知识梳理:提纲挈领,抓住重点和难点!
一、基数词的构成
1.1-12的基数词是独立的单词,即: one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight, nine,ten,eleven,twelve。
2.13-19的基数词以-teen结尾。如: fourteen,seventeen等,但13,15,18较特殊, 13-thirteen 15-fifteen 18-eighteen。
3.20-90的整十位均以-ty结尾。如: sixty,ninety,但20,30,40,50,80较特殊, 20-twenty 30-thirty 40-forty 50-fifty 80-eighty。
4.十位数与个位数之间要加连字符号"-",如:28-twenty-eight,96-ninety-six。
5.百位和十位(若无十位则和个位)之间加and,如:148-one hundred and forty-eight 406-four hundred and six。
6.hundred(百),thousand(千),million(百万),billion(十亿)等前面即使有具体的数词,也不能在它们的后面加s。如:600-six hundred,8百万-eight million。
7.1000以上的数字,从后往前数每三位加一个逗号","第一个逗号前为千(thousand),第二个逗号前为百万(million),第三个逗号前为billion(十亿)。英语中无"万"这个词,我们可以用"几十个千(thousand)"表示几万,"几百个千(thousand)"表示"几十万"。如:2,510=two thousand five hundred and ten;84,296=eight-four thousand two hundred and ninety-six;274,350=two hundred and seventy-four thousand three hundred and fifty。
二、序数词的构成
序数词一般是以与之相应的基数词尾加-th构成,例如 fourth, tenth,但以下的这些基数词变为序数词时, 有特别之处。
1.one--- first, two --- second, three --- third, five --- fifth, nice --- ninth, twelve --- twelfth
2. 以ty 结尾的单词, 要先变y为I, 在加-eth. 例如:thirty ---thirtieth, fifty ---fiftieth
3. 以one, two, three 等结尾的多位数词, 要将各位数变成序数词。 例如: twenty-one --- twenty-first, one hundred and one --- one hundred and first
注意: 序数词前常用定冠词, 有时还可以用不定冠词 a/an 则表示 "又一 "的意思。
例如:Mr Brown has a second car. 布朗先生另外还有一辆车。
He has tried a second time. 他又尝试了一次。
三、数词的应用
1.时刻的表示:小时、点钟、分钟、秒钟要用基数词。
①"几点钟"用基数词加o'clock。o'clock可省略。如: 5点钟-five(o'clock).
②"几点过几分 ",≤30分钟"用介词past。如: 7:05-five past seven;7:15-fifteen (a quarter)past seven;7:30-half past seven。
③"差几分几点"用介词"to"。如:7:40-twenty to eight;7:45-fifteen(a quarter to eight。
④日常生活中的时间读法常常简化,直接按基数词的顺序读。如:7:05-seven o five;7:15- seven fifteen。
2.年月日的表示:
① 年份用基数词,如:1999年-nineteen ninety-nine; 1900年-nineteen hundred; 2000-two thousand;1905-nineteen o five;
② 年用基数词,日用序数词。如:1998年6月8日 写作:June 8,1998;读作:June the eighth, nineteen ninety-eight或the eighth of June, nineteen ninety-eight。
3. 世纪、年代表示法:
(在)90年代 (in) the nineties
(在)19世纪 (in) the nineteenth century
(在)18世纪30年代 (in) 1730s或1730's
4.编号的表示:
① Lesson One =the first lesson第一课;
② Bus No.3=the No.3bus 3路公共汽车;
③ 表示住所时不用"No."如:302房间-Room 302(读作:room three o two);
④ 如果编号的数词比较长,一般用基数词。如:Page 457第457页;
⑤ 电话号码,用基数词,如:3855633-three eight five five(double five) six three three(double three)。
5.分数的表达:
分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于"1",分母则加"s"。如:1/3 one third,2/3two thirds;
另外:1/2 a(one)half; 1/4one fourth或a(one)quarter;3/4threefourths或three quarters。
half a second; a quarter of a second四分之一秒
6. 表示有小数的词用基数词。
5.5 five point five
12.135 twelve point one three five
7.表示百分数
5℅:five percent (per cent), 0.8℅ zero point eight percent (per cent).
8.表示有小数的词用基数词。

2)具体数词+metre(s)/kilometre(s)/kilo(s)long / high /tall /deep /away等。如:长江长6300公里。The Changjiang River is 6,300 kilometres long.
3)表示"几十岁"用序数词,eg. 在他三十几岁时 in his thirties

2.答案: B。此题主要考查序数词的运用。
3.答案:C。此题主要考查英语中的分数表示法。英语中表示分数时,分母用序数词,分子用基数词,当分子大于1时,表示分母的序数词后要加s.
