雅思听力名词单复数问题

在雅思的听力考试中，常常会出现一些词让我们听得很模糊，比如一个名词是否复数等等。

雅思听力名词单复数问题

首先要掌握可数和不可数名词等基本语法概念，具体细节可参考语法书“名词的数”一节。

在雅思听力中，名词的单复数是很难听出来。

1】一些名词常以单数形式出现。a. 集体名词，以单数形式出现，但实为复数。

如： people，police ，cattle，offspring，staff等本身就是复数，不能说apeople，a police，a cattle.

b. 不可数名词，不可以加-s,如 furniture;sugar; traffic

2】一些名词则以复数词出现的机会较多。例： clothes; shorts短裤; scissors剪刀; spectacles/glasses眼镜; boots; antibiotics.

3】部分名词单复数同形，如: sheep, deer, salmon鲑鱼; trout鳟鱼,Chinese，Japanese等。

4】有些名词复数形式较特殊，如mouse【单】---mice【复】，ox【单】---oxen【复】，goose 【单】---geese【复】，datum → data ，index → indices ， analysis → analyses ，phenomenon → phenomena， focus → foci.

5】一些名词变复数形式后，意思有变化，如：paper【纸】—papers 【论文，报纸】，custom【习俗】---customs【海关】，goods货物，waters水域，fishes【各种】鱼。

雅思听力高分关键词

1. 数字

题目中出现的数字信息一般不会发生变化，例如：

剑7 TEST4 SECTION4 QUESTION32 In 1958, scientists in Japan

QUESTION33 What change occurred in the manufacture of glute-mate in 1956?

2. 限定词

通常会遇到时间，地点，程度的限定。

其中时间地点限定一般不会发生变化，程度限定往往会出现同义互换，常见的有most, more than ,up to ,fewer, extremely, slightly, at least等。

例如：剑7 TEST1 SECTION2 QUESTION12

The company has most camping sites in

Anita feels that most sports coaches know nothing about the influence of handedness.

3. 专有名词

专有名词指的是除了介词以外每个单词首字母都大写的这部分词，可以分为四类：

A. 人名称谓类

在学术场景中常见的称谓是考生需要会熟练拼写的，比如Support Tutor, Professor, Principal, Director of Studies

B. 地名类

例如常见街道名，包括street, avenue, lane, drive, block, road等

C. 标题类名词

如组织机构，建筑景点，学科，节假日，品牌等等，可以通过听到的called, named, known as, termed来定位

D. 星期，月份

4. 特殊字体和符号内信息

特殊字体指的是黑体和粗体，特殊符号指的是括号或者引号

5.难词

题目中出现不熟悉的单词是非常正常的，不用担心，这些词恰恰在很多时候可以帮助我们，因为不会发生变化，只需要知道它们的大概发音，在听到时能够迅速定位就可以了。
