考点１：名词词义理解
例1．（2008北京）―What's your favorite subject, Mike? 
    ------- It's interesting.
A. Toys         B. Math           C.T-shirts         D.E-mail
【解析】此题考查名词词义认知，题干中出现“subject”为“科目”之意，题项中只有Math数学与subject一致，其他三个名词：Toys玩具，T-shirts T恤衫，E-mail电子邮件，与所问的“最喜欢的是哪一学科”搭配不上。故答案是B。
【解题技巧】此类试题要求学生在平时的学习中尽可能的多积累词汇，考试中认真审题，读懂题干，认清选项，答案便清晰准确。

考点2：名词的数
例2．（2008成都）My friend Dave helped me a lot by giving me ______ on English learning.
A. advices        B. many advice        C. some advice
【解析】此题考查名词的可数与不可数。advice是不可数名词，故不能加-s；many修饰可数名词，不可选；some既可修饰可数名词复数，也可修饰不可数名词，因此，应选C.
【解题技巧】此类题要求学生分清可数名词和不可数名词，并记住a, an，many及数词等不能修饰不可数名词。

考点３：名词所有格
例3. (2008河北)Can you imagine what life will be like in __________time?
A.20 years’         B.20 year’s         C.20-years’         D.20-years
【解析】 此题考查名词的格，以 s 结尾的名词的复数的所有格在右上角加“ ’”。20 years’ time 意为“ 二十年的时间 ”
【解题技巧】此类题要求学生了解名次所有格的构成法：单数名词加“’s”; 以 s 结尾的复数名次加“’” ; 不以s 结尾的复数名词加 “’s” ; 表示时间，世界，国家， 城，机构， 团体等名称的词，通常使用名次所有格（即“’s”）.本题years 以s 结尾，所以只在词尾加“’”，首先排除B、D,C答案有连字符，名词不能用复数，故应选A
