3. crowd
【用法1】n. 人群
用作名詞時(shí)，其為集合名詞。作主語時(shí)，其謂語用單數(shù)(視為整體時(shí))或復(fù)數(shù)(考慮到個(gè)體成員時(shí))均可。
【例句】①the crowd moves on, and no one tries to stop it. 人群向前移動(dòng)，誰也沒試圖阻止。
②the crowd were running in all directions. 人群往四面八方跑去。
強(qiáng)調(diào)人數(shù)多時(shí)，可用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：
there were crowds of people waiting to get in. 有許多人在等著進(jìn)去。
【用法2】v. “聚集”、“擠滿”
【例句】①people crowded round to get a better view. 人們爭相圍觀。
②shoppers crowded the streets. 買東西的人擠滿了大街。
常用結(jié)構(gòu) be crowded with
【例句】①the hall was crowded with people. 大廳擠滿了人。
②the exhibition was crowded with visitors. 展覽會(huì)擠滿了參觀的人。
此外，派生形容詞 crowded 意為“擁擠的”。如
crowded trains (hotels, roads, shops) 擁擠的火車(旅館，道路，商店)
【考查點(diǎn)】crowd不同詞性的用法。
【易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)】詞性不同時(shí)意思不明確。
【考題鏈接】
when a bus comes, the ____________ at the bus-stop rushes and pushes to get on.
a. people b. crowd c. police
答案：b。
解題思路：此題考查名詞。由于句中所給謂語是rushes and pushes，用了單數(shù)，而people和police都是復(fù)數(shù)名詞，其謂語要用復(fù)數(shù)，故選b。
4. police
【用法】n. 警察
police是警察的統(tǒng)稱，包括policemen和policewomen，一般用作復(fù)數(shù)，作主語時(shí)，其謂語要用復(fù)數(shù)。如要表示“一個(gè)警察”，則用a policeman 來表達(dá)。
【例句】the police are looking for the robber.警察（方）正在尋找盜賊。
【考查點(diǎn)】詞意理解。
【易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)】作主語時(shí)謂語誤用單數(shù)。

a. was b. are c. is
答案：b。
解題思路：此題考查police的用法，其作主語時(shí)，謂語要用復(fù)數(shù)，故選b。

（二）重點(diǎn)短語
［短語學(xué)習(xí)］
1. along with
【用法】連同，跟……一起 (= together with)
along with相當(dāng)于一個(gè)并列連詞，當(dāng)其連接并列主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞的數(shù)取決于充當(dāng)主語的第一個(gè)名詞的數(shù)。與此用法類似的短語還有together with, as well as.
