七、冠词

1、Thank you for sending us ____ fresh vegetables ofmany kinds. You have done us ____ greatservice.
A、不填;aB、the;aC、不填;不填D、the;不填
【分析】A.第一空表示泛指,而第二空构成一个短语do sb. a greatservice,其意思为“给某人提供好的服务”。Service在这里为抽象名词具体化。

2、Young as he is, David has gained ____ richexperience in ____ society.
A、the; the B、a;不填C、不填;不填D、不填;the
【分析】C.experience意思为“经验”时是一个不可数名词,当意思为“经历”时是一个可数名词。本题是他在社会中赢得了很丰富的经验,experience在此为不可数名词,社会在这里是抽象名词,所以不加冠词。

3、The police have ____ power to deal with suchmatters by ____ law.
A、the; theB、不填;不填C、不填;the D、the;不填
【分析】D.句子第一空后面的不定式做定语对power进行修饰,特指某种权力,用定冠词the;而第二空后面的law泛指“法律”这一概念,不用冠词。

4.—— “Do you know ______ English for ‘帅哥’?”

—— “I’m afraid I don’t. I’m not interested in _______ Englishlanguage.”

A. the,theB. the, 不填 C. 不填,the D. 不填, 不填

【分析】A。在英语中,表示语言的名词前通常不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下可用冠词。如:

(1) 当语言名词表特指意义,其前可用定冠词。如:

The English spoken in America and Canada is a little differentfrom that spoken in England.

美国和加拿大讲的英语与英国讲的英语有点不同。

(2) 当语言名词表示某一语言中的对应词时,其前要用定冠词。如:

What’s the English for this? 这个东西用英语怎么说?

(3) 当在语言名词后加上 language一词时,也要用冠词。如:

There have been many changes in the history of the Englishlanguage. 英语发展过程中有很多变革。

2. I couldn’t remember the exact date of the storm, but I knewit was ______ Sunday because everybody was at ______ church.

A. a, the B. a, 不填 C. 不填,aD. 不填, 不填

【分析】B。确实,在通常情况下星期名词前不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下还是可以用冠词的,如表示特指,其前可用定冠词;表示“某一个”或受描绘性定语修饰表示“某种”这样的意义等,其前可用不定冠词。如:

He came on the Sunday and went away on the Monday.他星期日来,星期一就走了。

My birthday happened to be on a Saturday. 我的生日碰巧是星期六。

3. Which person do you refer to, the one with ______ longhairorthe one with _______ longbeard?

A. a, a B.不填,不填 C. a,不填D. 不填,a

【分析】D。hair 和 beard 在用法上并不完全相同:hair可用作可数或不可数名词,用作可数名词时,指一根一根的毛发或头发,如说 There’s a hair in my soup(我的汤里有根头发);用作不可数名词(集合名词)时,则是整体地指一个人的头发。比较:

He has gray hairs. 他有几根白发了。

He has gray hair. 他满头白发了。

而beard则通常只用作可数名词,且指的是一个人所有的胡须,而不是指一根胡须,它的复数形式,通常是指多个人的胡须,而不是指多根胡须,如:

He no longer wears a beard. 他不再留胡须。

Not all men grow beards. 并不是所有的男人都留胡须。

4. I once watched _______ one-act play, which was played by_______ 11-year-old boy.

A. a, a B.an, an C. a,anD. an, a

【分析】C。第一空填 a,因为 one-act的第一个音是辅音不是元音;第二空填an,是因为11的英文是eleven它的第一个音是元音不是辅音。类似:

(1) Before he was arrested, he had taken _______ one-monthholiday, and stayed in the country with ________ 18-year-old girl,one of his students.

A. a, a B. an, an C. a,an D. an,a

(2) We hired _______ one-eyed man to play in our film, and wegave him _______ 100-pound check for just one minute.

A. a, an B. an, a C. a, a D.an, an

5.—— “Have you seen _____ pen? I left it here this morning.”

——“Is it _____ black one? I think I saw it somewhere.”

A. a, the B. the, the C. a,aD. the, a

【分析】C。第一空填a,比较好理解;而第二空填a是因为此句中的one 并非指前面提到的 pen,即这里的 one 与前面的pen 并非同一事物,这从后面一句的 I think I saw it somewhere 可以清楚地知道。比较:

——“Have you seen _____ pen? I left it here this morning.”

—— “Is it _____ black one? I found it in the corner.”

A. a, the B. the, the C. a,a D. the, a

注意其后 I found it in the corner这一信息,它表明说明者是拿着笔在与对方说话。再如:

——“Have you seen _______ new bike? I put it here just now.”

—— “Is it _______ white one? A boy has ridden it away.”

A. a; a B. a; the C. the;the D. the; a

注意其后的 A boy has ridden it away 表明自行车已不在说话者身旁.

the定冠词省不得

在下面这段和产业买卖有关的英文里,存在着 4个错误。你看得出来吗?
“If you have the intention tosell your flat. Please don't hesitate to call us, we'll offer youhightest selling price.”
第一个错误是句型形式“have the intentionto sell”的错误;正确的形式是:intend to sell 或 have the intention ofselling.
另外两个错误和标点符号有关。一个是在副词分句后面不该用句点而用;另一个是应该用句点的地方而不用。
“If...flat”是条件副词分句,不可独立生存,必须依赖后头的主句“please...us”,才可以成为完整的复杂句(complexsentence)。这样一来,主句前面的句点,就要改成逗号(,)了。
另外一个错误是两个主句之间既没有句点也没有连接词,而只有逗号;这种错误叫 run-on sentence:
“..., please don't hesitate tocall us, we...”
这个句子里的逗号(,)要改为句点(。)才对:
“...。Please don't hesitate tocall us. We...”
不用句点也可以,但要用恰当的连接词,如:
“..., please don't hesitate tocall us, as we'll offer you...”
谈了3个错误,现在来谈最后一个错误,就是定冠词(definite article)的消失:
“We'll offer you highestselling price.”
习惯上,最高级形容词(the superlativedegree of adjectives)前面要用定冠词 the。因此,这句话要改为:
“We'll offer you the highestselling price.”
必须使用定冠词的例子
接下来,顺便把其他必须用定冠词的场合列下,作为参考。
㈠ 表示世上唯一的事物,如:
① the sun; the earth; the sky;the North Pole
㈡ 当一个名词被再次提起时,如:
② A car knocked against atree. We can still see the mark on the tree made by the car.
㈢ 当名词后面有个修饰作用的短语或分句时,如:
③ The girl in red is mysister.
④ The thief who stole yourwallet yesterday was arrested.
㈣ 加在某些形容词前面,以表示某类人或事,如:
⑤ The rich often get richerand the poor, poorer.
⑥ The doctor lost no time ingiving help to the injured.
⑦ Don't expect theimpossible.
㈤ 加在某些山川、河流、岛屿、国家名称之前,如:
⑧ the Alps; the Thames; theBritish Isles; the Philippines; the Atlantic Ocean.

2010年高考英语试题分类汇编——冠词

(10福建)

21. It’sgoodfeeling for people to admire the Shanghai World Expo that givesthempleasure.

A. 不填,aB. a,不填C. the, aD. a, the

21. 答案:B

考点:冠词的使用

解析:good feeling并非特指,故用a;pleasure是抽象名词,无需冠词。句意为“人们喜欢上海世博会给它们的快乐,这是(一)种不错的感觉” a good feeling , 一种不错的感觉,give sb pleasure。
