一、考向分析
1.专有名词的大小写及不可数名词的数量表示。
①September 10th is ______.
A. teacher's day B. Teachers' day
C. Teachers' DayD. Teacher's Day
Teachers' Day是专有名词，两个单词的首字母都要大写，故选C。
②He's left a ______ saying he has something important to do.
A. excuse B. sentence
C. news D. message
news(消息、新闻)为不可数名词，不能在其前直接加a/an；excuse是可数名词，其前可用an限定；leave a message为习惯用语，故选D。
③There are ______ on my desk.
A. three paper
B. three pieces of papers
C. three pieces of paper
由于paper是不可数名词，所以不能加s，且不能直接与数词连用，故只能选C。
2.名词所有格是中考的常考内容。"两人共有的……"所有格形式，of用于有生命名词的所有格及不规则名词的复数形式是近年中考的热点。
The young man saved three ______ lives in the accident.
A. children's B. children
C. child's D. childrens'
本题是考查名词所有格的运用。据题意，"三个孩子的生命"应用复数形式的所有格，而child的复数是不规则的，其复数形式的所有格是children's，故选A。
3.名词复数形式在语境中的运用。
-Are there any ______ on the hill?
-Yes, there are some.
A. house B. sheep
C. animal D. horse
这里的四个选项都是可数名词，且都是单数形式，而只有sheep的单、复数形式相同，句中be为复数形式，故只能选B。
