中考英语语法一轮复习——数词用法讲解及练习(无答案)
展开数词
I.定义与分类
数词是指表示数目多少或顺序先后的词。表示数目多少的数词叫基数词,如 one, five, ten, thirty, sixty-five 等;表示顺序先后的数词叫序数词,如 first, sixth, tenth, twenty-first 等。数词用法相当于名词和形容词,在句中可用作主语、宾语、表语、定语、同位语等。
II. 基数词
1. 英语中没有“万”这个读数单位,要表示汉语中的“万”,英语需借用thousand一词,如“一万”用“十个千”表示(ten thousand),“十万”用“一百个千”表示(one hundred thousand)。
2. 用作基数词单位的 hundred, thousand, million, billion 通常不带复数词尾-s,但若用于表示数百、数千、数百万这样的泛指,则用复数。如:
About two thousand people died in the earthquake. 大约有两千人在地震中丧生。
Thousands of people go to the seaside every year. 每年成千上万的人到海滨去。
3. 表示整十的基数词用复数形式可以表示人的大约岁数或年代。如:
He is in his early twenties. 他才二十出头(from www.hxen.com)。
This took place in the 1930s. 这事发生在20世纪30年代。
III. 序数词
1. 许多序数词是由相应的基数词后加词尾-th构成的,如four / fourth,six / sixth,ten / tenth,sixteen / sixteenth,但是nine变为序数词是ninth,而不是nineth。
2. twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth 等表示整十的序数词,由相应的基数词将词尾y改为ie,再加-th 构成。
3. first, second, third 通常可缩写为1st, 2nd, 3rd。凡是以th结尾的序数词可缩写为“基数词+th”:4th, 5th, 9th, 11th, 60th, 128th等。
4. 非整十的多位数,将个位数变成序数词即可:twenty-first(第21),thirty-sixth(第36),ninety-ninth(第99),three hundred and sixty-fifth(第365)等。
5. hundred, thousand, million 等序数词形式为 hundredth, thousandth, millionth 等。
6. 序数词前通常要用定冠词,但表示考试或比赛等的名次时,通常可省略其前的定冠词。如:
My room is on the second floor and his on the third. 我的房间在三楼,他的房间在四楼。
He was (the) third in the exam. 他考试得了第三名。
注:有时序数词前不用定冠词,而用不定冠词,表示次第在原有基础上的增加。如:
We’ll have to do it a second time. 我们得再做一次(from www.hxen.com)。
序数词前用定冠词和不定冠词的区别在于:定冠词表特指,不定冠词表泛指,有类似another的意思,但比another 的意思更明确。
IV. 分数、倍数、小数和百分数
1. 分数。
(1)分数由基数词和序数词构成:分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子超过“1”时,分母用复数。如:
two thirds=2/3 three fifths=3/5
注:1/2 通常读作 a [one] half,一般不读作a second;1/4 可读作 a [one] fourth,也可读作 a [one] quarter。
(2) 分子与分母之间加in, 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如one in ten 十分之一,five in eight八分之五。
(3) 分子与分母之间加out of , 分子在前,分母在后,分子分母都用基数词。如one out of ten十分之一,five out of eight八分之五。
2. 倍数。英语中表示倍数时通常借助half, double, twice, three times等之类的词。如:
They're twice the size of chickens. 它们比鸡大一倍。
Their house is about three times as big as ours. 他们的房子大约有我们房子三倍大。
倍数的几种表达法
(1) 倍数+as +形容词/副词(原级)+ as。如:This bridge is three times as long as that one.这座桥是那座桥的三倍长。
(2) 倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than。如:This bridge is three times longer than that one.这座桥是那座桥的三倍长。
(3) 倍数+ the size/length/weight…+of+表示比较对象的名词。如:
This bridge is three times the length of that one. 这座桥是那座桥的三倍长。
(4) 倍数+what引导的从句。如:
The college is twice what it was 5 years ago.这所大学是它五年前的两倍。
3. 百分数。百分数由基数词和百分号(%)组成,百分号(%)读作 per cent。如:
thirty percent=30%, 60 percent=60%
用“基数词+percent”。若表示几分之几或百分之几十的人或物时,用加of,作主语时,谓语动词的数与of后的名词数一致。如:
Forty percent of the students wear glasses.百分之四十的学生戴眼镜。
Two-thirds of the money was spent on food.三分之二的钱都花在食物上。
注意:percent一律用单数形式.
