C.fault D.duty
答案C。考查同义词辨析。fault侧重于造成差错的主观责任;error、mistake侧重于“错误”这一客观事实;而duty则是指责任、义务、该做的事。
二、名词“数”清,词义才能记准
学习名词,同学们一般都是只注意名词的“义”,往往会忽略名词的“数”;有时是注意“数”了,但却是用汉语“数”的概念来想英语单词的“数”,于是就出现了许多典型的错误。
例:Father went to his doctor for ______ about his heart trouble.
A.an advice B.advice
C.advices D.the advices
答案B。advice为不可数名词,不能直接用不定冠词限定,也不能使用复数。本题容易误选A和C。
英语里,名词有“可数名词(countable noun)”和“不可数名词(uncountable noun)” 之分,而可数名词又有“单数(singular form)”和“复数(plural form)”之别。学习名词,首先要注意其分类标注。名词词义的区别和一词多义,都是建立在名词分类基础上的。
