一．高考考点剖析：
名词的数量及用法可谓纷繁复杂，高考题每年都有对名词的考查。近几年考卷对该部分的单纯考查在逐渐减少，但有向完型填空和短文改错等题型迁移的特征。有关名词的考查应蕴涵以下考点：
1名词的“数” 2名词的“格”（所有格）
3名词做定语的形式
4在一定语境中名词的词意辨析
5链接语法：主谓一致
冠词应着重掌握下列知识点：
1、 定冠词the、不定冠词a/an以及零冠词的一般用法；
2、 冠词的习惯用法和特殊用法。
二．知识结构梳理：
一）名词
名词是表示人，事物，地点或抽象概念的名称的词。
名词 专有名词 Mary, Beijing 不可数名词
普通名词 物质名词 water, sand
抽象名词 happiness, success
集体名词 family, team
可数名词
个体名词 book, pen, man
I. 名词的数
在熟悉名词单数变复数规则的基础上，突出以下几点：
1．注意以下名词数的概念
1.1. 以s结尾，仍为单数的名词(多为学科名词)， 如：
physics, linguistics, mathematics, politics, statistics, news , the United States
1.2. 抽象名词：表示具体或特定时，前面应有不定冠词
a pleasure/pity/surprise/success/failure/shame
/an honor
a bright future, a strong character, a great help, a waste of time, a knowledge of English
1.3 总称名词：表示一类事物的总称，不能加s
machinery, furniture, equipment, technology, luggage, baggage, homework, evidence
1.4单数和复数形式表达不同的意思
chicken鸡肉 / chickens小鸡; fish鱼肉 / fishes( fish )各种鱼; paper纸 / papers试卷; water水 / waters水域，room空间/ rooms房间
1.5只有复数形式的名词，如
glasses （眼镜）,trousers, clothes，scissors等，注意加单位名词的用法：a pair of glasses; two pairs of trousers
1.6 形式上虽是单数，但表示的是复数含义
people , police, cattle, staff, public, the +adj., the + 分词;（表示一类人）
1.7 以复数形式出现，表达复数含义
belongings, surroundings, earnings, savings, shoes, socks, goods, thanks, congratulations, funds, pains, arms, troops
2.集合名词的数
注意主谓一致：看成一个整体时，谓语用单数，若侧重各个成员，则用复数
eg: a) The average family is a great deal smaller than it used to be.
b) My family are going with me.
3. 单复数同形的名词
fish, deer, sheep, youth, Chinese, Japanese, means, species, crossroads, series, works
eg: How many deer are there in Dafeng now?
4 由连字符构成的复合名词的“数”:
a)合成名词的复数形式通常只将其中的主体名词变成复数：
lookers-on 参观者 sons-in-law 女婿 editors-in-chief主编 shoe-makers 鞋匠
b)如果没有主体名词，在最后一个词上加复数词尾：
go-betweens 中间人 grown-ups 成人 follow-ups 续集 good-for-nothings 饭桶
c) man, woman, gentleman等作定语时定语和被修饰词都变成复数：
men workers　　women teachers　　gentlemen officials
5.不规则名词的“数”:
常用改变元音字母或词尾加en的方法构成
woman -women, child-children, ox -oxen, tooth -teeth, goose -geese,
foot -feet, mouse -mice, phenomenon-phenomena, analysis-analyses,
6 .专有名词的“数”
史密斯一家人 the Smiths 两个玛丽 two Marys
7.非名词类词汇的“数”:
缩写，数字，字母的复数常用加’s的方法来构成
three a’s; two but’s; in one’s twenties; in the 1980’s(1980s)
e.g 1) Nothing is in good order but at sixes and sevens. 乱七八糟
2)You mightn’t as well use so many and’s in your conversation.
