2016年高考对名词词义辨析以及习惯搭配用法的考查将仍然是重点。 名词除了独立考查其词义辨析外，还常结合其他项目一起考查，题型以单项填空、短文改错、完形填空及单词拼写等形式出现，考查要点主要包括：
1．考查名词词义辨析和习惯搭配。名词词义辨析包括同义词辨析、近义词辨析、同形词辨析和不同词义的名词在语境中的辨析。另外，高考还考查容易混淆的名词的辨形、辨义以及名词的惯用法等。
2．考查名词的数(可数与不可数、单数与复数)、名词所有格、抽象名词的具体化、物质名词的量化、名词和冠词的搭配以及主谓一致等。
3．考查名词的“旧词新意”和“名词动化”现象。这种现象主要以隐形考查的方式出现在阅读理解和完形填空试题中。如：shelter n．庇护，避难所→vt.保护，躲避，避难； storm n. 暴风雨， 大动荡→vi.&vt.横冲直撞， 猛攻； shoulder n. 肩，肩膀，肩部→vt.肩负，承担； trail n．小径， 痕迹→vt.追踪。
一名词词义辨析
同义词、近义词甚至是形近词有着不同的含义和适用场合，要特别注意在特定语境中准确运用词汇和语法知识的能力。平时要努力扩大词汇量，做题时要深入理解语境，整体把握，结合句意作出最佳选择。
二名词固定搭配
高考中常常借助名词的固定搭配在具体语境中的运用考查名词。解答此类试题，不仅要掌握名词的意义，体会语境，还要牢记常用的名词固定搭配。如：have/gain access to得以进入/会见/接近；take advantage of利用，趁……之机；make fun of取笑，嘲弄等。
三抽象名词具体化
抽象名词是表示状态、品质、情感等而没有实物的名词。抽象名词具体化后变成可数名词，前面可加不定冠词，用来强调其具体表现形式或表示某一次短暂的动作，常意为“一次……的事情；一个……的人；一种……的东西”。如：抽象名词 具体意义
success成功 a success成功的人或事
failure失败 a failure失败的人或事
pleasure乐趣 a pleasure令人高兴的事
pity同情 a pity令人遗憾的事
relief宽慰
a relief令人宽慰的事
beauty美，美丽 a beauty美人
surprise惊奇；吃惊 a surprise一件意外的事
concern关心 a concern一件令人关切的事
四名词作定语
名词作定语一般用单数形式，如a mountain village, stone houses, coffee cup，但man和woman作定语时要随着所修饰的名词的数的变化而变化。如：a woman doctor, two women doctors。
五名词的所有格
4．双重所有格。
(1)当of短语所修饰的名词前有表示数量的词，如a/two/some/any/no等时，表示所有关系的of后加名词所有格或名词性物主代词。如：
a friend of my brother's/his
我弟弟的/他的一个朋友
several students of Mr. Smith's/mine
史密斯先生的/我的几个学生
(2)当of短语所修饰的名词前有一个指示代词表示一定感情色彩时，of后也用名词所有格或名词性物主代词。如：
That little son of Xiao Li's/yours is really lovely.
小李的/你的那个小儿子真可爱。
This invention of the professor's/his is of great importance.
教授的/他的这项发明很重要。
