英语,学⼠学位⾃考书第三单元Unit Three GeographyText A The Grand canyonThe Grand canyon in Arizona is one of the fargest and most beautiful of all canyons.It extends four hundred fifty kilometers.The surrounding area does not make you suspect the existence of such a great opening in the earth.You come upon the canyon suddenly,when you reach its edge.Then you are looking at a land like nothing else in the world.Walls of rock fall away sharply ar your feet.In some places,the canyon walls are more than a kilometer deep.Far below is thedark,turning line of the Colorado River.On the other side,sunshine lights up the naked rock walls in red,orange,and gold.The bright colors are the result of minerals in the rocks.Their appearance changes endlessly with the light,the time of year,and the weather.At sunset,when the sun has moved across the sky,the canyon walls give up their fiery reds and golds.They take on quieter colors of blue,purple,and green.A famous American John Muir said in 1898,”The Grand Canyon…as unearthly in the color and grandeur and quantity of its architecture as if you had found it after death on some other star.”(⼀位著名的美国⼈约翰·繆尔曾在1898年说过:“科罗拉多⼤峡⾕…….它的⾊彩和构造的宏伟多样是世间所没有的,就像是⼈消亡以后在别的星球上发现的东西。

He rides a mountain bike.(修饰语)他骑了一辆山地自行车。
He was here yesterday,I'm sure.(状语)我肯定他昨天在这儿。
3.1名词分类名词有各种各样的分类,可分为具体名词和抽象名词,也可以分为可数名词和不可数名词,还可以分为有生命的名词和无生命的名词。
名词可以根据意思和形式分类,根据意思,名词可以分为两类,专有名词和普通名词,专有名词是特定的人,地点或者事物的名称,拼写时首字母大写,普通名词则是一类人,事物或者抽象的想法的统称,普通名词又可以进一步的划分为个体名词,集体名词,物质名词和抽象名词。
从形式上看,名词可以分为可数名词和不可数名词。
可数名词有复数,并可以与数字连用,带有限定词,而不可数名词则是只有一种形式的名词,使用时可以不带限定词。
为了归纳方便,我们用图来表示名词的分类。
我们还可以在可数名词和物质名词中进一步分出具体名词和抽象名词。
专有名词和普通名词在意义上的区别很明显:名词的单一指代和非单一指代在语法形式上表现得如此不同,以致它们在语法地位上形成了很好的正式分类。
专有名词指人,地点等,而普通名词将事物分成几种类别,专有名词通常首字母大写没有复数形式,它前面不能用冠词,这些只是一般规定也有例外,例如:There are two Marks in the class.普通名词一般符合一个或两个规则,会不同时符合所有规则。
有复数的名词叫做可数名词,没有复数形式的叫做物质名词,之所以用物质这个词而不用不可数,是因为后者用起来会有歧义,有时用作不可数名词,有时包括以复数形式存在的词,有些可能是可数的,如three people.具体名词可以是可数名词,也可以是物质名词,抽象名词也可以是可数名词和物质名词。
还有一种有用的方法,可以标记一小部分普通名词。
在语法上,这些普通名词的作用不同于其他名词,他们就是集体名词,集体名词通常为可数名词,即使形式上是单数,实际上指的是一组人,动物或事物。
关于集体名词应注意的是,即使形式上是单数谓语动词也可能用复数例如The committee is/are having a meeting now.3.2代词代词是名词或名词词组的替代形式,比如替代某个特定事物的名字和替代一个人的名字。
被替代的名词叫做这个代词的先行词。
