雅思听力名词单复数问题 首先要掌握可数和不可数名词等基本语法概念,具体细节可参考语法书“名词的数”一节。 在雅思听力中,名词的单复数是很难听出来。 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(单)---mice(复),ox(单)---oxen(复),goose (单)---geese(复),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:paper(纸)—papers (论文,报纸),custom(习俗)---customs(海关),goods货物,waters水域,fishes(各种)鱼。 雅思听力关键词 1. 数字 题目中出现的数字信息一般不会发生变化,例如: 剑7 TEST4 SECTION4 QUESTION32 In 1958, scientists in Japan QUESTION33 What change occurred in the manufacture of glute-mate in 1956? 2. 限定词 通常会遇到时间,地点,程度的限定。 其中时间地点限定一般不会发生变化,程度限定往往会出现同义互换,常见的有most, more than ,up to ,fewer, extremely, slightly, at least等。 例如:剑7 TEST1 SECTION2 QUESTION12 The company has most camping sites in Anita feels that most sports coaches know nothing about the influence of handedness. 3. 专有名词 专有名词指的是除了介词以外每个单词首字母都大写的这部分词,可以分为四类: A. 人名称谓类 在学术场景中常见的称谓是考生需要会熟练拼写的,比如Support Tutor, Professor, Principal, Director of Studies B. 地名类 例如常见街道名,包括street, avenue, lane, drive, block, road等 C. 标题类名词 如组织机构,建筑景点,,节假日,品牌等等,可以通过听到的called, named, known as, termed来定位 D. 星期,月份 4. 特殊字体和符号内信息 特殊字体指的是黑体和粗体,特殊符号指的是括号或者引号 5.难词 题目中出现不熟悉的单词是非常正常的,不用担心,这些词恰恰在很多时候可以帮助我们,因为不会发生变化,只需要知道它们的大概发音,在听到时能够迅速定位就可以了。 雅思听力易混淆短句 1) a big time:尽兴,高兴的时刻 e.g. I had a big time there. the big time:第,较 e.g. Don’t worry, you are in the big time now. 2) according to:按照,根据 e.g. They were commended or criticized according to their work. according as:随……而定 e.g. The thermometer rises or falls according as the air is hot or cold. 3) admit to:承认 e.g. I have to admit to a dislike for modern music. admit sb.(in) to:允许某人进入某地或加入某组织、行业 e.g. They have admitted me into their club. 4) all for:完全赞成 e.g. I am all for holding a meeting to discuss it. for all:尽管 e.g. They could not open the box for all their forces. 5) all in all:总的说来 e.g. All in all, it is a success. all in:疲倦,筋疲力尽 e.g. He was all in, but he stuck it out. 6) as it is (was):照目前的情况来看 e.g. As it is, we shall be able to complete our task in time. as it were:可以说,姑且这样说 e.g. He is, as it were, a walking dictionary. 7) as much as:几乎,实际上 e.g. By running away he as much as admitted that he had taken the money. as much…as:与……一样多 e.g. It is as much our responsibility as yours. 8) as well:也,还是……为好 e.g. He gave me advice, and money as well.
