单项填空对名词的考察重点放在名词词义辨析，特别是同义词和近义词的辨析上。名词的习惯用法、一词多义、抽象名词具体化，名词动用等方面也是考察的重点。以下是学习啦小编为大家编辑的英语学习方法文章，仅供考生参考，欢迎大家阅读!
研究近年来高考题我们不难看出，名词部分主要考察名词的词义辨析和习惯搭配、名词的数(可数与不可数、单数与复数)、名词的所有格、抽象名词的具体化、物质名词的量化、名词和冠词的搭配以及主谓一致等。在高考试题中，名词常结合其他项目一起考察，考察题型以单项选择、短文改错、完形填空、语篇中的名词词义理解、及写作部分等。
一、对同义词、近义词的考查
1、 At the meeting they discussed three different_______to the study of mathematics。
A.approaches
B.means
C.methods
D.ways
【答案】D。
【解析】在会议上他们讨论了三种不同的学习数学的方法。way意为方式，方法，可指具体的方法，也可指抽象的方法，多指一般的思想、行动、办事的方法，也可指个人特殊的方式、方法。approach意为接近，靠近，方式，方法，指接近某人或某事，也可指对待或处理事情的方式或方法。mean意为方式，方法，用于抽象意义，可指为达到某一目的而采用的方法、计划、政策、策略等，尤指整套方法;用于具体意义，常指为达到某一目的所使用的工具、材料、机器、用具、车船等。method意为方式，方法，指具体的、系统的、有步骤的方法，强调条理性及高效率。
【备考提示】面对英语学习中的大量近义词，仅凭母语我们往往无法把它们真正理解和解释清楚。要尽可能地多翻阅英语词典，注意并比较它们的基本义，用英语的思维方式和语言来解释和理解它们。
二、对相似词的考查
2、Always read the_______on the bottle carefully and take the right amount of medicine.
A. explanations B. instructions
C. descriptions D. introductions
【答案】B。
【解析】 从选项中名词的拼写来看，不但形式相似，都是以?tions为后缀，而且instructions 和introductions读音也相似，我们平时如果不注意单词的辨形、辨音，很容易混淆，再加上四个单词的含义也相似，有的考生被弄得晕头转向。本题要求在辨形的基础上还要知道这几个词的含义：explanation，解释instruction，说明description，描述introduction，介绍。本句的意思是必须仔细阅读药瓶上的说明，按量服用。答案是B。
三、易错的新版教材名词固定搭配
作为对新版教材的体现，新版教材里的一些新出现的名词固定搭配得到了较多的一种考查。
3、______achievement，last weeks ministerial meeting of the WTO here earned a low,though not failing，grade.
A.In terms of B.In case of
C.As a result of D.In face of
【答案】A。
【解析】语境为：就成绩而言，上周WTO在这里的部长级会议得分不高，尽管还不至于不及格。B项表如果，C项表因为，D项表面对，A项表关于、至于，符合题意。
4、You have been sitting on my hat and now it is badly out of______。
A.date B.shape
C.order D.balanee
【答案】B。
【解析】你坐在我帽子上，帽子已严重变形了。out of shape意为变形out of date意为过时：out of order意为混乱out ofbalance 意为失衡。
【备考提示】面对教材里的词组、搭配，我们要注意收集和整理，并尤其要加强新出现的固定搭配的记忆和分类汇总。
四、考察单词基本义的引申和拓展
近年来，常见单词的陌生义项在高考试题中不时出现，给部分考生造成了不小的障碍。
5、To make members of a team perform better,the trainer first of all has to know their _____ and weaknesses.
A.strengths B.benefits
C.techniques D.values
【答案】A。
【解析】语境为：要使队员表现得更好，教练员首先得清楚每个队员的优点和缺点。B项表利益、好处，不合题意。而A项除表体力外，还可引申为可数名词something providing force or power优点、强项，符合语境。
【备考提示】平时多翻阅英语词典，尽可能了解最常见单词的新义项。同时，加强英语材料的接触，拓展自己的知识面，提高自己的英语水平。

【命题意图与考点定位】特定语境中的名词辨析。
4A[解析] 近义名词辨析，该句的主语是动名词结构achieving，谓语是is，表语是not a mysterious 。空格处填入的是表语的核心名词，介词结构without science basis作后置定语修饰该名词。practice意为练习，实践，program意为节目，程序，计划，两者不符合句意，首先排除。procedure和process都可表示过程，但procedure强调过程中经历的程序、手续、步骤，如：Making a complaint is a simple procedure.(申诉的手续相当简单。)process则指(为达到某一目标的)过程、进程，如：Coming off the drug was a long and painful process for him.(戒毒对他是个漫长、痛苦的过程。)本句强调的是学习英语的过程，应选[A]process。

(他没有固定职业。) position意为(雇用)职位，工作，职务，如：Hes got a good position.(他谋得一份好工作。)career可指事业, 生涯，也可指某人工作经历或事业上取得成就的总的过程或进程，如：an officer with a distinguished career(有着卓越成就的军官)。题句冒号后的内容是对前面的补充说明，即，介绍了史密斯先生一生从事过的工作，这些工作单独来看是职业，但总的来看，是他的生涯。因此，应选[D]career。
[句意] 史密斯先生有着不寻常的人生：他起初当过办公室职员，然后当海员，最终做了一名教师。
6B[解析] 名词辨析，乍一看，选项的四个词都有公司、企业的意思，但是这个解释不合句意，这时考生需要考虑词汇的引申义。[B]company除了表示公司，还有同伴、陪伴之意，如：I enjoy his company.(我喜欢和他在一起。)[B]代入后，符合句意，为正确选项。由于收音机给人以亲切感，所以它不只是一个媒体，还可以与人作伴。

高考英语复习知识点：冠词
高考对冠词的考查几乎每年都有一道题，而且都设两空，以增加覆盖面和难度。考生在冠词试题上失分较多，主要是缺乏语感，对一些知识点掌握不够透彻。高考冠词主要考查其基本用法，包括定冠词与不定冠词的区别用法、名词前省略冠词的场合、特指与泛指的区分以及习语中冠词的用法等。
考点一、 考查不定冠词a / an表示个别或泛指的用法

C. the; a D. a; the
【解析】 答案为D。a special holiday指某一个特别的节日the whole family为特指。
考点二、 考查定冠词the特指某一个人或事物的用法
1. I looked under_____bed and found books I lost last week.
A. the; a B. the;the

【解析】 答案为B。此题中的the bed和the books都为特指。the bed 指所看的床the books指所丢的书。

A. a; theB. a; aC. the; a D. the; the

考点四、 考查不定冠词在具体化的抽象名词前的用法
1. How about_____Christmas evening party?
I should say it was_____success.
A. a; a B. the; a
C. a; 不填 D. the; 不填
【解析】 答案为B。the Christmas evening party为特指刚结束的圣诞晚会;a success考查抽象名词具体化时的不定冠词用法。success原为抽象名词，不可数, 但在此处已经完全具体化而变为可数名词。题中a success意为一次成功的晚会。当抽象名词表示具有某种特性、状态、情感、情绪的人和事时，这个抽象名词已经变为可数名词，再如What a pleasant surprise you gave us! 意为你真的给我们带来了惊喜。
