,但please用在句末时,必须用逗号与其余部分分开。

Open the window, please.

请打开窗户。

咱们去溜冰吧,好吗?(表示内部的建议)

掌握一般疑问句的构成形式及基本用法。



一、一般疑问句的肯定形式

Do you know Mr. Smith?

你认识史密斯先生吗?

Can you swim?

你会游泳吗?



二、一般疑问句的否定结构



1. 在一般疑问句的否定结构中,把副词not放在一般疑问句的主语之后。但如果用not的简略形式-n't,则须将-n't与一般疑问句句首的be, have,助动词或情态动词写在一起。在实际运用中,一般都采用简略式。







2. 与汉语不同的是,英语一般疑问句否定结构的答语是否定还是肯定,全由答语的否定或肯定来决定。若答语是肯定的,则用yes加肯定结构;若答语是否定的,则用no加否定结构。



---- Aren't you a football fan?

你不是足球迷吗?

---- Yes, I am. / No, I am not.

是的,我是。/不,我不是。





---- Won't she like it?

她会不喜欢吗?

反意疑问句的构成形式及基本用法。



反意疑问句是指在陈述句之后附加一个意思与之相反的简短问句,问对方是否赞同的疑问句。附加问句的否定式必须缩写。

2. 如果陈述句中含有否定副词never(从不,决不),hardly(几乎不)或其他表示否定代词或形容词,如nothing, none, no one, nobody, neither, few, little等,则附加问句只能用肯定式。如:



They hardly write to each other, do they?

他什么也没有找到,是吗?

Few people knew the secret, did they?

很少有人知道这个秘密,是吗?

---- You won't be away for long, will you?

你不会离开太久,是吗?

---- Yes, I will. / No, I won't.

不,我会离开很久。/ 是的,我不会离开很久。

掌握宾语从句的语序及其时态与主句时态的呼应。



一、宾语从句的语序



宾语从句的语序一律使用陈述语序。尤其是在把两个独立的句子连成一个含有宾语从句的复合句时必须特别注意:



1. 当宾语从句原为陈述句时,用that引导,语序不变。(注意时态的一致)

Tom isn't a good student. The teacher told us...

→The teacher told us Tom wasn't a good student.

老师告诉我们汤姆不是一个好学生。

He has given up smoking. She said...

→She said he had given up smoking.

她说他已经戒烟了。



2. 当宾语从句原为一般疑问句时,用whether或if连接,语序变为陈述语序。

Is Jim a doctor? I wonder...

→I wonder whether Jim is a doctor.

我想知道吉姆是否是个医生。

Does she dance well? Can you tell me...

→Can you tell me if she dances well?

你能告诉我她舞跳的是否好吗?



3. 当宾语从句原为特殊疑问句时,特殊疑问词即为连接词,语序变为陈述语序。

She asked me where you were going.

她问我你去哪里。

She wondered what he wanted to do.

她不知道他想干什么。



二、宾语从句的时态



宾语从句的时态原则上应与主句的时态保持一致。



1. 如果主句是现在时态(包括一般现在时,现在进行时和现在完成时),宾语从句可以是实际需要的任何时态。

I am wondering whether he has come or not.

我不知道他是否已经来了。(现在完成时)

Please tell me when we'll have the meeting.

请告诉我什么时候开会。(一般将来时)

I don't know who they are talking about.

我不知道他们正在谈论谁。(现在进行时)

I have heard the window was broken by John.

我已经听说窗户是被约翰打破的。



2. 如果主句是过去的时态(包括一般过去时,过去进行时),宾语从句必须选用过去的某一时态(即一般过去时,过去将来时,过去进行时或过去完成时等)。

He said he would kill her.

他说他会杀了她。(过去将来时)

She told us Lucy had returned home.

她告诉我们露茜已经回家去了。(过去完成时)

Mary was wondering who could answer the question.

玛丽想知道谁能回答这一问题。(一般过去时)

I didn't tell them where you were having the meeting.

我没有告诉他们你们正在哪儿开会。(过去进行时)



3. 如果宾语从句表示的是科学其理、客观事实或格言警句等,则不管这句是何种时态,从句一律用一般现在时。

Granny told me that the earth moves around the sun.

奶奶告诉我地球围绕太阳转。

She said a friend in need is a friend indeed.

