数词考点大盘点
数词在高考中虽然不像其它词类那么"热",但也有其考查的重点和难点,须引起同学们的注意。

一、考查基数词的用法
1. 基数词hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数目时,其词尾不能加-s,其前面可用数词或several, some等修饰;当表示笼统数目时,其词尾要加-s,可跟of连用,其前不能用数词,但可以用several, some等修饰。

【原题再现】1. ________ people in the world are sending information by e-mail every day.
A. Several million
B. Many millions
C. Several millions
D. Many million
2. dozen和score的用法要注意以下几点:
1) dozen与数词或many, several等连用时,不加-s,所修饰的名词前常省去of。

如two (many, several) dozen pencils。

但是,在a dozen of these / those people, two dozen of them等短语中应加of,这是习惯用法。

2) two score of people中应加of,但在three score and ten people(70人)中,不加of。

3) 表示"几十;许多"时,可使用dozens of; scores of形式。

【原题再现】2. Mr. Smith ________ me to buy several ________eggs for the dinner party.
A. asked; dozen
B. suggested; dozens of
C. had; dozen
D. persuaded; dozens
3. 注意年龄、年代的表达法。

表达"在某人几十岁时"用"in one's +逢十的基数词复数";表达"在几十年代"时,用"in the +逢十的基数词复数"。

【原题再现】3. It is not rare in ________that people in ________ fifties are going to university for further education. A. 90s; the B. the 90s; / C. 90s; their D. the 90s; their
二、考查序数词的用法
序数词一般由基数词+th构成。

以y结尾的基数词构成序数词时,先把y变为i,再加eth。

如twentieth; fiftieth。

常用的不规则的序数词有:first, second, third, fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth。

序数词前通常要加定冠词the,但序数词不表示顺序而表示"再一;又一"时,前面要用不定冠词a(an)。

【原题再现】4. The cakes are delicious. He'd like to have ________ third one because ________ second one is rather too small. A. a; a B. the; the C. a; the D. the; a
三、考查分数和百分数的用法
表示几分之几或百分之几的人或物时,须在分数或百分数和人或物之间加of。

若充当主语,谓语动词的数须与of后的名词保持一致。

【原题再现】5. ________ of the land in that district________ covered with trees and grass.
A. Two fifth; is
B. Two fifth; are
C. Two fifths; is
D. Two fifths; are
四、考查倍数的表达法
英语中表达倍数常用下列句型:
1. A is three / four...times the size / height / length / width...of B.
2. A is three / four...times as big / high / long / wide...as B.
3. A is three / four...times bigger / higher / longer / wider...than B.
用times表示倍数时,一般只限于三倍或三倍以上的数,表示两倍常用twice或double。

【原题再现】6. It is reported that the United States uses _______ energy as the whole of Europe.
A. as twice
B. twice much
C. twice much as
D. twice as much
【原题再现】答案
1.【解析】million前可用several修饰,此时其后不能加-s, many不能修饰million。

表达"几百万"也可用millions of。

答案为A。

2.【解析】dozen前有具体数字或some, several等修饰时要用单数形式;have作使役动词时,应该用省略to的动词不定式作宾补。

答案为A。

3.【解析】根据题意,第一空应表示"年代"; 第二空表示"在50多岁的时候"。

答案为D。

4.【解析】从句意可知,第一空表示"再一",应填a;第二空表示顺序"第二",应填the。

答案为C。

5.【解析】"五分之二"应为"two fifths";land是不可数名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式答案为C。

6.【解析】倍数应位于as...as结构之外。

答案为D。

例题解析
1.---What time is it now? ---It is___________.
A. eleven and thirty B．eleven thirty C. thirty eleven D．eleven—thirty
解析:考查英语中时间的表达方法。

在英语中，时间用基数词表示，先读“时”，再读“分”，11：30读作eleven thirty，还可以表示为half past eleven。

答案B
2.She has been skating for_____________．
A. three and a half years B．three and half a year
C．three and a half year D．three years and half
解析:考查“三年半”，表达方法。

