你知道newspaper的用法吗?newspaper可数吗?tear可数吗?请看看下面这道题,你不会出错吧:

I found her sitting in the corner, reading _____ newspaper, with _____ in her eyes.

A. a, tear                          B. a piece of, tears

C. a, tears                        D. a piece of, tear

【陷阱】误选D,许多学生错误地认为,既然news(消息) paper()均为不可数名词,那么newspaper(报纸)也应是不可数的;同时认为眼泪泪水不可数,泪水眼泪也应该不可数。

【分析】最佳答案为Cnewspaper tear均为可数名词,它们不仅可以连用不定冠词、可以用复数,而且还可以连用数词。

Her eyes filled with tears. 她热泪盈眶。

She dried her tears with a handkerchief. 她用手帕擦干了眼泪。

The newspapers were full of lies. 报纸上一片谎言。

A newspaper is a publication. 报纸是一种出版物。

顺便说一句,若不是将 newspaper 当作是供阅读或传递信息的一种东西,而只是把它当成一种来看待,也可用作不可数名词,如(from www.lulutubu.com)