她说患难朋友才是真正的朋友。

了解定语从句的构成基本形式及基本用法。



1. 定语在句中是用来修饰名词或代词的,一般由形容词或与之相当的其他词类来充当。如果起修饰作用的是一个句子的时候,就叫作定语从句。但定语从句不是像形容词那样放于名词前,而是放在名词之后。它所修饰的名词又被叫作先行词。



2. 定语从句的引导词有关系代词:that, which, who, whom, whose 和关系副词when, where, why, how。



that 的先行词可以是人也可以是物。

A plane is a machine that can fly.

飞机是一种会飞的机器。

They were watching TV at that time.

他们那会正在看电视。

The dog was enjoying his meal at this time yesterday.

他们曾打算开会。



2. 过去完成时表示在过去某一时刻或动作之前已完成的行为或存在的状态。与现在完成的用法相同,只不过作为衡量基准点的时间点不同,现在完成时以现在作为衡量的基准点,而过去完成时则以过去某个时刻作为基准点。它表示在过去某一时刻或动作之前完成了的动作,即“过去的过去”,常与by, before引导的时间状语连用。如:

了解一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时三种时态的被动语态的结构形式及其基本用法 。



被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。一般说来,只有需要动作对象的及物动词才有被动语态。汉语往往用“被” “受” “给”等词来表示被动意义。被动语态由“助动词be+及物动词的过去分词(p.p.)”构成。被动语态的时态变化只改变be的形式,过去分词部分不变。疑问式和否定式的变化亦如此。



1. 一般现在时的被动语态(am/ is/ are +done)

English is spoken by lots of people in the world.

世界上的许多人都说英语。

Class meeting is held every Thursday.

每周四都举行班会。

The classroom is cleaned by the students every day.

学生们每天都打扫教室。



2. 一般过去时的被动语态(was/ were +done)

The cup was broken by the boy.

杯子被那个男孩打碎了。

He was saved at last.

他最终获救了。

My bike was stolen.

我的自行车被偷了。



3.一般将来时的被动语态(will/ shall be +done)

A speech will be given this afternoon.

今天下午有一个演讲。

A new road will be built next year.

明年要修一条新马路。

I think thousands of people will be helped.

我认为将有数千人得到帮助。

"Four pounds fifty, ’says David.

Dreams

"Dreams (梦 ) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some sci-entists say.

Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.

Sometimes we wake up with a good feel-ing from a dream. But often we can't re-member the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly from memory (记忆).

Too much dreaming can be harmful (有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

1. It may be less important to sleep than to__.

A. think    B. dream    C. work    D. study

2. Dreams and films are usually ____.

A. very long            B. in colour

A long time ago, the Chinese made kites to use in wars. They would fly these war kites in the dark. The kites were fixed (固定) so that they made strange sounds. Men who were at war with them would hear these sounds and run away. They thought those strange sounds were made by gods(神) in the sky.

The ancient Chinese also flew kites to bring good luck and to make their crops grow rich and tall. Sometimes they tied long strings (细绳) and hooks (钩) to their kites. Then they would fly the kites over water, letting the hooks hang down to catch fish.

The Chinese use sticks, strings and paper for their kites. Some of these kites look like animals or trees. Others look like birds or houses.

We are all busy talking about and using the In-ternet (因特网), but how many of us know the his-tory of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information(信息)could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the gov-ernment (iEfeJ^), but in the early 1970s, universities (大学), hospitals and banks (银行) were allowed (允许) to use it too. However, computers were still very expen-sive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (软件) that made "surfing" (浏览) the Internet more convenient (方便).

Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail (电子邮件) is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

Satellites Forecast the Weather

Now satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So the scientists there can see the weather of any part of the world and tell how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather sta-tions in sixty countries can receive satellite pictures. When they receive the new pictures, they compare (比较) them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, they can tell people about it. So the weather satellites are of a great help to the scientists at the station. In the past they could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours earlier. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

Pollution

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern commu-nication means (通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution (污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly pol-luting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drink-ing water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules (法规) to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal (煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.

Pollution by SO2 is now the most dan-gerous kind of air pollution. It is caused (引起) by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.

Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail ── that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.

A. very well

B. in the way of western rule

C. in the way of his own rule

D. all of the above

A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse

B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse

C. the artist made his own rule

D. the artist did not follow other people's rule

3. You are not yet experienced because ____.

A. you don't know where to begin

B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

C. you always asked question

D. you do not trust to your own powers
