中考上海市英语数词专题复习数词精选例题一、考查基数词与序数的构成及用法

ThisSaturdayismy_______birthday.Welcometomyparty!

A.fourteenth

B.thefourteenth

C.fourteen

D.thefourteen

【解析】答案A。该题句意为“这个星期六是我的第十四个生日。欢迎来参加我的聚会。”基数词13~19都是以-teen结尾，是由个位基数词词干加后缀-teen构成。序数词“第一(二、三)”为first,second和third，其他序数词的构成是在基数词后加-th。一般情况下，序数词前面通常要加定冠词，但有人称代词所有格修饰时，定冠词则要删去。根据题意，故选A。

注意:容易拼写错误的数词有:five-fifth;nine-ninth;twelve-welfth;twenty-wentieth。二、考查分数的构成及用法

—Mum,

___

ofmyclassmates_______glasses.

—Oh,myGod.Youneedtoprotectyour

eyeswell.

A.three-fourths;wears

B.three-fourth;wear

C.three-fourth;wears

D.three-fourths;wear

【解析】答案D。该题句意为“妈妈，我们班四分之三的同学都戴眼镜。”“哦，天哪。你们需要好好保护眼睛。”分数的构成原则是:分子用基数词，分母用序数词，分子大于1时，分母用复数。根据句意，表示“四分之三”应该说threefourths;“分数(百分数)+名词”作主语时，句子中谓语动词的单复数形式取决于名词的单复数，句中的myclassmates是复数形式，谓语动词则应用复数形式。故选D。三、考查hundred,thousand,million等词的用法

一"FoodSafety"hasbecomeoneofthehottesttopicsrecently.

—Yeah,itreceives_______Internethitsa

day.

A.thousands

B.thousandsof

C.thousand

D.hundreds

【解析】答案B。该题句意为“食品安全成了当前热点话题之一。”“是啊，它一天网上点击量成千上万。”当hundred,thousand,million前面有具体数字表示准确的数目时，后面不能加-s，且不与of连用;当hundred,thousand等前面没有具体数词时，表示不具体、不准确的数目时，需要与of连用，词尾须加-s，本题中表示“成千上万网上点击量”，应该说thousandsofInternethits。故选B。四、考查含基数词的复合形容词用法

Itisfiveyearssincewebegantoenjoya

_______

springholidayeach

year.A.ten-day

B.tenday

C.tenday's

D.tendays

【解析】答案A。该题句意为“我们开始享受每年十天的春假已经有五年了。”“基数词+名词(+形容词)”构成的复合形容词作定语时，其中的名词用单数形式。“十天”作前置定语的表达为ten-day，注意须用连字符号。故选A。强化训练I.单项选择1.Thereare_______daysinayearA)threehundredsandsixty-five