“三年半”有两种表达方法：three and a half years或three years and a half，故选项A正确。

答案A
3．I have to write a ______ composition every other week．
A. six-hundred-words B．six-hundreds—words C. six-hundreds—word D．six-hundred—word 考查整“百”的表示方法及名词做修饰语时用单数的规则。

数词hundred做定语时不加“s”，即“几百”用“基数词+hundred'’表示。

另外，此题中的“六百字”应看做一个整体来修饰名词composition，所以要加连字符“--”，且word用单数形式。

由此可见，选项D正确。

答案D
4．The hall can hold ______________people．
A. five hundred and fifty five B．five hundred fifty-five
C．five hundred and fifty-five D．five hundreds and fifty five
考查数字的读法。

“几十几”的数字，构成是先说“几十”再说“几”，中间用连字符“一”。

百位和十位之间用and连接，百位不能加“s”．所以选项C正确。

答案C
5.There are eight classes in our grade．I'm in ______ .
A. Grade Three，Class Two
B. Class Two，Grade Three
C. grade three，class two D．class two，grade three
解析:考查基数词的用法。

“几年级几班”，用“名词+基数词”表示，此时作为专有名词必须大写。

英文的排列顺序是“先小后大”，即“先读班级后读年级”，所以选项B正确。

答案B
6.1990s is read in English as______________ ．
A. twenty ninth B．twenty ninths C. nineteen nineties D．nineteen ninety
解析:考查年代的读法。

1990s代表“20世纪90年代”，按正常的读法，年代分“前两位”和“后两位”。

本题前两位是“19”，即nineteen；后两位是“90”，因为有s，所以用nineties．因此选择选项C。

答案C
7．We are going to learn ______ next week．
A.Lesson Four B．Lesson Fourth C．Fourth Lesson Fourth D．the Lesson
解析:考查基数词与序数词的不同表达方法。

“第几课”可用“Lesson+基数词”表示，也可用“定冠词the+序数词+Lesson'’表示，因此选项A正确。

答案A
8.He left his hometown ．
A．when he thirties B．in the thirties C. in his thirties D．at thirties
解析:考查基数词复数形式的特殊用法。

根据句意“他三十多岁时离开了家乡”，不具体说明“几十几岁”时用整“十”的基数词的复数形式表示，所以“他三十多岁时”用in his thirties 表示。

答案C
9．The number 2,548 is read as .
A．two thousands and five hundreds and forty and eight
B. two thousand, five hundred and forty-eight
C. two thousand, five hundreds, forty eight
D. five hundred and five hundred and forty-eight
解析:考查“千”以内数字的读法。

基数词加thousand ，hundred 分别“几千”、“几百”，先读“千位”，再读“百位”它们之间一般用逗号分开；然后加and ,最后加“几十几”。

答案：B
10．Every four years, ________________people watch the Olympic Games.
A . million of B. millions of C. tow millions D. tow millions of
解析:考查数词名词化的用法。

数词当名词用时，其后跟“of 短语”，这时数词加“s”不表示具确切的数字而表示多的概念，millions of 意为“数百万”。

11．Countries like Italy, Spain and Argentina have strong football traditions and fans.
A. hundred of ; thousand of
B. several hundreds of ; several thousands of
C. several hundreds ; several thousands
D. hundreds of ; thousands of
解析:考查数词用作名词的用法。

hundreds of 意为“数百”，thousands of 意为“成千上万”，hundred 各thousand 用复数形式，但前面不加数量词，B正确。

答案：B
12．Some champions，like the golfer Tiger Woods，make______ a year.
A．billions dollars B．billions of dollars C．billion dollars D. billions of dollar
解析:考查billions of修饰名词时的规则。

billions of意思是“上亿”、“数亿”，不表明具体：数量，它后面的名词用复数形式。

答案B
13.---How can I get to the Summer Palace? ---______ will take you there．
A.332 No. Bus B．No.332 Bus C. Bus No.332 D．Bus 332 No．
解析:考查基数词与名词连用的方法。

