高考臨近，小編為大家準(zhǔn)備了些高考短語(yǔ)及其用法和搭配，希望大家能從中獲益！

1. 表示“聽眾”、“觀眾”，是集合名詞，用作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)可用單數(shù)(視為整體時(shí))或復(fù)數(shù)(視為個(gè)體時(shí))。如：

The audience is [are]listening attentively. 聽眾都在聚精會(huì)神地聽著。

The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 觀眾對(duì)演出非常欣賞。

有時(shí)由于語(yǔ)義的需要，分別用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)更合適。如：

The audience was enormous. 觀眾人很多。(from www.nmet168.com)

The audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 觀眾要在八點(diǎn)前都入座。

2. 形容聽(觀)眾人數(shù)之多或少，通常用 large, small, crowded, thin等形容詞(但是不能用 many)修飾audience。如：

There was a large audience of young people at the pop concert. 流行音樂(lè)演奏會(huì)上有大量青年聽眾。

Her lecture had a crowded audience. 她的演講擠滿了聽眾。

The speaker had a small (thin) but attentive audience. 這位演講者的聽眾不多(很少)，但很專心。

要在那么多觀眾面前唱歌她感到很緊張。

正：She felt nervous at having to sing before so large an audience [such a large audience].

誤：She felt nervous at having to sing before so many audience.

3. audience 雖為集合名詞，但有時(shí)可用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：

The audiences were enormous. 聽眾特別多。

He addressed audiences all over the country. 他向全國(guó)各地的聽眾作地演講。

4. audience 有時(shí)可表示“讀者”。如：

That book has a large audience. 那本書有廣大的讀者。
