托福獨立寫作對考生詞匯運用方面的要求不少,這其中比較重要也是相當基礎的一點就是不要用錯詞匯。然而這看似簡單的要求許多同學卻偏偏很難做到,總是會在詞匯上摔個不大不小的跟頭。所以下面小編就來為大家深度分析托福獨立寫作中詞匯問題中的名詞用法注意要點。
1. 可數名詞要有冠詞代詞或復數
Even expert or scholar specializing in a certain field might cover a vast spectrum of knowledge in order to succeed.
During high school, a very important time in a person’s education career, student will learn skill necessary to be successful in university and the work world.
第一句句子中的expert和scholar都是可數名詞,因此需要在這些詞之前加上冠詞(定冠詞或不定冠詞)或物主代詞,或變為名詞的復數形式。Even experts or scholars specializing in a certain field might cover a vast spectrum of knowledge in order to succeed.
第二句句子中的student和skill也都是可數名詞,全句應該改為:During high school, a very important time in a person’s education career, students will learn most of the skills necessary to be successful in university and the work world.
2. 集合名詞的單復數要注意
我們來看下面的例句:
Technology is developing at a remarkable speed that our ancestors might never have foreseen.
在此句句子中,technology 是不可數名詞。考生是否可以將這句句子改成:Various modern technologies are developing at a remarkable speed that our ancestors might never have foreseen呢?technology到底是可數名詞還是不可數名詞?
當technology理解為抽象的“科學技術”,即強調總稱時,是不可數名詞,如例句中的Technology is developing at a remarkable speed中的technology正是對“科學技術總稱”的指代。當強調“各種各樣”科技產品的時候,此時的technology則是可數名詞,如例句 Various modern technologies are developing at a remarkable speed. 這類名詞稱之為“集合名詞”,在托福獨立寫作中,經常使用的“集合名詞”還有government,如:
The central government is so concerned about keeping pandas in existence that it is spending millions of dollars trying to determine how to artificially inseminate the giant panda. (中央政府是一級具體的“政府機關”,因此使用可數名詞形式)
It is crucial for government to setup more funds by attracting larger investments to solve financial problems encountered during the course of environment-related projects. (這里的政府是“行政機關的總稱”,因此使用不可數名詞形式)
3. 名詞的首字母大寫要求介紹
在哪些情況下,名詞需要對其首字母進行大寫(capitalization)?
表示月份:February
表示歷史事件:The Enlightenment
表示歷史時期:The Middle Ages
表示書刊、報紙:The New York Times,The Washington Post
表示節日:Christmas,the Spring Festival
表示國家(地區):North America
表示專有名詞:the Amazon
