数词考点大盘点

一、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】

________ people in the world are sending information by e-mail every day.

A. Several million B. Many millions C. Several millions D. Many million

【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. 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。
