本期重點：名詞
名詞方面主要考查的是名詞的單復數形式(例1、4)。此時要注意的是一些詞加s后意思就有可能改變，例如：paper(紙)papers(試卷)、safe(安全的)safes(保險箱)、glass(玻璃)glasses(眼鏡)、wood(木材)woods(樹林)、work(工作)works(作品)等。還有一些特殊的復合名詞也要注意，例如father-in-law 改成復數形式是fathers-in-law。
考點解析：
例1：Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2__________
minorities, the paper has put into place policies.
解析：在表達“百分之幾”時，只需用基數詞加上單數percent即可。
例2：In addition, the paper instituted a content
audit (審查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of
representation of woman and people of color in photographs S7._________
解析：不定冠詞a(n)或定冠詞the加上單數個體名詞可以指一類事物，若不用冠詞，則名詞須為復數。此處woman與people并列作為of 的賓語，由于people是集體名詞，單數形式表復數意義，從平衡角度出發，應該將woman改為women。
例3：Words came that the missing boy had been found. 1.__________
解析:word為當可數名詞時，意思為“(某人所說的)話”，當其為不可數名詞時，意思為“消息”。根據句意，本題中word應改為“消息”的意思，所以應該把Words改為Word。
例4：They spent over a million year evolving as co-operative hunters. S5.__________
解析：year是可數名詞，而且前面又有a million 修飾，所以要用復數。