9 固定结构中名词的“数”
1) take pains 费劲做… 2) make arrangements 安排3)make preparations准备 4)keep on good terms with 和某人相处融洽5)be in high / low spirits精神高昂的 6)extend thanks to 表达谢意
7)by means of 通过…方式 8)give regards of 向某人问好 9) give respects to尊敬
II. 名词所有格
英语中有些名词可以加\'\'s\'来表示所有关系，带这种词尾的名词形式称为该名词的所有格，如：a teacher\'s book。名词所有格的规则如下：
1） 单数名词词尾加\'\'s\'，复数名词词尾没有s，也要加\'\'s\'，如the boy\'s bag 男孩的书包，men\'s room 男厕所。
2） 若名词已有复数词尾-s ，只加\' \' \'，如：the workers\' struggle　工人的斗争。
3） 复合名词和短语的所有格在最后的词后面加’s, 如 her brother-in-law’s bike, someone else’s keys a day or two’s rest
4） 凡不能加\'\'s\'的名词，都可以用\'名词+of +名词\'的结构来表示所有关系，如：the title of the song 歌的名字。
5) 分别格
如果两个名词并列，并且分别有\'s，则表示\'分别有\'；只有一个\'s，则表示\'共有\'。
John\'s and Mary\'s rooms（两间）　　John and Mary\'s room（一间）
6) 省略格：
在表示店铺或教堂,诊所的名字或某人的家时，名词所有格的后面常省略它所修饰的名词，
在诊所at the doctor”s 在我姐家at my sister’s
7)双重格：
of +名词’s 结构， 如 a friend of my father’s , works of Lu Xun’s
注意：当of 之前的名词是picture, portrait等词时含义不同
eg: This is a picture of my friend’s. 这是我朋友收藏的一幅画
This is a picture of my friend. 这是我朋友的一张照片
III. 名词的修饰语
1. 有些直接用名词来修饰名词
金戒指 gold ring; 物理实验室 physics lab;
咖啡杯coffee cup; 油壶 oil pot;
苹果籽 apple seeds；
2. 关于表示数量（许多）的修饰语（分类）：
A)a good many B)a good many of C) a number of D) numbers of E) a great deal of
F) a large amount of G) a large quantity of H) large quantities of I) a lot of
J) lots of K) more than one L) many a M)a few N)a little

The professor\'s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite 36 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 37 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 38 me right on all the 39 that had puzzled me. I was on the 40 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said,“You\'re very fond of gardening, I see.”
“No, I\'m not,”he said.“ 41 , I love this garden, though. It\'s 42 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 43 a pity to let all this ground to go to waste. But perhaps you don\'t 44 that way?” said I.
“I don\'t. I lived here when I was a child, and I had 45 of gardening then. It was my father\'s hobby, you see. Unfortunately, he wasn\'t 46 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade (叶片) of grass was an enemy to be 47 by hand, not just cut off. I\'ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you\'re getting even.”
“I disliked it. Then, of course, I didn\'t understand the 48 it had. It used to 49 me. It
appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing
its head in a place I was 50 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The
size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”“And now it\'s yours, you\'re just letting it go to...”
“ 51 ?” he said.“No, I don\'t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 52 it grow 53 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 54 at last , and so have I.”
“But the path is overgrown. It\'s inconvenient for you, isn\'t it? ”

第三部分: 阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从题后所给的A、B、C、D四个答案中选出最佳选项。
A
If his local swimming pool had not been destroyed by a hurricane and his mother had still been standing by him, Tim Duncan would have been a champion-making great splashes hit in the pools of the 1992 Olympic Games.
But the 26-year-old tasted success, not with gold medals from 400 metres freestyle, but on the basketball courts of NBA.
With a late start in basketball, Duncan may not be the most interesting player on the court. He doesn\'t scream with every block, nor does he throw elbows(胳膊肘)with every rebound. And his lack of show has often caused his competitors to underestimate(低估) the extent of his skills.
“He\'s a quiet killer who is skilled in all aspects(方面) of the game,” commented Seattle Supersonics Coach George Karl.