“332路公共汽车”作为专有名词时要倒装且大写，即Bus No.332，也可写成the No.332 Bus，所以选项C正确。

答案C
14.Outside people were selling dolls for more than______ the price．
A. five time B．five times C. the fifth time D．fifth times
解析:考查“倍数”的表达方法。

time当“时间”讲时为不可数名词；times作“倍数”讲时是可数名词，表示“多少倍”用“基数词+ times"。

根据句意“外面的人们正在以高出原来五倍的价格出售玩具”可知，选项B正确。

答案B
15．birthday I got a new watch．
A. In my ten B．On my ten C. In my tenth D．On my tenth
解析:考查序数词及表示时间的介词的用法。

“第几个生日”要用序数词表示。

另外，在“某一天”用介词on，所以“在我第十个生日那天”是on my tenth birthday。

答案D
16. ---When is your birthday，Jeff?
---My birthday is_______________ ．
A. January the thirtieth
B. January thirty
C. Thirty of January D．Thirtieth of January 解析:考查日期的读法。

读日期时一般是“月份加序数词”，20～90中“整十”的基数词变为序数词时是将y变为ie，再加th，所以选项A正确。

答案A
17.In our class of the students ______ girls．
A. three-fifth；are
B. three—fifth；is
C. three-fifths；are D．three-fifths；is
解析:考查分数的读法及主谓一致的规则。

分数的读法为：分子读基数词，分母读序数词；分子是二或二以上的数时分母加“s”。

分数做主语，谓语动词的形式取决于它所代表的量。

本题是“五分之三的学生”，故谓语动词应用are。

答案C
18.The People's Republic of China was founded ．
A. on October the first，1949
B. in October the first，1949
C．on 1949 October one D. in October one，1949
解析:考查年、月、日的表达方法。

英文中年、月、日的顺序是“月、日、年”，“日”用序数词，与“日期”连用时介词用on，所以选项A正确。

答案A
19. In 1850．about was covered by forest in the USA．
A. third B．the third C. a third D．a thirds
解析:考查分数的读法。

“三分之一”可以读成one-third或a third，因为分子是“一”，所以分母不必加“s”，因此选择C。

答案C
20. of the workers in this factory is about three hundred．______ of them are women workers．
A.A number；Three-fourth
B. The number；Three quarters
C．A number；Three-fourths D. The number；Three-fours
解析:考查分数的表达方法及the number of与a number of的区别。

the number of指“……的数量”，它做主语时谓语动词用单数形式；a number of意思是“许多”、“若干”，它做主语时谓语动词用复数形式。

“四分之三”有两种表达法：three-fourths或three quarters。

由此可见，选项B正确。

答案B
21. I think that the______ century will bring us more hopes．
A．twenty-one B. twentieth-one C. twentieth-first D. twenty-first
解析:考查序数词“第几十几”的表示方法。

“21世纪”用序数词表示。

“第几十几”只把“个位数”变为序数词，“十位数”用基数词，所以选择选项D。

答案D
22．My little brother was born in .
A．nineteen eighty-five B．one nine eight five C．nineteen eighty five D．nineteen eighty-fifth 解析:考查年代的读法。

读年代时要用基数词，前两位放在一起连读，后两位放在一起连读。

如1 874年，读作eighteen seventy-four。

答案A
23. There are months in a year，______ month is February．
A．twelve；two B．twelve；second C. twelve；the second D. twelfth；the second 解析:考查基数词、序数词的用法。

“一年中有12个月”中的“12'’用基数词。

“第二个月”是February，“第二”用序数“第一”、“第二”、“第三”是first，second，third。

序数词前往往在加the，故选项C正确。

答案C
24．I live in a tall building and I live floor．
A．in twelfth B．on the twelfth C．in twelve D．on the twelve
解析:考查序数词及介词的用法。

“住在第几层”用序数词，介词用on，所以选项B正确。

答案B
25．books must be produced for the young．
A. Many thousands of
B. Much thousand
C. Many thousand of
D. Thousand of
解析:考查数词名词化的短语的用法。
