六．名词

我们来看2019年高考英语全国卷（一）语法填空题第66题：

In recent years some Inuit people in Nunayut 65 (report) increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a 66 (believe) that populations are increasing.

由不定冠词a，可以确定66空应该是个名词，that populations are increasing.是一个同位语从句，以此，也能判断出，66空是个名词。Believe的名词形式是belief,这就是正确答案。

本题与前面讲的61题很有关联：

我们来看语法填空61题：

The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and some big land masses as far south as Newfoundland. While they are rare north of 88°,there is evidence 61 they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada.

简析：名词evidence后，有一个完整的句子，且这一句话是前面名词evidence的内容，因此我们判断出，后面句子 they range all the way across the Arctic是一个同位语从句，且功能只是引导作用，不充当任何成分，因此答案为：that.

只不过，61题考名词性从句的引导词，而本题是考引导词前面的名词。由此看来，名词性从句的内容，我们必须要做到融会贯通哦。