大量重复出现的名词,因为不断的重复经或者读同样的名词会很痛苦,如果经常重复相同的词语,很可能会不耐烦,代词可以替代名词或者别的代词,使得句子不那么累赘和重复。
代词提代名词,更确切的说代词替代名词词组,请看下面几个句子。
Girls like kites.The two lovely girls like kites.They love kites.所以说代词不仅替代单个的名词,还包括名词词组。
代词是一个封闭的词类,很少有新成员加入这个类别,名词则是在不断的扩展。
代词在句子中可以用作主语宾语或者补语,语法学家们将代词分为多种类型,包括人称代词,指示代词,疑问代词,不定代词,关系代词,反身代词,物主代词,相互代词和强化代词。
注意不定代词并不是指任何特定的人,事或者数,它是模糊不定的。
很多不定代词还作为语句的其他成分发挥作用。
3.3数词在之前讲过,区别名词词类的一个重要标准是名词的数。
数是英语中名词,代词,限定词和动词的一个特征,一些名词有数的变化,一些没有。
可数名词在单数变为复数时大部分是有规则的,但也有不规则变化,这些不规则变化大多是外来词。
英语中有许多词几乎总是以单数或只以复数形式出现,他们缺乏数的对比,主语和动词要一致。
规则的复数形式及单数的词尾后加s/es,我们就不再讨论了,我们把重点放在一些疑难问题上,只以单数或只以复数形式存在的名词和不规则复数变化的名词。
3.3.1单数名词a.专用名词因为是特指,因此即便以复数形式出现,它也是单数。
除了荷兰和菲律宾,可以是复数,还有一些以复数形式出现的表示地点的专有名词,也按复数形式对待。
人名一般为单数,当表示一家人为复数。
两个或两个以上的人同名时可用复数。
姓氏的复数模糊而又复杂。
以辅音和元音结尾的名字默认为是相同的。
但是以es或者ez 结尾的名字,要在后面加es。
注意表称谓的人名通常有两种复数形式。
b.物质名词物质名词中不论是具体名词还是抽象名词,一般都是单数形式,包括某些以s结尾的词,他们有些偶尔用作复数。
⑴以ics结尾的表示科学,学科等的词。
(其中有的词用作普通意义时,可用其复数形式。
)⑵以s结尾的表示疾病的词。
⑶以s结尾的表示游戏或比赛的词。
有些物质名词以复数形式出现时,表示强度数量大或带有文学色彩。
3.3.2复数名词下列名词常常被当作复数。
⑴由两个相等部分组成的工具。
(注意当这些名词用作形容词应当去掉词尾s)⑵一些集体名词。
⑶山脉,瀑布,岛屿等地理名称。
⑷其他以s结尾的名词。
3.3.3单复数名词有相当数量的名词,既可以是可数的,又可以是不可数的,并且带有不同的含义。
3.3.4不规则复数名词不规则复数没有规律可遵循,所以不规则复数也要当成一个生词来记忆,大多数不规则复数是外来词,拉丁语词或者希腊语刺,所以学习这些语言的形态学规则是有用的。
不规则复数,一般包括拼写或发音不规则或拼写发音均不规则的形式,单复数同形,外来语复数形式。
a.拼写或发音不规则的复数⑴来自古英语中的复数:⑵以f或fe结尾和尾音发f的音的名词的复数:规则变化不规则变化两种变化均可b.单复数同形⑴部分动物⑵度量(注意这些名词也可以用s形式)⑶以ese结尾表示国籍的⑷单复数均以s/es结尾的名词c.外来词复数外来词其复数形式是外来的,但是有的也以英语的变化规则进行变化。
依然保持外来语复数形式的词:⑴以a结尾的名词(拉丁语)。
⑵以eau结尾的名词(法语)。
⑶以ex/ix结尾的名词(拉丁语)。
⑷以is结尾的名词(希腊词)。
⑸以on结尾的名词(希腊语)。
⑹以um结尾的名词(拉丁语)。
⑺以us结尾的名词(拉丁语)。
d.复合词复数复合词单数变复数有三种:最后一部分变复数;第一部分变复数;第一部分和最后一部分同时变成复数(特别是当复合词是并列的时候)。
e.字母,数字,缩略词等的复数形式⑴字母变复数时,通常加's(仅限单字母)⑵阿拉伯数字变复数时可以加's或s⑶缩略词变复数时加's或者加s,双写末尾字母或者不变化。
3.3.5代词的单复数代词也有单复数形式,大多数不定代词表示单数或复数,然而有一些在一种上下文中表示单数在另一种上下文中却表复数。
3.4单位名词(学习者加可以理解成量词)那些能够与物质名词一起使用表示单位的名词叫作单位名词。
单位名词是表示单体个体性词语,用以说明所修饰的名词的量,尤其是说明物质名词的量,不过单位名词也可修饰可数名词,指明它们的数量,大小,形状等。
最常见的是piece和bit。
一些其他的单位名词有比较固定的搭配,他们只能与一些特定的名词搭配。
3.4.2单位名词分类单位名词中最常用的是piece,但是学习英语的人,由于所掌握的词汇量小错误的认为它能和任何词搭配,所以容易滥用这个词,我们选择单位名词应根据其语言环境,同时单位名词有自己本身的意义,因此,它与其他名词的搭配关系比较固定。
⑴表示物体形状的单位名词⑵表示事物的集合方式⑶表示人的集合方式⑷表示动物的集合方式⑸表示尺度或重量等⑹表示容器⑺表示方式,状态等此外还有一些其它类型的名词,可以将名词划分成不同的类型或者种类。
需要注意的是一个复数的种类名词后面可以用可数名词的单数或者复数,我们通常将表示种类的名词而不是第二个名词前置。
并且第二个名词如果是可数的,通常不带不定冠词。
