雅思听力中的单复数
英语中的单复数形式,sesies及各种不规则的复数形式最是让同学头疼了,往往不认真就听不到那淡淡的尾音,加上可能语法不是特别扎实的话,就可能错过那小小的s,真是一股淡淡的忧桑扑面而来。而单复数形式往往就是那个陷阱,对考生造成干扰。
雅思听力中要注意几点:
1)一些名词常以单数形式出现
a. 集体名词,以单数形式出现,但实为复数。
如: people,police ,cattle,offspring,staff 等本身就是复数,不能说 a people,a police,a cattle
b. 不可数名词,不可以加-s,如 furniture;sugar; traffic
2)一些名词则以复数词出现的机会较多
例: clothes; shorts短裤; scissors剪刀; spectacles/glasses眼镜; boots; antibiotics
3)部分名词单复数同形,如: sheep, deer, salmon 鲑鱼; trout 鳟鱼,Chinese,Japanese 等。
4)有些名词复数形式较特殊,如mouse---mice,ox---oxen,goose ---geese,
datum data ,index indices , analysis analyses ,phenomenon phenomena, focus foci
5)一些名词变复数形式后,意思有变化,如:paperpapers ,custom---customs,goods货物,waters水域,fishes鱼。
雅思考试是常识和语言的应用,单复数问题不仅要通过听来判断,更要靠自己的语法和语感以及对英语语言的积累判断的。只有英语语言功底过硬,这个问题上才不会丢分。以上内容供大家参考。预祝大家考出理想雅思成绩!
