文档介绍：高考陷阱题系列-一名词考点
♦典型陷阱题分析♦
found her sitting in the comer, reading newspaper, with
in her eyes.
A. a, tear B. a piece of, tears
C. a, tears D. a piece of, tear
【陷阱】误选D,许多学生错误地认为，既然news（消息）和 paper（纸）均为不可数名词，那么newspaper（报纸）也应是不可数的；同 时认为“眼泪”即“泪水”，“水”不可数，“泪水”和“眼泪”也应该不可数。
【分析】最佳答案为C。newspaper和tear均为可数名词，它们 不仅可以连用不定冠词、可以用复数，而且还可以连用数词。
Her eyes filled with 。
She dried her tears with a 眼泪。
The newspapers were full of 。
A newspaper is a 。
顺便说一句，若不是将newspaper当作是供阅读或传递信息的一 种东西，而只是把它当成一种“纸”来看待，也可用作不可数名词，如:
Wrap it in （a sheet of） 。
Her father works as a in a hotel and her mother a in a private company.
A. cooker, typewriter B. cook, typist
C. cooker, typist D. cook, typewriter
【陷阱】误选A,许多同学想当然地认为：cook用作动词，表示 “煮饭”，所以cooker应是其相应的名词，表示“煮饭的人”，即“厨师”; type用作动词，表示"打字”，所以typewriter应表示"打字员”。
【分析】而事实是：cook=厨师，cooker^炊具；typist=打字员， typewriter=h字机。即此题正确答案为B。
"Why couldn't they meet us at five o,clock?,, "Because they were delayed by
A. heavy traffic B. heavy traffics
C. crowded traffic D. crowded traffics
【陷阱】B、C、D三项均容易误选。
【分析】对于此题，首先要明确traffic为不可数名词，没有复数 形式，故排除B和D。另外，汉语****惯说“交通拥挤”，而英语****惯上 却不能用
crowded来修饰traffic,要表示汉语的"交通拥挤”，英语通 常说heavy traffic,即选A。如下面一题也是选A：
She is not a competent driver and can't cope with driving in.
A. heavy traffic B. heavy traffics
C. crowded traffic D. crowded traffics
In fact,one cause that leads to the problem.
A. cattle is B. cattle are
C. cattles are D. the cattles are
【陷阱】此题容易误选A,想当然地认为cattle是单数，并且空格 有表单数的one,自然谓语动词用is。
【陷阱】其实，正确答案为B。cattle（牲畜，牛）为集合名词，尽 管它不带复数词尾-s,却永远表示复数意义，若用作主语，谓语要用 复数。又如：
For this many cattle were 了不少牲畜。
The prisoners were herded like 口 一样被赶到一起。
类似地，police（警察），people（人），police（警察），poultry（家禽）等 也具有同样用法，即只有单数形式，但却表示复数意义；用作主语时 谓语通常也用复数；不与a（n）连用，但可与the连用（表示总括意义 和特指）。如：
The poultry have been 。
In Britain police do not usually carry 。
It annoys me when people forget to say "t