4. 小数。
小数点前的数按总数念,同其它基数词读法一样,小数点用point,小数点后面的数按基数词一个一个单独念。如9.65读作nine point six five。218.39读作two hundred and eighteen point three nine。
V. 日期
1949年1949读作nineteen forty-nine
6月23日June 23rd 读作June (the) twenty-third或the twenty-third of June
2006年10月October 2006 读作October, two thousand and six
1600年5月2日May 2nd, 2005 读作the second of May, sixteen hundred
VI. 钟点
半小时用half,一刻钟用a quarter,半小时以内用past,超过半小时用to。
08:00 eight o’clock或eight
09:15 nine fifteen或a quarter past/after nine
02:30 two thirty或half past/after two
05:45 five forty-five或a quarter to six
14:15 fourteen fifteen=2.15 p. m.
23:05 twenty-three oh five
24:00 twenty-four hundred hours=midnight
VII. 编号
1. 单纯的编号,可在基数词前加number,简写为No.。如No.2第二。
2. 序号与事物名词连用时分三种情况(from www.hxen.com):
(1)小序号可用“the +序数词+名词”或“名词+基数词”。如第一次课可以说the First Lesson或Lesson One。
(2)大序号通常只用“名词+数词”。如808号房间Room 808;168路公共汽车Bus No.168;南京路1490号1490 Nanjing Road;电话号码83545601(用基数词逐个念,0念字母O)。
(3 )用“a/the + number+基数词+名词”。如a No.3 bus一辆三路公共汽车,the No.3 bus那辆三路公共汽车。
VIII. 约数
1. 用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。如:
The boy bought dozens of pencils.那个男孩买了几十支铅笔。
Thousands of people died in the earthquake.数以千计的人死于地震。
注意:
(1)dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时,不用复数。如five dozen eggs五打鸡蛋, three hundred people五百个人。但score用法略有不同,与数词连用时,也加of。如two score of eggs (40个蛋)。
(2)有时单数形式的dozen, score, hundred, million等前面有数词,后面也有of,此时的of表示的是部分与整体的关系,其后一定是them, us之类的人称代词或者有the, these, your之类的限定词。如I want to buy three dozen of the eggs. (我想买其中的三打蛋) (from www.hxen.com)
2. 用less than, under, below, almost, nearly, up to等来表示小于或接近某数目。如nearly two hours将近两个小时。
3. 用more than, beyond, or more, over, above等来表示超过或多于某个数目。如more than 100 years一百多年。
4. 用or, or so, about, around, some, more or less等表示在某一数目左右。如about 50 pens大约五十支钢笔,a month or so大约一个月。
5. 用to, from…to…, between…and表示介于两数词。如:
His salary rose from 100 dollars a month to 120 dollars a month.他的工资从每月100美元升到了每月120美元。
IX. 年代
表示在某个世纪的几十年代,用“in the +逢十的基数词的复数”。基数词的复数若用阿拉伯数字表示,可直接加s,也可加’s。如“在20世纪80年代”是in the 1980’s或in the 1980s,读作in the nineteen eighties。
注意:不要漏掉the。
X.年龄
1. 表示某人几岁的确切年龄,用“基数词+years old”或“基数词+of age”或者“at the age of+基数词”,也可直接用基数词。如:
He began to study English at (the age of) seventy. 他70岁开始学英语。
She’s seventy years old.= She’s seventy years of age.她70岁了。
2. 表示某人几十多岁这样的约略年龄,用“in one’s+逢十的基数词的复数(如tens, twenties, thirties等)”来表达。如:
He went to America in his thirties.他30多岁时去了美国。
XI. 算式
2+8=10 Two plus eight is/equals ten.
Two and eight are/equal ten.
If you add two and eight, you will get ten.
8-2=6 Eight minus two is/equals six.
Two from eight is/equals six.
If you subtract two from eight, you will get six
2x8=16 Two multiplied by eight is/equals sixteen.
Two times eight is/equals sixteen.
If you multiply two by eight, you will get sixteen.
8÷2=4 Eight divided by two is/equals four.
Eight over two is/equals four.
If you divide eight by two, you will get four.
