温暖我们整个冬天的一定是每天与读书和学习相伴，愿所有的美好，都在坚定前行中，慢慢点亮。我们今天一起学习名词。
名词是高考英语中考查的重点，主要侧重于对形近名词、意近名词的辨析以及对名词的固定搭配的考查，在语法填空中重点考察名词单复数、不可数名词、名词所有格和词性转化。这一专题的掌握需要平时词汇的积累和灵活掌握前缀后缀等拓展词汇的运用。我们一起看几个例句：
1.(2021年全国乙卷·69) ________(activity) there range from whale watching to hiking (远足) and accommodations aim to have a low impact on the natural environment.
答案：Activities
解析：考查名词复数。空格中所填单词在句中作主语，由句中from whale watching to hiking可知，这里指各种各样的活动，需用activity的复数形式。
2.(2021年八省联考·65) A________ (student) college experience is his or her own, and the student must put his or her education first.
答案：student’s
解析：考查名词所有格。根据句意，一个学生的大学经历是他或她自己的并且该生必须把他或她的教育放在第一位。需用student的所有格形式，因为是一个学生，故填student’s。
3. (2020年全国Ⅱ卷·61) Chinese New Year is a _____________ (celebrate) marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring.
答案：celebration
解析：考查词性转换。根据句意，春节是一个庆祝，标志冬季的结束，春天的开始。空格前的不定冠词a提示我们此处也应用名词形式，故用celebration。
4. (2017全国Ⅰ卷·62) This trend,…, has had some unintended side _______(effect) such as overweight and heart disease…
答案：effects
解析：考查名词复数。表示“一些副作用”，故用复数，从后面举了两种病例也可知用复数。
5. (2019年全国Ⅰ卷·66) In recent years some Inuit people in Nunavut have reported increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a _______(believe) that populations are increasing.
答案：belief
解析：考查词性转换。由前面的不定冠词提示我们，空格处应填名词，故填belief。
6. (2019年全国Ⅲ卷·66) When they were free from work, they invited us to local events and let us know of an interesting ____________ (compete) to watch, together with the story behind it.
答案：competition
解析：考查词性转换。由空格前的不定冠词an及形容词interesting可知，空格处应该填名词，故填competition。
