名词作定语考点聚焦考题研读知识点用法
作定语的名词往往是说明其中名词的材料、用途、时间、地点、内容、类别等。
（1）一般用单数形式，但在个别情况下也有用复数的。如：
goods train货车 sports meeting运动会 展览机器的大厅___________
注意：被修饰的名词变复数时，一般情况下，作定语用的名词不需要变为复数形式，但由man或woman作定语修饰的名词变成复数时，两部分皆要变为复数形式。如：
man doctor—men doctors 男医生 女歌手________
（2）有时在汉语看来，似乎要用形容词作定语，但英语习惯上却要用名词作定语。如：
science fiction 科幻小说 convenience food 方便食品
健康状况_________ 科普读物________
（3）许多合成名词可直接用于名词前作定语，起形容词的作用。
a long-distance call长途电话 first-class tickets头等舱机票
一份兼职工作_______ 日常教学_______
（4）名词可以用来修饰名词,叫做名词前置修饰语。名词做前置修饰语通常用可数名词的单数形式, 即使指一个以上的事物时也如此。如：书店可用"a book shop"而不用"a books shop"。【答案】（1）machines hall；woman singer—women singers （2）health situation ；popular science books
（3）a part-time job； day-to-day teaching
