中考英语一轮复习指导：newspaper可数吗
I found her sitting in the corner, reading ||||| newspaper, with ||||| in her eyes.A. a, tear B. a piece of, tearsC. a, tears D. a piece of, tear误选D，很多学生错误地觉得，既然news(消息)和 paper(纸)均为不可数名词，那样newspaper(报纸)也应是不可数的;同时觉得眼泪即泪水，水不可数，泪水和眼泪也应该不可数。最好答案为C。newspaper和 tear均为可数名词，它们不仅能够连用不定冠词、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. 报纸上一片谎话。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，而只不过把它当成一种纸来看待，也可用作不可数名词，如(from www.yygrammar.com)：Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper. 把它用张报纸包起来。