Duncan showed his ability the moment he stepped into NBA as the No. 1 pick in the 1997 draft(选秀).
He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1998. And he soon signed a three-year contract(合同)with Spurs that was worth over US $ 10 million.
His presence on the team was a key factor in 1996-97 to 56 victories in 1997¬¬-98. His other honors include Most Valuable Player for 2001-02. Duncan\'s amazing progress comes from his continual devotion to improving himself in all aspects of his performance. “He is always keen to learn any small point that will improve his game,\' said Darry Howerton, a senior editor of a sports magazine in the US.
And Duncan never forgets his mother. In her honor, he and his wife created the Duncan Foundation in November, 2001. The organization raises health awareness(意识), researches and educates people about cancer. Duncan has also been very active with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and has taken part in numerous charity (慈善)efforts for children\'s organizations in San Antonio.
56. Duncan didn\'t make great hit in the 1992 Olympic Games because .
A. something bad happened to his family B. he was the oldest athlete
B. he was the oldest athlete
C. he didn\'t attend the game
D. he was not very skilled in swimming
57. George Karl\'s words mean that Duncan .
A. is looked down upon by others
B. doesn\'t like showing off but is a great threat to other players
C. is good at showing off in the field
D. is cruel when playing basketball
58. Duncan\'s success on the basketball courts .
A. develops as the coach expected
B. lies in his hard work
C. earns him more fames than other players
D. makes himself the best player on NBA
59. From the last paragraph we can learn Duncan is .
A. healthy
B. kind-hearted
C. learned
D. modest
B
Tourism, food, and transport will be the industries hardest hit by SARS, experts have warned.
The disease will have a decidedly negative effect on domestic spending, according to Qi Jinmei, a senior economist at the State Information Center.
Since the outbreak of the disease, more than 1,440 groups of tourist have postponed tours in Beijing alone, the local tourism bureau reports, In Hainan, the number of tourists received by major agencies fell by 6,300 in the first quarter of the year, the local statistic(统计)bureau says.
The central government has canceled the week-long May Day holiday, trying to stop the spread of the virus.
Spending during that holiday week, in recent years, has contributed a great deal of annual retail sales, Qi said.
What is worse, the disease has begun to have a negative impact(effect) on food purchases and other necessities.
“People are unwilling to leave their homes. If the disease is not controlled, nationwide retail sales are likely to drop 2 percentage points,” she said.
Zhang Liqun, a senior research fellow at the State Council Development Research Center, says SARS is likely to have an impact on retail sales, but is not expected to be so large. “Retail sales will drop by less than 1 percentage point, because the outbreak will be periodic and short-term,” he said.
He said that the experience in Guangdong Province seems to suggest that the SARS outbreak will last about three months. After that, people may spend more on goods to “make up” for the reduced spending. People are still buying daily necessities from chain stories.
“They have to eat, although they may not eat in restaurants,” Zhang said.
But clothing and shoe sales will be affected, because people will be less keen to indulge in window shopping.
60. The main idea of the 3rd paragraph is that .
A. SARS was serious, especially in Beijing and Hainan
B. Tourism in Beijing and Hainan was greatly affected
C. Tourism in places of interest was forbidden to develop after SARS broke out
D. Hainan suffered more than Beijing as a result of SARS
61.“They have to eat, although they may not eat in restaurants.” means .
A. People can\'t live without food, but they seldom go to restaurants
B. People used to eat in restaurants, but now they have to eat at home
C. People must pay attention to their health while eating in restaurants
D. People prefer to eat at home rather than in restaurants
62. The week-long May Day has been canceled because .
A. we can prevent the spread of SARS by doing so
B. it will do good to the control of the SARS spread
C. people consider more for their health
D. it may bring more harm than advantages
63. According to Zhang Liqun\'s opinions, .
A. SARS can be completely controlled in the first few months of the year
B. Retail sales will be less affected than expected
C. People will save their money after the control of SARS
D. SARS has already been well controlled in Guangdong
